* ShoWiz combines the features of a display program with those of a slideshow *
* program. This means you can show individual pictures or a whole disk full!  *
* ShoWiz has 23 different ways to display your pictures and it works with ALL *
* resolutions, including Overscan. You can even display Text files, with your *
* choice of colors for the background, text, and shadows. Type "ShoWiz ?" to  *
* see the various options you have. NO SCRIPTS ARE NEEDED to show a disk full *
* of pictures and you can show as many disks as you like as many times as you *
* like. It creates its own script files, but you can set the slideshow up any *
* way you wish by entering the type of wipe, amount of time to display, and   *
* the filename on the command line. ShoWiz will work from Workbench or CLI.   *
* Read the ShoWiz.docs for more details.                                      *

*  There are alot of programs that deal with IFF pictures. Some display single*
* pictures. Others use scripts to display a whole bunch of pictures. All have *
* their place. I just got tired of using one for this and another for that so *
* I decided to make one that did it all. Yes, I know, it's larger than Ushow &*
* most of the slideshows but there are 23 different wipes in this. That works *
* out to only 1K per wipe. Plus the fact that it will display text files. I   *
* tried to make this as stupid proof as possible so if something goes wrong,  *
* you can't say I didn't try!                                                 *
*  ShoWiz allows you to display pictures from Workbench & CLI. Since Workbench*
* doesn't allow as many options I will explain this first. You can use it 3   *
* different ways. If you change the default tool of an icon to ShoWiz and then*
* click on that icon, it will display the picture or text file (as long as the*
* path is correct). If you click on the ShoWiz icon then on a picture icon, it*
* will show the picture. If you just click on the ShoWiz icon it will display *
* all the pictures in that directory and will loop through all the different  *
* wipes for 30 seconds each. The defaults are used when clicking on individual*
* pictures. They are 30 seconds for time and `o' for display.                 *
*                                                                             *
* Now go read PAGE 3.                                                         *

* ShoWiz really shines from CLI. Here you can make it do all kinds of things. *
* First `ShoWiz ?' will show you your different options. You can display pics *
* one by one or by directory. To show a picture you would type `ShoWiz Pic'.  *
* To show an entire directory you would type `ShoWiz Directory'. Now by doing *
* it this way it uses its defaults of 30 seconds & `o' for display. You can   *
* vary this however. When showing directories you could type in the following:*
* `ShoWiz +15 df0: df1: !'. Now this would show all the pictures in df0: and  *
* df1: for 15 seconds each. When showing directories you can't give it the    *
* type of display, it just loops through all of them. The `!' tells ShoWiz to *
* keep showing these pictures over and over again until you hit `ESC' to exit *
* the loop. When showing individual pics you could type `ShoWiz +15 -u Pic1 -f*
* Pic2 +30 -c Pic3'. This would show Pic1 for 15 seconds using the UP display *
* then show Pic2 for 15 seconds using the FADE display then show Pic3 for 30  *
* seconds using the CHECKERBOARD display. If no option is given for the pic   *
* then the setting for the picture before it will be used. You can also use   *
* the `!' to loop through these pictures.                                     *
*                                                                             *
*                                                                             *
* Now go read PAGE 4.                                                         *

*                                                                             *
* Time: Time is set in seconds. Any positive number is acceptable. If for     *
* example you typed `+30', it would display that pic for 30 seconds. If the   *
* number is less than 1, then 1 is used. Just put the `+' in front of the     *
* number to set the time.                                                     *

* Option: This can be any of the following letters preceded by a `-' [abcdefg *
* hijklmopqrstuvwx]. Now HAM & Overscan pictures just won't work with some of *
* these. Don't worry though cause if you try to select one that can't be used,*
* it will use the default. Below is a brief description of the different types*
* of wipes that can be used. Just remember they have to be lowercase letters! *

*  Now to explain how to display text files. If you will notice at the top of *
* each doc file is a header. The first line holds the information about the   *
* screen. ShoWiz reads a file to see if it has the string `Showiz.Textfile'.  *
* If it finds that it will load it on a screen. Best way to create your own is*
* just to edit one of these files. At the end of the first line you will see a*
* bunch of numbers. These are the RGB settings for the Background, then Text, *
* then Shadow colors. For example white would be `15-15-15' and black would be*
* `00-00-00'. Any number between 0 & 15 will work. Red would be `15-00-00' and*
* so on. Try different ones to see which ones you like best.                  *
*                                                                             *
