 V43.6 (30.11.96)   : - updated/changed docs
                      - fixed small bug (GadTools)
                      - fixed CTRL-C problem (IBrowse)
                        (-> Matteo Tenca)

 V43.5 (24.11.96)   : - progress bar now treated like requester.
                        Now will check pr_WindowPtr before trying
                        to open on (default) pubscreen
                        (-> Edwin H. Bielawski)
                      - added special fix for AWeb 2.1, which has
                        pr_WindowPtr correctly set, but does let
                        the Datatype operations do by an "AWebIP" task,
                        which has not. Thus when being called by
                        "AWebIP" we now refer to the pub screen
                        "AWeb" instead of fiddling with pr_WindowPtr

 Program information
 -------------------
 akPNG.datatype is a new PNG datatype, which is based on the
 latest PNG sources (zlib V1.0.2, pnglib V0.88).

 So it does support 8 Bit color mapped files and True color files
 (16, 24/32, 48 Bit) while 16 Bit (5:5:5/5:6:5) will be expanded,
 and 48 Bit (16:16:16) will be cut down to 24 Bit (8:8:8)

 With V39-V42 picture.datatype it either produces 256 color palette-based
 or HAM6/8 output (256 colors exported unmodified, 24 Bit data converted to
 either HAM 6 or HAM 8) with Ralph Schmidt's picture.datatype V43 any
 24 Bit output will be done unmodified.

 You must use the included preferences program for best configuration.
