VIEWAPX2.TTP - by Ivan Dimbleby (C) Recursive Software 1996
 ---------------------------------------------------------

--------------
What it does:
--------------

This tiny utility allows you to view true colour .APX pictures saved by the
popular APEX art package. It works with RGB *and* VGA monitors. On VGA, only
sizes up to 320x240 can be viewed. On RGB you can view sizes up to 640x400.
I only wrote this program for myself so let me know if you want any other
features.

I wrote this program because I use APEX a lot to design graphics in true
colour mode for my own programs. I got fed up having to reload APEX when I
wanted to check what a particular sprite looked like.
It was written to work with .APX files from APEX v2.14. I have absolutely no
idea if the format of these files has changed at all in subsequent versions,
or indeed, if the previous versions had the same file format. Let *me* know
if *you* know will you...

--------------
Instructions:
--------------

Simply install the program as a desktop application with the extension .APX,
and save your desktop. Now just double click on an .APX file to view it.
Couldn't be easier. If the program returns to the desktop without displaying 
a picture, the picture wasn't true colour or was too big to display. Yeah,
I know that's tacky but what do you want - error messages? :-) It's only 906
bytes long for heaven's sake...

Legal bit:

Oh yeah, and I'm not responsible for absolutely anything. Ever. Especially bad
stuff.
