Dinosaur_Hunt   by Richard Schneider Aka Captain60s  1989/08/13 

   Many `vivid' colors were used, in the paintings.
   Paleontologists, ( I feel, not being one) believe that
   no one really knows for sure what colors the Dinosaurs were. 
   The odds of my renditions being the true ones are remote indeed, 
   yet possible, fer sure!

     		                 PURPOSE  
   To show `in barest form,'` The Big Picture.'	Specific detailed
   knowledge of Dinosaurs can be gained by further readings.
   I am aiming at the younger person.  
   The names,  to my knowledge are pronounced correctly.
   A child who cannot read can use the help function 
   for spoken help.
   No illustrations contain scary scenes of dinosaurs 
   devouring eachother or ripping themselves to 
   bloody pieces. Though aimed for the children, the adults 
   also enjoy the drawings and pick up something too.
			   
   The program was written in assembly language and is my first
   on the Amiga.  Beginning Assembly Language programmers might
   find the source code, on source directory,  interesting. 
   Assembly Language is used to  display IFF files,
   to impliment the Cheath file Requestor and also in  
   the speech module.  A WINDOW is also set up and opened and closed.  
			   
   The dinosaurs can be used as Delux Paint (TM) brushes and
   ported.
		   
                     SUGGESTION	
  I would first display the files Backround and Dinosaurs_were
  since they provide definitions used in other parts of the 
  program. 
			
                      	THANKS    
   This program could not have been written without the following:
   "Dinosaurs" by Alan Charig. The file Dinosaurs_were was base on 
   readings from this book.  The illustration was directly copied
   from p. 18.
		   
		   
  The ToolCaddy docs and ToolCaddy  Assembly Language lessons. 
 Documentation on using and understanding the Amiga Oper-
 ating System from assembly is almost non-existent. 
 These 2 excellent products fill this void. 
 The Assempro Machine lang. book provided the major speech module.
		 
 The Christian IFF library (downloaded from PLINK)
 allowed and provided guidance on how to display IFF files 
 from assembly language programs. 
		 
 Of course the ARP libs 1.3 and the CHEATH File Requestor
 (the heart of my program, (also downloaded from PLINK)
 were irreplaceble. 
		 
 Electronic Art's great, (DELUX PAINTII and III) (TM) was used to 
 produce all the paintings. 
		 
 To these folks and their products, I offer my thanks.

PS. The requestor is programmed to default to RAM:
    Just insert this warped disk drive into df0: after power up 
    to use the startup-sequence `execute' file to put the 
    `root directory,  into RAM: for speed. 
		
    I've read in Amiga World that one can arc their files and copy
    the arced file to ram: once in ram: the file may be unarced. 
    This should be faster, as less copies of individual files are made.
    It should be easier on the disk drive (love that `gronking thoough). 
    You might encorporate this into your startup-sequence, not on your 
    original copies though.
