Introduction
------------
Megumi is a fast and cute image viewer for RiscOS 3.5 or higher. She was
especially designed to handle graphic formats often used to encode Anime
pictures. She is also capable of displaying animated image formats.

For maximum speed, the image decompression routines were implemented in
hand-written ARMcode. The whole decoding is multitasking and Megumi uses
fade-in effects to support interlaced formats .


The Artwork
-----------
The character 'Megumi' was created by Lark. He has drawn all illustrations
exclusively for this application.


Future Improvements
-------------------
I'm currently thinking about the following improvements:

- MSL/MMS animation format
- PIC2 image format
- Sony PSX TIM image format
  
If you are missing some features and expect them to be included in the
next version, you have to tell me. I can't read your mind.
