PNG is an international attempt to replace Compuserve's GIF file
 format, which is being subject to Unisys' LZW patents, by a better
 and patent-claim free graphics file format. Its development
 is coordinated by some american software developers, and it's
 the new dedicated WCO graphics standard for the WWW.

 Of course no one can say "stop using GIF, now only PNG counts",
 since there are still thousands of GIF images floating around on
 CD-ROMs, some programs still cannot handle PNG, some people
 simply don't want to replace GIF with PNG...

 But if you want to support small software developers, like most
 of the companies, shareware and freeware software developers on
 the Amiga are, there is need to help them avoiding any unnecessary
 difficulties - remember why you are prefering an alternative system
 like the Amiga...

 Included in this archive you find, besides some URLs and background
 information, a list of Amiga software currently supporting PNG - perhaps
 it is not complete, but it is just to show, that there's something
 happening.
