| As a PNG .dll demo VisualPng is finished. More features would only hinder | |
| the program's objective. However, further extensions (like support for other | |
| graphics formats) are in development. To get these, or for pre-compiled | |
| binaries, go to "http://www.schaik.com/png/visualpng.html". | |

| To build: | |
| 1) On the main menu Select "Build|Set Active configuration". | |
| Choose the configuration that corresponds to the library you want to test. | |
| This library must have been built using the libpng MS project located in | |
| the "..\..\mscv" subdirectory. | |
| 2) Select "Build|Clean" | |
| 3) Select "Build|Rebuild All" | |
| 4) After compiling and linking VisualPng will be started to view an image | |
| from the PngSuite directory. Press Ctrl-N (and Ctrl-V) for other images. | |
| To install: | |
| When distributing VisualPng (or a further development) the following options | |
| are available: | |
| 1) Build the program with the configuration "Win32 LIB" and you only need to | |
| include the executable from the ./lib directory in your distribution. | |
| 2) Build the program with the configuration "Win32 DLL" and you need to put | |
| in your distribution the executable from the ./dll directory and the dll's | |
| libpng1.dll, zlib.dll and msvcrt.dll. These need to be in the user's PATH. | |
