!!!!! GEM-View version 2.42 is on this Disk !!!!!
This version runs with HighColor and TrueColor cards and has been tested
on the Falcon 030, Spektrum1TC, Crazy Dots, Matrix true-color card, Nova 16M
and the CyReL M16-1280 (Cybercube Canada).
Please note that problems can occur if you use Chameleon to load GEM-View!
SEE ALSO: 'GraphicMode' in CHANGES, if you experience problems with
HighColor or TrueColor.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Run 'INSTALL.APP' to install GEM-View 2.30 and type in your registration-
number, your name and your code/key. Take care to type your name precisely,
observing capital/non-capital letters, spaces and special characters.
The program will then be automatically registered in your name.
If 'INSTALL.APP' don't work right, please use 'INSTALLA.APP', which
search the data files on drive 'A:'.
During this process you may, if you wish, instal the programs in
a directory other than the source directory. To do this, click on the empty
box below the word "Pfad:" and choose the destination directory from the
resulting selection box.
The contents of the archives (GEMVIEW.PAX, TOOLS.PAX and PICTURES.PAX)
can be seen below together with details of the subdirectories which will
be created.
Some special notes:
o A once-and-for-all depacking and installation process, which is not
dependent on your computer type, is all that is required.
After installation you can use all the files normally.
o You can start the installation from Floppy Disk, RAM-Disk or Hard-Disk.
It is, however, essential that the archives ( the .PAX files ) are in
the same directory as 'INSTALL.APP'.
o Before an existing file is overwritten, you will be asked for confirmation
to proceed.
o Using 'INSTALL.APP' doesn't modify the archives so you can copy this
disk after installation and send it to a friend! ;-)
If you registered an earlier version of GEM-View, and do not know your
code/key, you can obtain it as follows:-
o Send an eMail to me, with the following 'Subject:'
Register GEM-View: "#001234", "Norman User"
replacing the number by your own registration-number -see below- and
"Norman User" by your own name which must be typed in precisely,
observing capital/non-capital letters, spaces and special characters.
( You can discover your registration number quite simply.....
Run your old GEMVIEW and load the old GEMVIEW.PRG. - as if it were
an image file. When it is listed as a plain hex-dump,look to the right
of the third line to find a number preceded by '#'. This is your own
registration-number! )
OR
o Send me a letter with two CRI (international reply coupons), which
you can get at your post-office, saying that you want to know
your code/key. In this case your full name will be enough but please
write clearly and legibly!
Use the registration-number '000000' in the installation process to get
an unregistered version of GEMVIEW 2.30.
This version can then be tested for the next 14 days!
The Archives:
=============
GEMVIEW.PAX

- [2.42]:
o loads XGA images
- [2.41]:
o small changes
o Test between DSP-JPEG (Brainstorm) and MC68030 (Falcon030/16MHz)
NOTE: The followed times are combinations of load and decode.
For pure decoding the DSP is 10 to 14 times faster!
Loading and decompression time (no processing by GEM-View):
DSP-JPG MC68030
BV17.JPG : 588 x 800 ( 84910 Bytes) 0'06.3" vs. 0'48.5" (7.7)
PLAY2.JPG : 800 x 600 ( 87645 Bytes) 0'06.5" vs. 0'44.3" (6.8)
PLAY1.JPG : 800 x 600 (106525 Bytes) 0'07.0" vs. 0'46.9" (6.7)
BLACKTIP.JPG: 1219 x 838 (124990 Bytes) 0'11.2" vs. 1'23.9" (7.5)
QUEENXBI.JPG: 1270 x 420 (170776 Bytes) 0'09.2" vs. 1'05.2" (7.1)
- NOTE: (min)'(sec).(msec)"
- [2.40]:
o loads now PCD (Kodak Photo-CD images) with format BASE/4
o uses the DSP-JPEG-Decompressor written by Brainstrom, if installed.
o Quick 90, 180, 270 degree rotation.
In Monochrome(ST/Mhz): up to 266666 Pixel/sec (90, 270 Grad)
up to 948148 Pixel/sec (180 Grad)
o Online Rotate : | Options | |
(in Window-menu) | Rotate +90 <ALT>M |
| Rotate -90 <ALT>N |
˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙
o Online Brighten: | Options | |
(in Window-menu) | Brighten +5% <ALT>( |
| Brighten -5% <ALT>) |

o Bug fixed in loading True-Color-XIMG's
- [2.32]:
o Bug loading VIVID images fixed
o 8 color ordered dithering (3.5 times faster than Floyd-Steinberg)
o English documentation included. [350394 Bytes]
- [2.31]:
o Bug loading TrueColor TIFF's fixed
- [2.30]:
o loads monochrome GIF's with less memory usage than before.
o The buffer-size for loading files can be set in GEMVIEW.INF
with an Editor. The value entered means KILOBYTES!
So, " 32 FileBufferSize"
sets the buffer to 32 kByte (the standard is 8 kByte).
o Auto convert GEM-Metafiles to Rasterimages without display.
Destination-raster-format and actual resolution is used.
Not in HighColor or TrueColor!
o JPEG version 4.0 now included. Loading 2-times faster!
Test-picture: 800 x 600 (87645 bytes), Reference: 8MHz ST
JPEG 4.0: LOAD (2'17") + Dither (0'55") = Sum (3'12")
JPEG 3.0: LOAD (4'29") + Dither (1'08") = Sum (5'37")
o Character size of GEM-View window can be chosen
(Standard font, size: 8 points, 9 points, 10 points)
o New keys supported F1 to F6
F1: white background
F2: grey background
F3: black background
F4: 8 points standard font
F5: 9 points standard font
F6: 10 points standard font
F10: "Break ^B"
o loads VIVID Raytracer images
o loads and saves Enhanced Simplex (ESM) pictures
o loads TIFF-Images with LZW-Compression

They can be used for automatic conversion of a complete directory.
Use the wildcard(s) in the filename in your File Selector Box.
Summary:
'*.*' : All Files.
'*' : All Files without any Extention.
'*.IMG' : All Files with Extention '.IMG'.
'F*.GIF' : All 'GIF'-Files, beginning with 'F'. After the 'F'
any other characters (including 0) are covered.
'F?.IFF' : All 'IFF'-Files, beginning with 'F' but the use of '?'
after the'F' means that exactly one character must follow.
'G???*.*' : All Files, having 'G' followed by 3 or more characters.

o Two new error-propagation dither-algorithms:
"Jarvis-Judice-Ninke" and "Stucki"

o xAcc2 included
o sending pictures using xAcc
o loads (X)IMG much faster
o better IFF and TIFF
