WHAT'S NEW SINCE 0.30:

1. Trace play supports.
   Show your friends your best play records! Use F9 to record, F11 to play.
   Try it now!
2. Scanline display option.
   This option uses 800x600 display mode for doubling every dots. It will
   be a bit slower than the preferred 400x300 hardware double pixel mode.
   But if your system happens to have no usable 400x300 display mode, this
   could work as a solution.
3. Alternate keyboard control set.
4. Sound states are put in save game data now.
5. Fixed two bugs that caused Gallop to crash at certain places.

*****Tips
Use "m72 imgfight -vert -qf 1" to start Image Fight in vertical display mode
and set quick-fire on button 1.
Set the gamma value larger than 1 for increasing the display contrast.
Try "-res 640x480" if the default 400x300 or 512x384 display mode is not
applicatable on your video system.
Always use "-ppro" for Pentium-pro and Pentium2 and Celeron systems.
Do not use "-vert" and "-scanlines" at the same time.
