=====================
by Panya Thanyaprasertkul

What do you want to do with your downloaded image?
You can make it to be an Windows 95 start-up screen!

This program can make your favorite picture to be a Spin Palette BMP (Animating Color BMP).
BUT This program is not like the other program you've  ever seen.
They may only change some byte in BMP file to make palette spin without do anything with picture
or may only place a very simple animation bar at bottom of your picture.
But with this program. You can draw everything on "Spin Area" and freely coloring in spin area.
This program also can preview animation.
No install/uninstall required.
No need other cumbrous runtime DLL!!

1. Open input BMP.
    Input is must be 320x200 or 320x400 pixels 256 colors.
2. Setting up spin area
    With the concept of "Spin Area". First you have to setup area for animating color

I recommend you to run this program in True color or High color environtment.
Otherwise the color maybe display not correctly.
