þ 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.

þ 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.

þ 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

þ 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!
