DESCRIPTION

     The UniversalGIO module set now consists of two modules:
     
     1) Universal loader module
     
     An universal GIO module for Photogenics 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 (see below)
     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.

     A new feature is available as preferences option: You can load
     pictures in downscaled form. This is useful if you don't have
     enough memory to load pictures in full size into Photogenics!

     2) Animation saver module for HHsYUVSq animation format
     
     With this module you can create TrueColor animations for playback
     e.g. with CyberTVPlayer. CyberTVPlayer can show such animations
     on your Workbench incl. TrueColor displaying with CyberGraphX.
     
NEW FEATURES
     New since V3.x: Animation saver module included
                     Support for downscaled loading
     New since V2.1: Extended file format information string for
                     pictures loaded with Datatypes
     New since V2.0: Support of binary-EPS and TBCPlus loading

SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS

     Photogenics (commercial image processing/painting program
       from Almathera; Photogenics Lite is NOT sufficient; to use
       the Datatype loading or downscaled loading at least
       Photogenics V1.2 is needed)

PRICE

     Shareware fee:

       Special add-on price: 10DM or 8US$ (only valid if you order the
				module together with one of my shareware

       Registration of just the module: 20DM (europe) or 18US$ (worldwide)
       Registration of the module if you are already registered user
         of one of my shareware programs EGS-TV, EGSPhotoAlbum or CyberShow:
