README.TXT for STYDEMO.ARC.

This group of files contains materials which are copyright 1992
Zocra Technologies.

This LZH file should contain the following files:
  STYDEMO.PRG, STYDEMO.RSC      The STyle demonstration program.
  STYLE.TXT                     The STyle press release/order form.
  WHYSTYLE.TXT                  STyle/STipple comparison.
  STIPPLE.TXT                   The STipple press release/order form.
And the following sample image files:
  WATERFAL.FL1					A monochrome image.
  HOUSE.FL4						A 16 colour image.
  BWLADY.PC1					A 16 colour/grayscale image.
  MANDARIN.FL8					A 256 colour image.
  ANGUS.FL8						A 256 grayscale image.

DEMO NOTES:
This demo includes all of the features of STyle with the following
exceptions:
	Only Load Degas, Neochrome and Fast Load (.FL) work.
	All file saves are disabled.
	The "Render" command places a grid on the resulting image.

Although STYDEMO will not save a file it will allow you to check
out the image save options. The options presented depend upon the
filetype chosen. For example if the image is too large to be saved
in a particular fixed sized format (such as NEO, Degas, TNY, MacPaint,
or MacStartUpScreen) the file save clipping will be displayed and
can be adjusted.

STyle treats colour and grayscale images very differently. If some
of the menu options are disabled it is because they do not apply to 
the image type (colour or gray) currently being displayed. Some
options apply to both colour and grayscale but have different
options for each. For example "Render" has different dialogs for
colour and grayscale.

The on-screen image that appears when a file is loaded is often created
using the fast routine, not the best routine. The 'Render' command
gives complete control over resolution convertions.

Some features which are not obvious include:
  Click and drag on an image to clip.
  Functions keys flip between windows.
  Arrow keys scroll windows.

NOTES ON EXAMPLE FILES:
  WATERFAL	Try saving as MacPaint and MacStartupScreen.
  HOUSE		Try saving as NEO, Degas or TNY.
  BWLADY	STyle will detect that the image contains only grays
            when it is loaded. Select the "Convert to grayscale"
			option which appears during loading.
  MANDARIN	Try rendering a 256 colour image in colour or
			grayscale.
  ANGUS		A project at Zocra Technologies.
