TWISTED MAGIC WORKBENCH DOCUMENTATION IN HTML FORMAT A twisted idea and d-zign by Korneel Ketelslegers 1. Introduction. ---------------- I have noticed that, due to the internet and the WWW browsers, the HTML format is becoming popular on Amiga. Well, I didn't want to leg behind so, I started playing with the idea of creating a HTML document for Twisted Magic Workbench. It just seemed a nice service for any possible user of that package. Well, the results of a day of `hard' work are visible in this addition to the Twisted Magic Workbench package. (If you don't know what that package is, then have a look on the aminet in pix/mwb... You'll find it there named "TwistedMagicWB.lha".) I have tested the HTML file with AWeb (the best browser around) and it worked 100%. I hope you will not experience any problems with other browsers or HTML readers. 2. Installation --------------- Just copy the contents of the 'Documents' drawer to the documents drawer in the Twisted Magic Workbench package, change the 'Standardtool' of the 'Twisted Magic Workbench' icon to your WWW browser or HTML reader and you're ready to rock! 3. How did I create the document? --------------------------------- I found a homepage writer called Magic Web Maker. I didn't quite like it when I saw it. Indeed, it is a cool idea to make such a proggie. The only thing is that it opens on the workbench screen (and not on an own screen) and that, well, I don't find it very user friendly... But who am I to say all this. Well, I wrote it manually then in 100% HTML source code using PolyEd 2.29 by Robert Brandner. I loaded the patterns in ADPro 2.5.1 scaled them and saved them as GIF. Due to this you'll need a GIF datatype active, or else you won't see those cool preview images of the patterns. (The colours aren't really what they should be, but you'll get the idea.) 4. Some more bollocks. ---------------------- You may be wondering why I have created just a plain ASCII text of this readme file, instead of a guide or something. Simply because it would be stupid to make an Amigaguide file together with a HTML document. If I created an Amigaguide I'd have to make a HTML doc too so, I chose the middle option, compatible on EVERY machine: a simple ASCII text file. For all you HTML lovers out there, there also is a HTML doc out for `Twisted Magic Workbench Addendum' (another package of mine). You'll normally find that one in the same directory as this one 8). Be see'n ya! 5. Disclaimer ------------- 1. I did not design the images. I have merely taken the initiative to draw them in DPaint 4.6 AGA & PPaint 6.1 and including them in this document. They all come from the book "Abenteuer mit unmögliche Figuren" by Bruno Ernst. Published and copyright ©1987 by TACO. 2. The images 'MagicWB.gif' and 'Signature.gif' were not created by me. I have taken them from the preferences editor of MUI 3.3 by Stefan Stuntz. The image 'MagicCopperIcon.gif' was taken from the 'Magic Copper' icon, thus not created by me. 3. THIS PACKAGE IS FREELY DISTRIBUTABLE. NO FEE WHATSHOWEVER MAY BE CHARGED FOR THIS PACKAGE. THIS PACKAGE IS NOT MADE TO DO ANYTHING, BUT IF IT DOES SOMETHING IT SURELY DOES IT BETTER THAN ANY OTHER PACKAGE 8). I AM NOT TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE IF ANY LOSS OF DATA OCCURED DUE TO INSTALLING OR USING THIS PACKAGE SO INCREDIBLY TWISTED THAT IT'S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO IMAGINE. NOR AM I TO BLAME FOR POSSIBLE HARDWARE FAILURE DUE TO THIS PACKAGE, WHICH OFFCOURSE ISN'T POSSIBLE IF YOU USE THIS PACKAGE CORRECTLY. DON'T BE SO LAME TO CHANGE ANYTHING IN THIS PACKAGE, NOR TO BE SO TWISTED AS TO INCLUDE A VIRUS. IF THERE ARE INCOMPLETE PACKEGES IN CIRCULATION, IT WILL DEFINATELY NOT BE BECAUSE OF ME. I SHALL SPREAD THIS PACKAGE AS I MADE IT. I CAN GUARANTEE THAT THE PACKAGE WAS 100% COMPLETE WHEN RELEASED. I DO THANK YOU FOR READING THIS. BE SEE'N YA.
