prometheus truecolor 0.71 (10/3/98)
===================================



introduction
------------
PTC is a truecolor graphics system suitable for high speed games, demos, 
and other graphical applications. It is unlike any other truecolor system 
because it provides virtual display modes with  ultra fast pixel format 
conversion. Best of all... PTC is free for non-commercial use :)



whats new
---------
1. djgpp support works again! :)
2. fixed the problem with demo programs missing header/image files
3. increased the process priority while running fullscreen directx (faster)
4. fixed the file_id.diz to fit inside 47 horizontal characters ;)



getting started
---------------
Check out the base example programs in "examples/base". These example programs
are very basic and easy to understand. Use the batch files provided to compile
the examples.

Note: if you are using Visual C++ and you would like to link the PTC library
files in with a project in the Visual C++ IDE see the "problems" section in the
documentation for instructions on how to correctly link in PTC.
