FastGif V1.00
(c) 1992 by Christophe PASSUELLO
---------------------------------
FastGif is a fast viewer for GIF pictures; written in C for the user interface
and assembler for unpacking and viewing routines.
FastGif can't be sold, but you can distribute it on DP's disks or on BBS
only if complete and unchanged.
BAD
---
- It uses a lot of memory (loading file in RAM), allocate big block (320Kb
for a 640 * 512 pixels pictures)
- Can't view pictures with more than 32 colors.
GOOD
----
- Very fast, mains routines are written using very high optimised assembler
(about twice faster than TurboGif)
- It should be even faster on 32 bits cards because the assembly routines are
small enough to fit in cache.
- It should works on NTSC or PAL.
- You can scroll picture.
- It handles corrupted GIF files
USE
---
FastGif takes one argument witch is the name of the GIF file, for each picture
it displays size, numbers of colors and so on, ...
Once displayed you can use the keys:
L : switch Interlace
H : switch Hires (only if no more than 16 colors)
O : switch OverScan
2 4 6 8 : scroll picture
ESC : escape from FastGif
The picture is displayed in a screen so you can put the Workbench in front
using the keys Amiga-Left N.
TO DO
-----
- Viewing more than 32 colors.
- Saving to IFF.
