PDHFIC 3.1
----------

Ever wanted to convert images from your Amiga over to a Spectrum (or even an
emulator)?  This program lets you do just that.

PDHFIC converts any format of Datatypes images or 256x192 PPM files
into ZX Spectrum SCR, TAP, +3DOS and other formats.

It will rescale Datatypes images, add dithering if requested, and can be run
from CLI or Workbench.

Example pictures can be found at http://www.unsatisfactorysoftware.co.uk/pdhfic/


Changes from previous release
-----------------------------

Version 3.1 (19.07.2008)

-----------

* OS4 NATIVE VERSION made possible by PortablE.  There is no 68k compile of this
release.

* Changed the Datatypes loading code to be 24-bit - this gives cleaner images as
24-bit images will no longer be dithered down to 256 colours.

* extscale no longer required, scaling now being done by picture.datatype

* Fixed the Use Screen menu item

* Fixed errors that display when converting the clipboard contents.

* Fixed a bug which caused a crash when the Display... menu items were picked.

* Updated all email addresses etc.

* Removed ARexx port (hopefully temporary, due to lack of ARexx module for
PortablE)

* Removed intelligent filtering (as yet unknown problem causing ASL to crash)

* Minor problem still remaining: display of values on the Information requester
are wrong.
