     This is HVIEW, an new high-resolution shape viewer for
Domark's Flight Sim Toolkit.

     The older VIEW program allowed users to use DOS to quickly see
precisely what their 3-D shapes would look like in the scenario's
DOS environment and pallette.  However, it was limited only to
320x200. HVIEW allows viewing at resolutions of up to 1024x768.

     To use HVIEW, first copy it into the directory containing the
FST scenario and shape files.  Make certain to have the proper
pallette file (*.FCD) in this directory, or the viewed shape is
going to have some pretty funky colors!

     To run HVIEW, use this command line format:

     HVIEW(space)SHAPE.FSD(space)GRAPHICS ARGUMENT

     Examples:

     HVIEW ZERO.FSD A

     This runs HVIEW, showing the ZERO.FSD shape, for an ATI
graphics card

     Please note that there are NO HYPHENS used in HVIEW.
     
     Other GRAPHICS ARGUMENTS:
     
     V:  VESA 640x480 resolution
     S:  Older S3-chipset cards, 640x480.
     S0:  New S3 cards, 640x480.
     S1:  Diamond Stealth 64, 800x600.
     S2:  Diamond Stealth 64, 1024x768.
          (No graphics argument defaults to VGA 320x200)
        
     This utility is provided free of charge by Domark Software
for use with Flight Sim Toolkit.  Please feel free to distribute
it via any medium to all registered users of FST!

     Please keep an eye out for further free upgrades and
utilities for FST, and FST:  WWII.
