  Version      : 2.1
  Release Date : 17.04.1994


  Description
  ~~~~~~~~~~~
  WPG.svobject is an external Library-Module for the superview.library V2+.

  It contains SVDriver-Support for the superview.library V3+, and
  needs any SVDriver with Bitplane-Support.

  It supports reading of WPG (WordPerfect) BitMap Files.
  In detail these are :

  Reading :

   - WPG BitMap (GreyScaled) with 1, 2, 4 or 8 Bits ColorDepth
   - WPG BitMap (ColorMap)   with 1, 2, 4 or 8 Bits ColorDepth


  Writing :

   (not supported yet)


  Remarks
  ~~~~~~~
  WordPerfect WPG Files do not necessarily have to contain BitMap-Graphics,
  they also may contain various other data, e.g. Vector-Graphics.
  If a WPG File contains a BitMap-Graphic in any of its Chunks, this will
  be displayed, otherwise the file will be rejected.

  If a file does not contain any color information, WPG.svobject will
  generate GreyScales by default.
  This will be mentioned in the FileInfoRequester.

  This version actually has been tested with graphics with 1 and 4 Bit
  ColorDepth (2 and 16 Colors).
  Due to the fact, that the 2 Bit-Routine is identically to the 1 Bit-Routine
  and the 8-Bit routine is nearly the same as the 4 Bit-Routine, you
  should not get any problems with those pictures.
