Introduction
------------
This NBA will allow you to incoporate 16/256/3200 or 640 mode pictures
into your own HyperStudio stacks.
Using View32
------------
To use View32, you must create a button from within HyperStudio. For
the Button Action, select New Button Action.
If View32 is in the proper folder, "v32" will appear in the "Names:"
list. Otherwise, click on the "Disk Libraries..." button, and go to
the directory that View32 resides in, and double click on the file
"v32".
Select the "v32" line under the "Names:" list. Then click on the "Use
NBA" button, and a window will appear.
To select a file, click on the "Select..." button. Double click on the
file you would like the button to display, and View32 will display the
picture. The pop-up menu allows you to select the picture delay.
"Force key" will display the picture until a key is pressed. The other
selections will display the picture for a certain amount of time, and
then continue. A keypress will also continue.
Click on the "Okay" button when everything is correct. The "Cancel"
button will restore the parameters to the original setting.
During runtime, View32 will simply display the picture, and return to
the card. Any connection or transistion can be used in conjunction
with View32.
View32 Features
---------------
View32 supports 16, 256 and 3200 color and 640 mode pictures. It
supports the following filetypes:
PIC Raw data 16,256 color or 640 mode pictures.
PNT Apple Preferred Format, 16, 256, 3200 color or 640 mode.
PNT DreamWorld Preferred Format, 16, 256, 3200 or 640.
View32 Errata
------------
DreamWorld Preferred Format (DPF) uses LZW for optimal compression.
DreamVoir is a ShareWare program from DreamWorld that save in DPF.
Using DPF will save blocks on your disks, if space is a problem.
Currently, View32 is not compatible with the Video Overlay Card support
is being worked on, and hopefully, it will be available soon.
Support for the French APP 3200 (3201) could be added, if people desire
it.
