                What's New in Version 3.1?
                --------------------------


* Thumbnail Images in File Selector

        Find images quickly and easily even if you can't
        remember their file names.

        See Help menu -> File Selector (or file FSEL.TXT)
        for details.

* Enhanced Text Capabilites

        Text can be added automatically from a command file.

        Try running the "3D Text..." item in the Run menu
        then read the Run menu documentation to learn how it
        works.

* Contest Assistant

        Now that SSTV has entered the mainstream of contests
        and DXpeditions, there is increasing demand for
        built in help for contest logging.

        Try it by picking Contest ... from the Run menu.
        Enter a call and optional comment.  The other person's
        call, a sequence number, and your call are added to
        an image.  This information, along with date and time,
        is saved in a log file.

* SSTV Repeater

        You can now use your SSTV system as a repeater between
        other stations that can hear you but can't hear each
        other.

        See Setup menu descripton for details.

* Automatic Saving / Loading of Locked Images

        Locked images are automatically saved when exiting from
        the program and reloaded the next time.

        See Help menu -> Thumbnails (or file THUMB.TXT) for
        details.

* Adjustable User Interface Colors

        I don't know why anyone would want to change the
        attractive color scheme but several people have asked
        for it.

        See Help menu -> Configuration File (or file CONFIG.TXT)
        for all the details.

* Improved Automatic Fine Tuning (AFT)


                What's New in Version 3?
                ------------------------
                        
* Built-in Paint Program

        Add simple text and graphics without leaving the
        Pasokon TV program.

* 16 Million Colors

        Images are now stored with 16 million colors rather
        than 32768 as in the earlier versions.

* Higher Resolution

        Images are now stored with 640 x 480 resolution
        rather than 320 x 240 as in earlier versions.

* New Screen Layout

        If your display can handle it, you will want to use
        800 x 600 screen resolution.  This allows you to see
        a 640 x 480 image covering about 2/3 of the screen
        area instead of a little 320 x 240 image covering
        only 1/4 of the screen area.

* More SSTV Modes

        Wraase 120 and 180 second.
        Scottie DX.
        NEW High Resolution modes with 480 scan lines instead
                of the usual 240 or 120.  Use the "Hi Rez" mode
                button to pick P3, P5, or P7.

* More File Types

        TIFF    
        JPEG    
        BMP     
        PNG

* On-line Help

        Read the (orange) version 2 manual and read the on-line
        help to find out what is different.

* Expanded Color Printer Support

        Send pictures directly to the most popular types of
        printers including HP DeskJet, Epson Stylus, Canon
        Bubble Jet, and most 9 & 24 pin dot matrix printers.

* 32 Bit Application

        Pasokon TV is now a 32-bit application.  What this means          
        is that we are now taking full advantage of the power
        of '386 (and later) processors rather than treating them
        as ancient 16-bit '286 machines.

        In 32-bit mode, the same programs are smaller and 
        faster.  We can now utilize all the machine's memory
        directly rather than worrying about the old 640 K  
        "conventional" memory limit and going through 
        contortions to access "extended" memory.

        This software will NOT run on a '286 machine.

* General Changes

        Easier operation - Menu items for many items that
        formerly required editing of configuration file.

        The Menu Bar has been rearraged and expanded.

        The "Desk" menu has been renamed "Run" because it is
        used to run external programs.

        The "Make" menu has been renamed "Pattern".

        More image processing functions and improved 3D 
        picture generation.  

* Three Versions of Pasokon TV:

        1. Pasokon TV Classic - uses interface that fits
                inside the computer.

        2. Pasokon TV Lite - uses cheap simple interface that
                connects to a serial port.

        3. EZ SSTV - Reduced functionality demo version.
                Available from
