General notes from the author:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- DFV is shareware, and is not-registered.  PLEASE register this great
  software if you use it.  For registration information, just run DFV
  with no command-line parameters (only distributed with registered
  versions).

- Make sure that the GETYN program is in the current directory or in the
  path when you run the DEMO.BAT program.

- The new DOS4GW.EXE will not work with the CImage v3.11 (another
product).  It will not allow some users to access VESA modes.  Make
sure to use the DOS4GW.EXE that came with CImage.

- All output images (except GIF) are stored as uncompressed 24-bit
images, and PCX files are stored as RLE compressed 24-bit.

- See the documentation for a list of planned future updates.

- All the files for CMorph should be located in the same directory,
and that directory should be placed in your PATH.  However, I
understand that another path entry can sometimes make your path too
long for DOS to handle, so, see the file CMORPH.DOC to get some
information on avoiding this problem.

- In the non-registered version, you get an animation compiler and a
player.  This combination will only play-back monochrome animations.
This is NOT a limitation of CMorph, though.  The output images (with
the exception of GIF files) are all written out in 24-bit true-color
format.  The color information is there, but it just gets stripped
out during the compilation process by ANIMCOMP.  So if you have a
different program that can take a set of image files, and build an
animation file out of it, then you can see these morphs in color. 
One such utility is called DTA (Dave's targa animator).  This utility
is great for creating autodesk FLIc files.

- CMorph used to require the -M parameter to specify the mesh file
name.  This is no longer necessary.  You can just type the mesh file
name without prefixing it with '-M'.

- When warping only, the final image that gets saved is the destination
  image.  You may want to keep this in mind when generating warp images
  and/or animations.

- Raytech BBS (located in Scottland) is no longer allowed to accept reg-
  istrations for CMorph.

Common problems and solutions:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There only seem to be two problems that people run across when using
CMorph.  I added automatic detection for the first, leaving only one.

Out of memory errors -- CMorph comes with built-in Virtual Memory. 
If you experience memory problems, PLEASE read the section in the
documentation on "Virtual Memory."

Regitration:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Extra features only available in the Registered/Pro versions:

        1.  Complete FLI support to generate FLI/FLC/FLX/FLH/FLT files
            right from withing CMorph.  These animation files cover
            the spectrum from 8-bit to 24-bit full-color animations.

        2.  A separate program that also has builds the entire suite
            of FLIc files.

        3.  An image convertion utility that will convert to and from
            IPI/BMP/PCX/TGA/IMG/GIF.

        4.  More cool demos!

To learn how to register, look in the CMORPH.DOC file at the end, in
the section titled:  "HOW TO REGISTER."

Two ways to register on-line with your credit card:
