          This  revision  includes fixes for bugs that  crept  into  the 

     previous  upgrade plus adds the following major new additions.  The 

     paragraph  headings in TVINFO.TXT where each of these is  discussed 

     is listed in parenthesis at end of each item below.

          (1) Capability to save pictures not only from RT.BAS, but also 

     from  SLIDESHO  and it's companion TRUSHO was added so pix  can  be  

     saved directly in either full or compressed format. This is  useful 

     particularly in the Automatic + Save mode. [RT, SLIDESHO, TRUSHO]

          (2) Added a new program to create 3D picture files in the SSTV 

     format. Uses "two camera"  approach. Can use  camcorder to  capture 

     double pictures in the field for later reduction to 3D files. Has a 

     limited synthetic 3D capability. [3D]

          (3)  Expanded  TRUSHO  so it covers  the  ATI  TRUCOLOR  card. 

     Changes made may also work with other TRUCOLOR cards.

          (4) Added a "heartbeat" visual cue that can be used in lieu of 

     the tone-tick audio cue.

          (5)  Added a completely new DX and high resolution mode,  Mode 

     96. Users of our system are urged NOT to transmit this mode on SSTV

     frequency 14230 until it is more widely available. [NEW MODE]

          (6) Added a new paragraph, USER ADDED FEATURES, which will  be 

     expanded in future revisions. Ideas for function key use from  KY1S

     and AA7AU to facilitate TXMIT/RECEIVE operation were incorporated.

          (7) Added a fix for some few computers which had  intermittent 

     operation with the transmit function. [VT]

          Please  remember  when  you incorporate the  new  revision  to 

     transfer all of your SYSTEM CONFIGURATION values to the new copy of 

     the programs.

                                                  Have fun,

                                                  Ben Vester, K3BC

	NOTE: Several of our users have reported that there is a ham in
	the W6 call area who seeks out newcomers on 14230 and under va-
	rious pretenses (either he'll help you or vice versa, etc.) gets
	your phone number. You then receive persistent solicitation over
	the phone to buy a commercial product.
