 Program information
 -------------------
 akPNG.datatype is a new PNG datatype, which is based on the
 latest PNG sources (zlib V1.0.4, libpng 1.0 beta 5 - version 0.95).

 So it does support 8 Bit color mapped files (colorspace expanded to
 8 bit per component always) and True color files (24/48 Bit, alpha
 channel ignored, 48 Bit 16:16:16 cut down to 24 Bit 8:8:8).
 [ More detailed description can be found in akPNG.guide ]

 With V39-V42 picture.datatype it either produces (upto) 256 color
 palette-based or HAM6/8 output (256 colors exported unmodified,
 24 Bit data either dithered or converted to HAM6/HAM8) with
 Ralph Schmidt's picture.datatype V43 24 Bit may be done unmodified
 (the same applies to Picasso96's picture.datatype V43).

 You must use the included preferences program for best configuration.
