---------------------------------------------------------
Program Description and Distribution Concept
--------------------------------------------
Successor of SuperView; SViewNG (evaluation version), a localized graphics
viewer, converter, editor and screen-grabber based on SuperView-Library,
with ARexx support, GUI, AmigaGuide online-help, Commodity-functionality
and many more features.
SHAREWARE (evaluation version).
What's *new* in this version
----------------------------
- quite a lot happened during the recent releases:
you should update NOW, since the next version probably
won't be released before the Computer '97 in Cologne
Description of Features and Requirements
----------------------------------------
Nearly anything is managed by object-oriented external modules
for loading, saving (SVObjects), displaying (SVDrivers) and
processing (SVOperators) graphics - converting graphics and
"screen-grabbing" also is possible in a very comfortable way.
Only requires OS V2.04 and 68000, but also makes use of available
OS V2.1 and V3.x features and 680x0 module versions, as well
as optional powerUP (TM) powerPC module plugins.
Includes licensed SuperView-Library, which supports the following
file formats, periphal devices, display drivers and image processing
operators:
->>>> Total of 44 different graphic file formats <<<<-
->>>> Total of 2 different periphal devices <<<<-
->>>> Total of 9 different graphic display systems (22 cards) <<<<-
->>>> Total of 32 different graphic operators <<<<-
SVObjects: - IFF-ACBM - Windows,OS/2 BMP - PNM (PBM,PGM,PPM)
- IFF-ILBM - JPEG (JFIF v6) - IMG (GEM Graphics)
- IFF-DEEP - PhotoCD - WPG (WP Bitmaps)
- IFF-FAXX - TIFF - MacPaint MAC
- IFF-PBM - PCX - EPS (Header/PS)
- IFF-RGB8 - Atari Degas - C64 (Koala, Doodle)
- IFF-YUVN - Windows Icon - CDR-Previews
- QRT/POV Raytrace - Mac PICT-2 - SGI
- SVG - Targa - Pictor/PCPaint
- SunRaster - UtahRLE - PNG
- FBM - XWD
as well as all OS3-Datatypes
and 24 Bit DataTypes (picture.datatype V43).
Many formats with 24 Bit-Support.
Reads XPK- and PP20-packed data via Unpack.svobject.
Writes C-Sourcecode in chunky/RGB notation.
Together with external third party programs also the
following file formats seamlessly can be embedded:

PROGRAM-CHANGES:
================
V7.25 (19.10.97):
- added polish catalogs by Boguslaw Dziewierz <cut@localbar.com>
- included Library 19.4
BTW: did you already notice, that BlitterSoft now is selling
Picture Manager prof. (PMPro) V4.1 for 39.95 UKP ?
Check out http://blittersoft.wildnet.co.uk/pmpro.htm
or the demo version on Aminet under biz/demo/pmpdemo.lha
(it's on the Aminet-CD #21, too)
LIBRARY-CHANGES:
================
V19.4 (19.10.1997) :
--------------------
- SVDrivers: - ECS, AGA: (see there)
- MISC: - added note about possible ppc.library and powerpc.library
conflicts (when using the PPC-Modules) to the installer
script: always use powerpc.library V7, when using one.
- BTW: the MCP and PPC notes in the installer script are not
yet localized. Would be nice, if someone could do that.
- updated polish catalog by Boguslaw Dziewierz <cut@localbar.com>
Now placed in correct directory, with correct spelling (polski)
- updated "Press feedback" section
- updated information on english PMPro in 3rd party section
- Prefs: - fixed small bug
- new Wizard-GUI with lots of improvements done by
