LATEST BUILD INFO:
BETA RELEASE: 1.1.02

VIEW EXPLAINED:

This standalone PopNote Extension utility (VIEW.EXE) is 
designed to display graphic images. VIEW is a tiny 
stand alone image viewer that can also be called from 
PopNote (or a standard shortcut).  If you desire View 
to run and automatically display a special picture, 
rename the picture file to "default.jpg" and place it 
in the same folder with PopNote (and view.exe). That 
picture will be automatically displayed when VIEW is 
launched from the PicViewer submenu choice under 
PopNotes PopToys menu. Otherwise, if View is launched 
from a shortcut, it opens with a blank Window but has a 
built in picture browser reached from the File Menu's 
"Open a Picture" sub menu.

VIEW can also accept a "command tail parameter" vi a 
shortcut's parameter line or from the RUN window. 
Example: "VIEW.EXE JOE.JPG" (less quotes) will cause 
VIEW to run and display JOE.JPG

If you attempt to run VIEW from PopNote's "Pic Viewer" 
menu choice under "PopToys" and VIEW.EXE does not exist 
or is not in the same folder as PopNote, an error 
message to that effect will be displayed.
 
A new PopNote FTP extension utility facilitates the 
ability of PopNote to allow the exchange and or 
transfer of files (including binary types) between 
users.  In addition, FTP_PN is designed such that if a 
picture file is sent with either the ".JPG" or ".GIF" 
extension, the FTP utility will automatically open the 
PopNote VIEW utility at the destinations site and 
display the transmitted picture.

The current release of view is limited to displaying 
complete pictures at or under 800x600 pixels. More 
accurately, pictures in excess of 800x600 will only 
have (x)800 by (y)600 pixels displayed with the 
remainder being truncated off to the right and bottom 
of View's screen. As time permits, I plan to embellish 
this and add additional features with future releases. 


BUG REPORTS:

Every effort is made to insure each release of a 
PopNote Extension has passed muster with my proof of 
performance testing. However, as the complexity of 
single author development projects increase, it is 
practically impossible to guaranteed that some bugs 
will not slip through to a public releases. In that 
regard it is my pledge to make bug fixes and or 
maintenance releases available as soon as possible.
Therefore, any information relative to new releases 
will be published in pnbnbug.txt which is available on 
the web 24/7 vi PopNotes Help Menu.
