   <H1>Welcome to PicBrowser 1.0b3</H1><BR>
PicBrowser is ideal to view large images. And it doesn't waste RAM.<BR>
<BR>
Just drop any image files on the icon or on an open window.
Command line arguments are accepted, too.
<BR>
You can scroll the contents by dragging with the left mouse button
pressed down.
The right button will give you a popup menu.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<H3>How does it work?</H3>
PicBrowser converts any given image to .paw format, stores it and
updates directly from disk. Images already given in .paw format will be
loaded a lot faster.
<BR>
<BR>
<H3>Tools</H3>
PicBrowser now ships with some tools:<BR>
<BR>
<B>PAWConverter</B> will convert any image to .paw format (Just drag your image onto it).<BR>
<BR>
<B>PAWTranslator</B> lets any program save in .paw format (copy to "/boot/beos/system/add-ons/Translators").<BR>
<BR>
You'll need to press down 'ctrl' when you drag a .paw-image onto an application.<BR> 
<BR>
<BR>
<H3>Shareware</H3>
This program is shareware.
You're obliged to pay <B>$10</B> if you're using it at a regular basis.
