-- Version History:
1.0 HP Scanning Gallery 1bit/sample & 4bit/sample
1.1 corrects problem with grayscale with 4bit/sample images

1.3 corrects problem with HP Graphics Gallery TIFF display
(no Bits/sample field or Thresholding field.)
1.4 Adds support for SuperVGA cards and 8-bit grayscale TIFF
This is a simple TIFF file reader program that uses
either EGA or VGA graphics for screen display. If
a VGA is present you can use the /g switch following
the TIFF filename to specify a gray-scaled display.
The SuperVGA cards supported are:
-- Orchid Technology VGA's such as the Designer VGA and Prodesigner Plus.
(Tseng Labs based VGA chipsets will work with the Orchid driver)
(640x480 by 256 and 800x600 by 256 both require 512k VGA)
-- Paradise based VGA chipsets.
(640x480 by 256 requires 512k ram VGA)
Use the /h option to reduce the image size by 1/2 in
both vertical and horizontal directions.
Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!
This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.
But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
