Short:    SView5 - PPaint loader/saver V5.1 (17.1.2004)
Author:   Andreas R. Kleinert
Uploader: info@ar-kleinert.de
Type:     gfx/misc

 This archive includes a Personal IO SView5 Loader and a
 Saver library for PPaint 7.x and above.

 It enables every owner of a valid SView5.keyfile to also
 import/export images to/from PPaint directly. This
 will enable loading/saving of file formats that PPaint
 does not support.

 Without a SView5 keyfile the module can't be loaded at all.

 IMPORTANT: For installation, simple copy the supplied "libs"
 directory over the one in your "PPaint:" path. You may also
 wish to delete any previous "personal_sview_io.library"
 from there.

 Usage:

 Within the PPaint filerequester, select "SV AUTO" or
 any other entry starting with "SV " to utilize the
 SView5 Library IO module.

 Features:

   - 24 Bit images are imported as 24 bit images
   -  8 Bit palette images are imported as 8 bit images

   - 24 Bit images are exported as 24 bit images
   -  8 Bit palette (rendered) images are exported as 8 bit images

 This all happens transparently at biggest possible speed.
 All necessary conversions are done by the loader/saver and/or
 PPaint, with minimum overhead.

 NOTE: requires s5view.library V1+ and sview5support.library V1+

 Distribution and other legal conditions are to be obtained from the

 To get the complete distribution, un-archive each of the single
 archives into the same directory:

    LHA x [archive].lha RAM:

 This will result in a directory called "SView5" from where the
 installation script can be started. Note, that this won't work,
 if you did not un-archive all of the (non-OPTIONAL) archives...

 Other optional, separate archives for example are:

    Sv5-UX.lha     SVObjects for seldomly used Un*x file formats
    Sv5-WIZ.lha    wizard.library for those who don't have it already
