+About:
+This is a realtime texture enhancer library with hi-resolution texture
+pack support for Glide64 (http://glide64.emuxhaven.net). Traditional and
+non-traditional techniques have been used to achieve speed and high image
+quality even on a 9 year old 3Dfx Voodoo2.
+
+Although the 3Dfx Glide3x texture format naming conventions are used, the
+library can be expanded for generic use.
+
+Supported:
+OS: 32bit Linux and MS Windows
+Enhancers: Hq4x, Hq2x, Hq2xS, Lq2x, Lq2xS, Super2xSai, x2
+Filters: Smooth (1,2,3,4), Sharp (1,2)
+Compressors: FXT1, S3TC
+Input formats: GR_TEXFMT_ALPHA_8,
+ GR_TEXFMT_RGB_565,
+ GR_TEXFMT_ARGB_1555,
+ GR_TEXFMT_ARGB_4444,
+ GR_TEXFMT_ARGB_8888,
+ GR_TEXFMT_ALPHA_INTENSITY_44,
+ GR_TEXFMT_ALPHA_INTENSITY_88
+Output formats: Same as input unless compression or hires packs are used.
+Hires texture packs: Rice format (Jabo and GlideHQ format coming later)
+
+Acknowledgments:
+I hope you enjoy GlideHQ (texture enhancer library for Glide64). Greatest
+thanks to Gonetz for making this happen in his busy time. We've rushed
+everything to share the eye-candy with all of you N64 emulation fans. I
+would also like to thank a great friend of mine, Daniel Borca for providing
+the texture compression code, Maxim Stepin (hq2x 4x), and Derek Liauw Kie Fa
+(2xSaI) for the filtering engines, Rice for his N64 graphics plugin source
+code, and Mudlord for the hq2xS lq2xS code. GlideHQ also uses the boost C++
+libraries, zlib general purpose compression library, and the Portable Network
+Graphics library. Thanks to all the developers for making them available. And
+special thanks to the Glide64 beta testing crew. Without their feedbacks
+this library would not have seen daylight. Thank you all.
+
+The source code for GlideHQ is released in hopes that it will be improved.
+I know the coding is not on par after so much late night caffeine boosts.
+If you have suggestions or modifications, please feel free to post them on
+the Glide64 forum at emuxhaven.
+
+Porting the library to other platforms should not be so hard. The coding is
+done with cross platform compatibility in mind and will build with GCC and
+GNU make. Currently supported are 32bit Linux and MS Windows.
+
+If you are looking for driver updates for your 3Dfx Interactive Inc. gfx
+card, grab them from the forums at http://www.3dfxzone.it/enboard/
+Unbelievable as it seems, drivers are still being updated after 6 years
+from 3Dfx's demise.
+
+I know N64 rules, anyone up for PSX? :))
