Hello Jensen-Folks!
===================

******************************************************************************
     Please read this README carefully before using my ported software!!!
******************************************************************************

This is a README-File for the following files uploaded by Stephan Kanthak
to ftp.azstarnet.com on 18th January 1996:

	gif-jensen.tgz			;own SVGALib-based fast GIF87-viewer
	ls-color.tgz
	mpeg_play-jensen.tgz		;SVGALib-based mpeg_play
	pov.2.2-jensen.tgz		;SVGALib-based version of POV-Ray
	svgalib.1.2.10-jensen.tgz
	svgatext.1.0-jensen.tgz
	workbone-alpha.tgz
	xinit.gz			;accelerates startup time of X
	zgv.2.7-jensen.tgz

Please note, that this software is BETA, sometimes even ALPHA, because I
had only time to do fast hacks. The only thing which seems to be more or less
completely ported is SVGALib 1.2.10 (except vgagl which is unportable to
Jensen in my opinion). To everyone who wants to compile programs with my
SVGALib: try to get at least libc 0.35.3, otherwise your programs will
always crash (by the way, I feel not responsible for any damage to your
machine when using my software ports).
All software packages should be depacked from the root directory of your
linux system.
The mpeg-player does only understand the following command line:

	mpeg_play -dither gray256 <mpeg-file>.

SVGALib must be configured to S3! Remove all (!) old versions of SVGALib
or at least its configuration files and static libraries. Otherwise you
will probably watch unpredictable behaviour of your system when starting
my software.
POV-Ray does __no__ clipping when being in display mode, so do not
raytrace pictures with larger resolutions than 640x480. Of course you
can add option +V on command line to raytrace larger pictures without
viewing (this povray has a new sqrt-function and is approximately
two times faster than normally!!!!).
Type 'SVGATextMode -s' to get an overview of all possible text modes
(most of them do not work correctly!!)

Have fun with these software packages,
Stephan
