--- PNG or Die - version 0.9.1 ---

	PNG or Die is a tool that uses multiple PNG file compressors to compress PNG files. The goal
	is to get the smallest file size no matter what the cost.

	PNG or Die is provided for free.
	Do not trust anyone who tries to sell PNG or Die.
	See https://sundee.neocities.org/ for updates and other programs.

	This program is for Windows only. Tested on Windows 7 only.
	Linux version is planned.
	Mac version never.


--- Usage ---

	Drag and drop PNG images into the window.

	Press [Space] or [Enter] to open the folder where the compressed files go.
	Press [Esc] or [Backspace] to clear completed files from the screen.

	IMPORTANT: PNG or Die does not replace the original file. The compressed files will be placed
	in the /output/ folder, you will have to replace the original files yourself.

	TIP: You can often lower the filesize even more by using PNG or Die on an already compressed
	image again. I will automate this some day.

	You can drop more images into the window whenever you want, they will be added to the queue.

	* WIN *  Shows up after the smallest file. There may be multiple winners, but only one of the
	         files is kept.
	-------  Shows up after files that are smaller than the winner.
	+++++++  Shows up after the smallest file in situations where the filesize was not reduced
	         compared to the source file's size.
	ERROR    Shows up when there was something wrong with the file. For example some of the
	         compressors do not support images with 16-bit colors.


--- Known problems ---

	Some of the compressors pause for reasons that I do not understand, which causes the displayed
	times to be completely nonsensical. They all run on different threads but even different
	compressors will sometimes conflict with and block one another. The problem seems to be in the
	compressors themselves so I can't do anything about it.


--- Other notes/trivia ---

	'stats.data' simply contains some numbers, the program uses it to keep track of which
	compressor creates the smallest filesizes. You can see the results at the top of the screen.
	You can delete stats.data if you want, but it will be re-created every time the program runs
	and the stats will reset.

	"Unique win" means that the compressor was the only one who got the best file size, and every
	other compressor got a worse result.

	PNG or Die uses more threads depending on how many cores your CPU has, but tries to leave 2
	cores unused so your computer doesn't become laggy: max(1, number_of_cores - 2)

	This program was written in plain C.

	None of the compressors were made by me.
