Hi-Res 5.0, an SDK for Windows that provides for fractal still-image compression and decompression, offers compression ratios from 3-to-1 to 250-to-1; faster decompression rates; smaller file sizes for compressed images, which lets you place more images on a CD-ROM or other storage medium; improved resolution independence, allowing an almost unlimited number of zooming levels; color mapping; and cross-platform support for Windows 3.1, Windows 95, Windows NT, Macs, and the PowerPC. The package is available in two versions: Hi-Res Professional 32 ($8995) and Hi-Res Standard 32 ($2995).
