Fox and Bruce Dawson. It is freely distributable. No charge may be made for it's distribution, except for a nominal media fee. Feel free to distribute and use this library with your programs, along with a notice that the library is 'FreeWare'. ReqLibrary, release 2.2 The req.library is a run time re-entrant library that is designed to make it easier for programmers to use powerful, easy to use requesters for communicating with users. The requester library includes such functions as a color requester, file requester, message display requester and many functions to make the creation of gadgets for your own custom requesters easier. Req.library was written by Colin Fox (of Pyramyd Designs) and Bruce Dawson (of CygnusSoft Software).

It requires a substantial amount of memory to be free in order to convert RGB data into the internal form used on the FrameBuffer. Therefore, you should read the manual section on MAXMEM so as to ensure enough free ram available if you wish to use the FrameBuffer saver. Mimetics has informed as that they will be supplying a new library for our use in the very near future. This library will decrease the size of the saver itself, decrease the amount of memory required by the saver, operate faster, and cure a bug which can potentially lose 220,000 bytes of memory. The memory loss bug is only found if you try to save to the FrameBuffer when there *isn't* enough total memory available to fully save the image to the buffer. If you save an image to the buffer, and get an out of memory message, then you will also have lost the use of 220,000 bytes of memory. If you save an image to the buffer and do see the results on the buffer, then the saver will have exited cleanly and all memory returned. When the new library is supplied to us by Mimetics and correctly integrated, we will place it on the ADPro master disk. If you have a FrameBuffer, check back with us from time to time to inquire as to the status of this saver.
