Roadmap
-------

The COPYING file contains a copy of the GPL described above.

See README.src in the source distribution, or README.bin in the binary
distribution for installation details.

The CHANGES file describes the changes made since the most recent
publicly released version, and ChangeLog describes differences between
all versions, so if you are upgrading from an old version, be sure to
read that.

NB: Documentation files other than COPYING, ChangeLog, the man page
and this README are in the 'doc' subdirectory.


Description
-----------

'zgv' is a viewer which views GIF87a, GIF89a, JPEG/JFIF and
PBM/PGM/PPM files on a standard VGA and most SVGAs, with a full-screen
file selector front-end. It can also be used as a simple command, with
'zgv filename', which bypasses the front-end. There are several
options; check the man page, or try 'zgv -h' for details.

'tnpic', which was formerly part of the zgv distribution, will
probably be re-introduced into the distribution (or released
separately) at a later date. I need to rewrite the JPEG writing
routines to work with the IJG's JPEG library v5 before doing this.


Share and enjoy!
