+Prerequisits:
+
+- libgd (I used 1.81 for testing), which needs libpng and libz.
+    Get it from http://www.boutell.com/gd/
+- apache, perl, netscape (I don't know, if other browsers can display
+    server pushed images)
+
+The PNG driver in Raster is able to generate PNG-Images.
+
+To display this png file continuously in a web page, follow these instructions:
+Copy the sample png.html to an appropriate place under your htdocs.
+Copy the sample nph-png perl script into your cgi-bin directory, and adjust
+png.html to contain this directory.
+Adjust nph-png to contain the path/filename of the outputfile (s. -o option
+in README.Raster or 'lcd4linux -h').
+Start 'lcd4linux -o /path/filename.png'.
+
+If you are on a slow connection to your webserver you might also adjust the
+$DELAY in nph-png or the tick/tack in lcd4linux.conf.
+
+Note: depending on your webservers configuration, you must rename nph-png to
+   nph-png.pl or npg-png.cgi.
