Thanks for all the feedback on WinGIF.  There has been enough
response to make want to keep working on it and I have quite a few
enhancements planned.  Keep those registrations comming.

WinGIF Version 1.4 has some significant enhancements over release 1.0. 
There are several bug fixes as well.  The biggest changes are in
dithering and color control.  I've added Gamma correction commands to
compensate for diferences in screen displays.
  The dither commands can now take gamma into consideration which can
make a very big improvement in dithering quality.  The windows VGA
palette dosen't seem to match the colors that it claims so I've added
color compensation which is specifically for generating 16 color images
for viewing under Windows with a VGA screen.  For previewing images on
VGA there is also a quick 8 color dither.
  There is a work-around for the upside-down display bug in the SVGA
drivers.  Scrolling now functions while decoding and dithering. RLE
files save to the right size.
  WinGIF will autoscroll while you select a clipbox and you can now
move the selection box by holding SHIFT or the right button before
pressing the left button to drag the box.
  You can reopen or delete the current file with new File Menu
commands. 
  There is alse a basic slide show capability.  WinGIF will cycle
through a list of selected images.


Known Problems:

  The 8514a driver has a problem with large images in monochrome or 
4 bit formats.  Depending on the image you may be able to display and
print as long as you don't move the viewport from the origin.  If this
occurs it hangs windows and you need to reboot.  

If you use the HPPCL printer drivers with the Full page print option
the driver sometimes over stretches the image and then clips it down.
If you get this try sizing the image up or down a litle and try again.

Registraton:

With respect to the Shareware registration.  There is no reminder box
just your conscience to encourage registration.  If the registration
response is good then I will have incentive to keep improving the
program.  I'm sorry that enhancements have been so slow in comming,
like all of you I am very busy and am only doing this for fun. I
really do appreciate the registrations.  It is great to know that
some of you like what I've done.  It has and will continue to
encourage me to improve WinGIF.  I regret that I am not presently set
up to send out disks, aditional information, or to respond to all of your
letters.  You need to obtain updates from Bulletin boards, friends or
ShareWare distributors.  The registration fee only leagalizes your
use of the program.

 
Your comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated.
