Compatible with Win95, Win98, NT 4.0, NT 5.0

Thank you for trying jSaver!

 4/8/1999 ----------------------------

Changes:
Modified code so multi-megabyte images would display
properly. They were actually loading just not being
displayed!

Tweaked the palette code a little more so it manages
colors even better when running under Windows NT 4.0
with 256 colors.

Added 2 new image formats! Now jSaver will also display
the Targa (*.tga) and zSoft PCX (*.pcx) formats!

GIF and TIF - The LZW nightmare!

Sorry, I still cannot display GIF or TIF formats! The
code is there and ready to go but I cannot pay Unisys
25 cents for every free copy distributed and 50 cents 
for each registered copy. There is also a $15,000 up 
front charge that I would have to pay them even before
a license contract is signed!


11/29/1998 ----------------------------

Changes:
The method for selecting the picture delay had been
completely re-done. It's now much easier to use.

Delays are in the range of 5 to 100 seconds and from
10 seconds on they increment in counts of 10.

Added a button for user selected background colors. 
I know it's hard to believe but not everyone likes black.
This uses the normal "windows" color selection dialog.

Added a check box for "random" picture displays. This
way you can be suprised!

Changed the method for calculating the aspect ratio. 
This is what allows large pictures to be scaled to display
correctly on your screen.


10/23/1998 ----------------------------

Changes:
The limit of 10 files in the shareware version has been
removed!!!

The palette routines for 256 color machines have been 
totally re-written and now they display correctly.

The image fade (actually disappear) that was reported
by a few users has been corrected.

You can now select  from 30 seconds to 2 1/2 minutes
for each picture to be displayed. 


--------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, you've got a bunch of pictures you'd like to display 
but you don't want to have to manually set thru them one 
at a time.  Well, jSaver will let you display all of 
your pictures one at a time automatically! You just 
select the folder and the amount of time you want each 
picture displayed and jSaver takes over from there!

Now you can scan in all those vacation, holiday, children 
and pet pictures and really show them off! 

JSaver will take care of the color correction and make 
sure the picture can be fully displayed (without that 
unsightly tearing or stretching some other program do) 
on your screen!

JSaver handles palettes correctly and will scale down 
any image so it will be completely shown.

The current price for jSaver is $10.00 for a copy 
emailed to you. If your email provider doesn't handle 
binary files well let us know and we'll tell you how 
to get your copy with your browser or ftp client.

To have a diskette sent to you please include and 
additional $5.00 for shipping and handling.



Thanks again!

++++++++++++++++++++++ GIF IMAGES +++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Currently, jSaver DOES NOT show gif images. Once we have obtained 
a license agreement with Unisys the gif display feature will be 
enabled. Everyone purchasing jSaver will receive the updated version 
when it's available at no additional charge.

If you have some gif images that you want to show then you must use 
a program such as PaintShop Pro (http://www.jasc.com) to convert 
them to the BMP or JPEG formats.
