FirePic V1.00F
--------------

Description
-----------
FirePic is a picture loader/viewer/saver for the Psion 3/3a/Workabout
that offers a few extra features over other similar programs.
 
Firstly, it can load and save multiple file formats by the use of 
plug-in DYLs (currently supplied DYLs for PIC and PCX formats).

Secondly, these DYLs can support good dithering of images from multi
colours down to the black/grey/white of the Psion screen.

Installation
------------
You should have expanded this ZIP file using the -d option to preserve
the directory structure. Copy the contents of the APP and DYL 
directories to a disk on your Psion.
Install the icon on the system screen using Psion-I (or the equivalent
on non-English language machines.

Usage
-----
Run the program from its Icon. You will initially see the program logo.
All options are chosen from the menu bar.

Tip
---
If you want to import large 256 colour PCX files on to the psion,
rather than copying the files across to local Psion drives and having
FirePic load them from there, you can use a program such as RCOM to
make PC drives visible to the Psion and have FirePic load them directly
from the Psion drive (saving a lot of disk space).
If you have PsiWin you can still do this, however, you will need to 
edit the psionprc.ini file to remove a flag and make the PC drives
visible to the Psion - see the PsiWin help file for details.
