AISSview 0.20
-------------

AISSview is a viewer for Martin 'mason' Merz toolbar images (AISS). This
version of AISSview needs AISS 4.12 to be installed. With no or older
versions of AISS it is still usable for the creation of new toolbar buttons
in USER MODE (see TOOLTYPEs).

TOOLTYPE
--------
Introduced with 0.18 is the new TOOLTYPE value MODE, which can be set to
USER or VIEW. The VIEW mode starts AISSview in the usual viewer mode, the
USER mode starts directly into the "create user button" mode. The TOOLTYPE
for PORTNAME is not used atm.

CLI argument template
---------------------

All TOOLTYPE arguments can now be set by starting through CLI as well:

MODE/K, TD=TEMPDIR/S, DELTD=DELETETEMPONEXIT/S, AU=AMIUPDATE/S, PN=PORTNAME/K.

For further information please refer to Dave Norris' original readme.
The archive name is intentionally 'AISSviewer', so Daves original archive
remains untouched. The source code for AISSview 0.20 is uploaded
separately.
