EGSShow is a viewing program for GIF, JPEG and IFF ILBM files on the EGS window
system. This program is able to read the JPEG format as well as the GIF formats
GIF87a, GIF89a and all future GIF files compatible with both of the above as
well as valid IFF ILBM files, including EHB, HAM6, HAM8 and IFF24. The format
of the file is detected automatically.

EGSShow needs a lot of memory for bigger pictures ( > 640 x 480) and EGS
version 6 or higher. Selecting a lower colour depth than 24 bit for the EGS
default screen will save you lots of memory.

The main difference of version 1.2 to version 1.11 is speed. GIF was sped up by
20%. IFF was sped up by 30%. JPEG was sped up by 45%. There is a new submenu
for the JPEG mode which lets you select various output size scalings. Grayscale
JPEGs now work.
