	o  Windows BMP files (4, 8 and 24 bit, uncompressed)

and writing the following formats:

	o  GIF'87
	o  Windows BMP files (8 and 24 bit, uncompressed)


ColorView will work with:
	o  4 bit, 16 color standard VGA boards (poor color reproduction)
	o  8 bit, 256 color display boards 
	o  15 bit, 32768 color display boards
	o  24 bit color display boards
	o  Microsoft Windows 3.0 and 3.10
	o  4 MB or more of physical memory.

ColorView provides: 
	o  Floyd-Steinberg dithering, 
	o  Heckbert color reduction,
	o  one pass Fast Quantization color reduction
	o  Gamma correction, 
	o  Hue,

Two versions of ColorView are available: ColorView and ColorView '386.
The '386 version of ColorView uses Intel 80386 (and higher) instruction set 
to optimize decompression. As the result, it is twice as fast as the plain, 
vanilla ColorView in displaying JPEG images. 

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A 80386 CPU BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO RUN COLORVIEW '386!
