New Improved VPIF

(1 / 1)


For those who don't know, VPIF is a tool which runs on the GPX workstations
near Chris Downend's office.  It will display any PIF or RAD file stored on 
the VAX.

As of 5/2/88 there is a New Improved VPIF:
* faster
* fewer bugs
* more user friendly (you don't need to touch the keyboard anymore after the
  first session)
* new features:
	> supports RAD files
	> supports palettes up to 8 bits deep
	> supports squashed pictures (stretches them vertically)
	> for those files with a lot of cels, it puts out 1 window at a time
	  now and waits for you to hit the middle button before continuing.
	> remembers the last 5 directories you used (from previous sessions)
	  to make directory selection easier
