Program Description and Distribution Concept
--------------------------------------------
SuperView (EL - evaluation version), a localized graphics viewer, converter,
editor and screen-grabber based on SuperView-Library, with ARexx support,
GUI, AmigaGuide online-help, Commodity-functionality and many more features.

SHAREWARE. Evaluation version with "please register" requester and some
restrictions - until you registered for your KeyFile...


What's new in this version
--------------------------
 - SAS/C 6.57 recompilation (runs better on 040, 060)
 - bugfixes
 - etc.


Description of Features and Requirements
----------------------------------------
Nearly anything is managed by object-oriented external modules
for loading, saving (SVObjects), displaying (SVDrivers) and
processing (SVOperators) graphics - converting graphics and
"screen-grabbing" also is possible in a very comfortable way.

Only requires OS V2.04 and 68000, but also makes use of available
OS V2.1 and V3.x features and 680x0 module versions.

Includes licensed SuperView-Library, which supports the following
file formats, periphal devices, display drivers and image processing
operators:

     ->>>> Total of 35 different graphic file formats    <<<<-
     ->>>> Total of  2 different periphal devices        <<<<-
     ->>>> Total of  8 different graphic display systems <<<<-
     ->>>> Total of 32 different graphic operators       <<<<-

               - CDR-Previews     - IFF-PBM            - Atari Degas

                 as well as all OS3-Datatypes
                 and 24 Bit-CyberGraphX DataTypes (picture.datatype V43).

                 Many formats with 24 Bit-Support.
                 Reads XPK- and PP20-packed data via Unpack.svobject.

                 Writes C-Sourcecode in chunky/RGB notation.

                 Together with external third party programs also the
                 following file formats seamlessly can be embedded:

     PROGRAM-CHANGES:
     ================

V5.69 (21.11.96):

   - completely recompiled using SAS/C V5.67
     (obviously saved 500 Bytes)
   - fixed installer script ending text
     (-> Klaus Stengel)
   - included Library 15.7
   - added hall of blame - for loser crackers
   - various additional safety checks
   - and more


     LIBRARY-CHANGES:
     ================

     V15.7 (21.11.1996) :
     --------------------
      - SVObjects, SVDrivers, SVOperators, LIBRARY, support-lib:

                    -  completely recompiled with SAS/C V6.57

      - SVObjects:  - JPEG: (see there)

      - Known Bugs: - C. Davis Sprague told me, that
                      the combination superview.library and
                      MCP + NEWTOOLTYPES patch did cause
                      crashing the library at startup time.
                      So don't use that patch...

      - Docs:       - fixed and updated
