Introduction

You have lots of images in your software collection and you want to maintain
them in a comfortable, GUI-based way? Then RTN is the tool you were always
waiting for!

RTN reads images in various file-formats specified by a list (LST-file), scales
the pictures (with correct aspect) to thumbnails and merges them to a 
Contents-Image (TOC-file). In addition file-name and resolution is printed to
the image. ThumbNail is highly configurable, but ready to use.


Features

   +  Easy to use graphical user interface (MUI)
   +  Click on thumbnail to display fullscale picture
   +  Online help
   +  Configuration via Workbench-Tooltypes
   +  Two sophisticated scaling algorithms

   +  Various supported file-formats:
         +  IFF (any !)
         +  BMP
