REQUIREMENTS
 - Any Amiga® (compatible) computer with at least OS3.0.
 - picture.datatype V43+
 - cybergraphics V2+
 - gfx board (of course:-)
 

DESCRIPTION
 ilbm.datatype 44.4 is a replacement for the ilbm.datatype 43.x
 that comes with pictdt43x. In opposite to the version by
 Matthias Scheler, this one is able to display ham and ehb
 pix on a CyberGfx screen in correct colors!


KNOWN PROBLEMS
 - DOpus Mangellan and 24bit/ham images
 According to the docs of DOpus 5.65, DOpus has some problems to
 display 24bit images under certain circumstances. This is not a bug
 of the datatype! (thanks to Dennis Barret for the error report)
 pre 5.65 releases work fine.


INSTALLATION
 Just 'Copy ilbm.datatype TO SYS:Classes/datatypes'
