- uShow (microShow) version 1.0 - Copyright (c) 1987 Darrin Massena
-
- Usage: uShow [file name]
- To close picture, click in hidden upper-left close box or press any key.
-
- While working on the latest, greatest Mantis Development creation, I came upon
- the need for extremely short IFF picture read routines. It occurred to me
- that we can always use a shorter "Show" utility, so I whipped together -
-
- "uShow (or microShow) the less-than 1K IFF show utility"
-
- uShow is about half the size of this document file. Yes, it's true!
- uShow has been tested to work with IFF pictures from DPaint, DPaint II, Aegis
- Images, DigiView, and Amiga Live. DPaint I/II brushes are also displayed.
-
- A few limitations were imposed on uShow to keep it smallest:
-
- 1) uShow handles all error conditions but does not report the errors back to
- you. If uShow cannot find your file or cannot allocate screen memory,
- it will simply return to you without displaying the picture.
- 2) uShow cannot show pictures larger than your screen size (about 700x420).
- 3) uShow does not need quotes (") around filenames with spaces in them. To
- display the file "Spaces In Name.pic", just type "uShow Spaces In Name.pic".
-
- For a copy (on Amiga 3.5" disk) of the assembly language source to uShow,
- along with a set of more general purpose (but equally short) assembly language
- IFF ILBM read routines in Manx Assembler format, just send a meager $15 to:

- uShow is NOT public domain, but is freely redistributable by anyone so long
- as no profit is made through the redistribution. Give uShow to all your
- friends, include it in all software collections, just don't do anything stupid
- like trying to sell it. Who'd pay for this anyway?
