PngOut.dll + PngOut.exe

[mouser]

an awesome png output compressor (available as standalone exe or dll for irfanview 3.97) is out:

takes some time to run but does a fantastic job of creating small full color png files.

(note you could use drag&drop robot to do batch processing with the commandline pngout.exe).

Ah, very nice plugin.  Takes a while, but the compression ratio is worth it.  Thanks for the heads-up mouser.

yeah, thanks for the info - the 'nice review' at http://www.twilightuniverse.com/2003/09/ping/ is worth a read if you need convincing that png is better than gif.

i'm going to run a few tests myself i think.
