SUMMARY
=======
The available open file formats in BitEdit are dependent on the filters listed
in the WIN.INI file.
MORE INFORMATION
================
The following is a list of file formats that BitEdit can open without the aid of
graphics filters added by other applications:
DIB Microsoft Windows DIB
RDI Microsoft RIFF DIB
PCX PC Paintbrush
GIF CompuServe GIF
PIC Apple Macintosh PICT
TGA Truevision
AVI AVI (First Frame)
The list of open file formats on page 5-2 in the Video for Windows "User's Guide"
and in Video for Windows Help is misleading. BitEdit supports other graphic file
formats only if graphic filters have been installed by another application and
added to the [MS Graphic Import Filters] section of the WIN.INI file.
The following file formats are supported provided that Windows graphic filters
have been installed for these formats.
PLT AutoCad Import
CGM Computer Graphics Metafile
WPG DrawPerfect
EPS Encapsulated PostScript
HGL HP Graphic Language
DRW Micrografx Designer Plus/Draw
WMF Microsoft Windows Metafile
TIF Tagged Image File Format
NOTE: The Video for Windows software does not include filters for these file
formats.
WORKAROUND
==========
To work around this problem, install an application that adds the desired
Windows graphic filters, and rename the MMTOOLS.INI file in the Windows
directory. This allows BitEdit to rebuild the list of available graphic formats
in the MMTOOLS.INI file.
