AMF- AmigaMetaFormat Datatype for all
other DataTypes for use with _registered_ MetaView (2.1 or better).

MetaView avaible at http://www.cs.tu-berlin.de/~jonash and Aminet:gfx/conv
Look there for registration.


COPYRIGHT:

  This datatype are freely distributable. The source based on the bmp.datatype
  example from David N. Junod.


INSTALLATION:

  Install "amf.datatype" (for all peoples with OS 3.0+):
    Copy the descriptor (Amiga MetaFile) to "devs:datatypes/" and the
    datatype (amf.datatype) to "sys:classes/datatypes/".

  Install "metaview.datatype" (for peoples with registered MetaView and OS
3.0+):
    Copy the descriptors (Windows MetaFile, DXF, DR2D, DSDR, CGM, XFIG) to
    "devs:datatypes/" and the datatype (metaview.datatype) to "sys:classes/
    datatypes/", verify the path in "env:metaview.prefs"
    (should created from metaview-install), reboot and try it.


BUGS:

  Maybe there are serious bugs.

  The datatype looks for env:datatypes/amf.prefs. This file can hold options
  with the following template:

    HEIGHT=xxx               Default: 480
