Version 0.90 of WinGIF has quite a few bug fixes and several enhancments. The biggest addition is the ability to save GIF files. I also enhanced the dithering algorithm with an option to darken the shadow areas in the picture. Depending on the image the little change can make a big difference. You can also select a different 16 color palette. It can improve a dither but usually I prefer the primary palette. The full window function now zooms to full screen but the window only zoom is still available by pressing Alt F2. Since preliminary copies of WinGif have started to float around the BBS's I'm going ahead and making this version available as ShareWare. It should replace any previous versions. There are a few features of WinGif that can probably use some explaination. You can use a mouse to "drag" a rectangle for cliping to the clipboard or triming in WinGif. WinGif works primarily from Windows Device Indepentant Bitmaps stored in memory. Memory in real mode may not be sufficient for many WinGif functions. The "Memory Image" option can be used to enable or disable memory bitmaps. If "Memory Image" is enabled WinGif will also create a device bitmap in memory for faster updating to the screen. This can be disabled to conserve memory by setting "Memory DIBs Only". Note that some of the SVGA device drivers have bugs in the new Windows 3.0 call to display a DIB. If you get upside down or garbled images you may need to leave this option off. With respect to the Shareware registration. There is no reminder box just your conscience to encourage registration. If the reistration response is good then I will have incentive to keep improving the program. I'm sorry that enhancements have been so slow in comming my plate is very full and I am only doing this for fun. Comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated.
