INSTALLATION
------------
- Copy the whole directory anywhere you want and just launch the program
- (AmigaOS4) If the program fails to start, copy .hwp and .ext files to
LIBS:Hollywood/
KNOWN ISSUES
------------
- AmigaOS3 versions of RNOPDF may crash with certain PDF files if used under
WinUAE 4.2.0 or older, or with other emulators using older WinUAE cores,
due to a bug in WinUAE's 68020 emulation.
- PDF files that don't have correct media box setting(s) fail to display their
background colour correctly. This will be fixed in the next Polybios version
