+ Readme for J2K-Codec 1.8 (release)
+ Copyright (c) 2004-2006 Alex Saveliev.
+-------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+
+ OVERVIEW
+ --------
+
+ J2K-Codec is a software component, which allows easy integration of
+ the new image compression standard - JPEG 2000 - into your applications.
+
+ This package includes:
+
+ 1. j2k-codec.dll. This DLL must be placed into your application folder.
+
+ Do not place it in any other folder. There are good reasons for that.
+ As Jeff Cogswell summed it up in his "Designing Highly Useable Software":
+
+ "Thus, as I just mentioned, if you're letting the system loader load
+ your libraries for you, the only viable place to put them is in the
+ same directory as the application."
+
+ 2. j2k-control.dll. This is an ActiveX control. Useful in VisualBasic and
+ other languages.
+
+ 3. Documentation in CHM format ('Docs' folder).
+
+ 4. All files required to call J2K-Codec functions from your programs.
+
+ 5. Examples of J2K-Codec usage ('Samples' folder).
+ In C, C++, C#, VisualBasic, VB.NET and Delphi.
+
+ 6. A collection of JPEG2000 test images ('TestImages' folder).
+
+
+ PURCHASE
+ --------
+
+ NOTE: J2K-Codec will function in the demo mode, until you buy a special
+ key to remove all restriction. See the list of demo restrictions below.
+
+ So you are welcome to try this demo version as long as you want.
+ But if you want to use J2K-Codec in any publicly distributed software,
+ you must purchase it and get your personal registration key.
+ After that, you can use J2K-Codec in any number of your own projects.
+
+ The price of J2K-Codec: $49-$149 USD.
+
+ Static Linking is available as a purchasable add-on.
+
+ Visit http://j2k-codec.com/order.html to order the program.
