Hello!
I'm grateful that finally I was able to successfully completed developing
these utilities, which was primarily designed for me, software developers,
and anyone interested using it.

These utilities will convert existing image to self-displaying COM program,
which means that the embedded viewer is internally integrated.

There are two versions come with the package:

* Embedded Viewer Packager for BMP Image
  This version is designed for most users, that will accept Windows Bitmap
  image (RGB encoded) and perform necessary conversion.

* Embedded Viewer Packager for Raw Image
  This version is more for software developer (or programmer) that usually
  programming in graphics mode.

Note that these utilities only support image size at 320x200 and color
depth at 256 only (using VGA mode 13H).

Light image compression is provided whenever possible (using my own
Squeeze-Together(im) compression technology).

To use the utilities:

* PACKBMP <image filename> [/D]

* PACKRAW <image filename> [/D]

The switch /D is to disable image compression manually and is optional.
Use this option when there is negative compression.

Possible applications of these utilities might be
* Logo screen (distributed along with software for software developer)
* Greeting screen to friends
* Others (it's up to you!)

Please see the sample screen that I have included.

Here are my steps taken to design the sample screen:
1) Select a photo as the background (size in 320x200)
2) Add my own text to the photo (using Windows Paint)
3) Decrease the color depth of the image to 256 colors (using Paint Shop Pro)
4) Save the image as Windows Bitmap (RGB encoded) format

Tip: The file size of 320x200x256 Windows Bitmap image is generally
     65078 bytes, and for raw image is always 64768 bytes.

Hope you will benefit from these utilities.
Thank you!
