This disk contains 4 graphics utilities.
Installing each is described in turn.
Installing GIFDESK
GIFDESK is a DOS program for viewing and tiling GIF format images.
1. Make a directory on the drive you wish to install the program on,
and change to it.
Eg: C:
MD GDESK
CD GDESK
2. From that drive and directory, run the GIFDESK program from the floppy
disk. For example, if the disk is in drive A type:
A:GIFDESK
This will unpack the files onto your hard disk.
3. The program is now installed. Type GIFDESK *.GIF to run it.
Note that it will end immediately if there are no GIF files
in that directory. For this reason you may want to install
it in your DOS directory, so you can run it anywhere.

Installing Graphics Workshop for Windows
Graphic Workshop for Windows is a graphics conversion and processing for the
Windows environment.
1. Make a directory on the drive you wish to install the program on,
and change to it.
Eg: C:
MD GWS2
CD GWS2
NOTE! You MUST NOT install to the same directory as you use for the DOS
version! You will also get problems if both programs are in your DOS path.
2. From that drive and directory, run the GWSWIN program from the floppy
disk. For example, if the disk is in drive A type:
A:GWSWIN
This will unpack the files onto your hard disk.
3. The program is now installed. You now need to add GWS.EXE in that
directory to your program manager setup. See your windows documentation
for full details.
Installing JPEG4
These programs provide a simple and memory efficient way of converting
between GIF and JPEG. Use these if you find your windows programs run
out of memory, or if you have a lot of images to convert in batch mode.
1. Make a directory on the drive you wish to install the program on,
and change to it.
Eg: C:
MD JP
CD JP
2. From that drive and directory, run the JPEG4 program from the floppy
disk. For example, if the disk is in drive A type:
A:JPEG4
This will unpack the files onto your hard disk.
3. The program is now installed.
Use the DJPEG program to convert from JPEG to GIF
Use the CJPEG program to convert from GIF to JPEG
