Image Info V1.1
This is a new version of IMGINFO.ACC uploaded as file #8819.
It is not a fix of version 1. From what I can tell (no negative
responses as of yet), version 1 seems to work. Version 1.1 changes
the basic functionality. Specifically:
* It retrieves more information than version 1. It provides
the image size in pixels (as before). It also uses the scan
information in the IMG file to determine the size of the
original art work in inches. It then takes information on
the resolution of your output device, and calculates what I
call the optimal image size (where there will be a one to one
pixel mapping from the image onto the device). This version
assumes a 9 pin printer with a driver supporting a 120 x 144
dots per inch output. (see note below).
* It will gracefully handle a premature end of file condition
if the IMG file it read comes up short of the required 16 byte
header.
* It also preserves the drive and path specified between multiple
uses of the accessory. Version 1 would reset this information
between uses.
And that's about it. Version 1.1 was also written in Personal Pascal
and free to anyone who appreciates it. Any comments, questions or
suggestions are welcome.

(Note: My original intent was to include in this version functionality
which would allow a user to specify the resolution of their output
device and then save that information in the executable image of the
accessory. Alas, after hours of fiddling, using Dan Wilga's Memfile
2.0 (which I find a most pleasant dump utility) I was unable to
find all the information which I would have to change. The next
version, if there's any demand for it, will provide that functionality.
For now, I really should be studying for the GRE this Saturday.)
