 ***************** NEWS FLASH *****************

 V43.27 (23.02.97)  : - added second descriptor file "JFIF-PS" to allow
                        recognition of files written by Photoshop 4.0
                        (strange file layout - please complain about there)
                        (-> Wulfraed Dennis Lee Bieber)
                      - there's now a global BestModeID() patch available
                        as Aminet:util/sys/ModeP.lha
                      - re-introduced "wm32 magic fix"
                      - __inline'd HAM code also, now
                      - there _possibly_ were "memory losses": under
                        low memory conditions there might even more memory
                        have disappeared, since setjmp'ing of the JFIF
                        sources did cause some high level allocations not
                        to be delocated - this mainly did concern the
                        non-V43 modes
                      - gfx mode selection now a little bit more
                        AGA sensitive, ModeP patch still recommended, though
                      - added some notes to the docs
                      - most stable version so far

 Program information
 -------------------
 akJFIF.datatype is a new JPEG datatype, which is based on the
 latest IJG JFIF sources V6a.

 So it does support progressive JPEG and all the other things
 introduced with V6a (note: it reads progressive JPEG, but DataTypes
 cannot display images progressively - instead only as a single chunk).

 With V39-V42 picture.datatype it produces 256 color palette-based
 (with either none, floyd-steinberg or ordered dithering) or HAM6/8
 output, with Ralph Schmidt's picture.datatype V43 as well optionally
 24 Bit output may be done. Forced Greyscale output also is supported.

 You must use the included preferences program for best configuration.

 See program archive for copyright and distribution information.
