RELEASE 1.1 DEMO VERSION

Update  Jan '96
-------




PLEASE NOTE:

THIS IS A DEMO VERSION OF DATACHROME 1.1

IT WILL ONLY LOAD THE TEST PICTURES INCLUDED

The full version works with all datatype-friendly
graphics files.

DATACONVERT NOT INCLUDED WITH THIS RELEASE

-----------------------------------------------------

.Guide files in this Documentation require AmigaGuide !

Install scripts require the standard Installer provided
with WB3.0.


The JFIF Datatype by Christoph Feck of Tower Systems
includes a progress window and a Prefs option for
different display modes. (It's also quite fast).
Now licensed for commercial distribution by CHROMA.

For this release of DataChrome, the datatypes are to
be kept in the format of their original archive to satisfy
license restrictions.

Follow the JFIF documentation to install this datatype. It
includes extra files in Libs, Codecs, Prefs etc. You WILL
need to remove existing JPEG datatypes to use it.

The GIF datatype on this disk is by Michael Zucchi. Permission
to distribute this datatype with the package has been
granted by the author.

An install script has been provided, which will install
PCX, Windows and GIF datatypes for you (but not JFIF).



Latest Info
-----------

If you've the "Amiga.info" datatype installed, you could
encounter problems when DataChrome intercepts "open file"
system calls. Keep it in Storage until it's needed, or
just de-activate DataChrome.

Make sure you install BOTH parts of the Datatypes into
Classes/ and Devs/ - some Datatypes also require extra
(ie more than 2) files to work.
