Introduction
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
WebTV is a viewer program for a fairly recent phenomenon on the World Wide
Web - web cameras.  Web cameras are recorded images published on the web and
updated at regular intervals.  They may show everything from a TV channel or
somebody's living room to the weather in a city in northern Norway.

You can view these images with a regular webbrowser, you can even have it
update the page at regular intervals, but WebTV offers a more specialized
and optimized approach.  Web camera sites are configured in a special
window and viewing one opens a dedicated window, which is sized exactly to
fit the camera image.  Update delay, save directory and other parameters
are easily configured individually for each camera.

Requirements
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
 · AmigaOS 3.0 or higher.
 · A JPG datatype like akJFIF or Prodev-JFIF.
 · MUI 3.8 or higher.
 · An AmiTCP compatible TCP/IP stack (like AmiTCP, Miami or TermiteTCP).

Features
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
 · Configure your list of webcams in a very comfortable MUI GUI.
 · View as many webcams simultanously as memory allows.
 · Image decoding performed by datatypes, view any image format which 
   has a datatype available.
 · Image decoding and network operations are performed asynchronously, so
   the GUI never freezes or shows you a busypointer.
 · Supports HTTP proxies.
 · Supports T/TCP (Transaction TCP) with Miami, for faster sending of HTTP
   requests.
 · Supports Last-Modified/If-Modified-Since HTTP headers so new images are
   only retrieved if they have been updated.
 · Save camera images to a seperate directory for each camera.
 · Supports importing sites from WebCam.
 · Optionally uses the advanced MUI classes Textinput.mcc or
   BetterString.mcc and NList/NListview.mcc if available.
 · Tested thoroughly by an experienced group of betatesters with all
   available debug tools, to ensure troublefree operation.
