Version note:

In the first "official" ADFA art package, we included a simple ANSi viewer.
In this package we have again included a viewer, but this time with added and
updated features. With each preceeding ADFA art pack, we will update and add
features to this file viewer, and strive to fix any bugs.

In this version we have managed to add the following features:

- View VGAs
NB: We have decided to code the original VGAs into exectuable files
for ease of viewing.
- Updated and enhanced the user interface
- Added a "fade-in, fade-out" welcome screen
- Selectable file directory and mask
- Changeable speed whilst viewing an ANSi
- Added an optional 80*50 instead of standard 80*25 for viewing ANSi.

Last minute bugs:

As always, there are bugs, and unfortunately we were blessed with a few for
this version.

- "Australia picture" which displays after exiting interferes with various
standard ASCii characters. This basically means a few ASCii characters
may appear a bit "differently" to what you might expect. :) Yes yes, we
will work on fixing this!
- ANSi files are restricted to 8 pages at 80x25, 4 pages at 80x50. Very
annoying but will be fixed!
- A non-existant file directory *will* in fact select, but will contain
no files. An "invalid directory" message will be displayed... next version!

We were also on the verge of including a .MOD player, but due to a slight
technical hiccup at the last minute, we were forced to remove the option. But
rest assured, the next version WILL include a .MOD player! So

Credits:

The viewer has been programmed in ASM by RedBeard whilst all ANSi work has
been drawn by Side Effect.

Later for now, and enjoy!
