DESCRIPTION

     An universal picture loader module for XiPaint supporting over
     20 file formats. Module is designed for very high loading speed
     and support of many picture file format variants (see below
     for detailed list).

     In addition the module supports loading of pictures by
     Datatypes.

     Internally supported formats for loading:

     1) IFF-ILBM (1 to 24Bit incl. HAM6/HAM8)
     2) PhotoCD (Base format 768x512 or 512x768 (portrait))
     3) PPM/PGM/PBM (P1&P4 b&w, P5 grey, P6 color)
     4) QRT (also known as dump format by PD raytracers as POV-Ray)
     5) Targa (compressed & uncompressed)
     6) PCX (compressed & uncompressed)
     7) BMP (compressed & uncompressed)
     8) TIF (packbit-compr./uncompr.)
     9) EGS7.x window icons
     10) DEEP (compressed & uncompressed)
     11) YUV
     12) VLAB raw
     13) RGB
     14) HHsYUVSq sequence format
     15) IFF-PBM (DPII)
     16) ACBM
     17) FBM
     18) Sun raster (uncompressed)
     19) MacPaint (b&w compressed 1Bit format; datafork only)
     20) HHsXRL formats
     21) binary-EPS bitmaps (RGB and CMYK)
     22) TBCPlus frames

     The additional DataType support extends this list by many
     formats; DataTypes can e.g. be found on Aminet in util/DType.
     The DataType support is very fast, so that you can also view
     pictures in GIF or other formats quite fast for which Datatypes exist.

     The module can be used with both older XiPaints (3.0/3.1:
     invocation of the module with an included ARexx script) and
     newer XiPaints (3.2 and up: direct support of external
     loader modules).

     New since V2.0: Direct external module support for XiPaint 3.2
