Needs Kickstart V3.1 (NOT 3.0) & SetPatch 43.x & Pic-Dt 43.x Program information ------------------- akGIF.datatype is a GIF datatype, which supports GIF87a/89a and handles transparency along with tiled images - the latter either as multiple frames (single pictures instead of an animation), 8 bit "mosaic" (if same palette for all tiles) or 24 bit "mosaic" (if different palette for some tiles - this results in a so-called "true-color GIF"). It does support interlaced GIF (note: it reads interlaced GIF, but DataTypes cannot display images progressively - instead only as a single chunk). The same restrictions apply to tiled images. WARNING: if the pic-dt of your OS version does not support alpha channel handling, then always set TRANSTOALPHA=OFF (no ARGB/RGBA) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- You should use the included preferences program for best configuration.
