BLITZ2 - By Loki^SD 1999 . DESCRIPTION ~~~~~~~~~~~ NewIconsBlitz`s purpose is to allow Blitz programmers the ability to directly access the newicon.library to display NewIcon and Standard Amiga icons in an easy and friendly way. The beauty behind accessing the newicon.library directly is that your application`s user doesn`t have to be running the `NewIcons' program to see the NewIcons. And NIB handles icons in an object orientated way. To save hastle and confusion. NIB (newicon.library) can be used for all manner of things, from simply displaying icons in a window, to using it as a simple but extremely effective way of loading auto screen-remapped Graphical User Interface elements. Because of the speed of chunk image data remapping, the newicon.library is perfect for such things. REQUIREMENTS ~~~~~~~~~~~~ NIB Requires: BlitzBasic2.1+ (Well duh :)) newicon.library1 (Within BlitzLibs:AmigaLibs/ And remade DefLibs.) Your Executables will require to run: icon.library (Standard Commodore) newicon.library (For newicons [Version 4+ perferably]) Not too much to ask? I`m not 100% sure from the NI documents if the newicon.library is distributable with your applications or not. But I still advise you to take it up with the author: Eric Sauvageau: merlin@linux.tc3net.com ----------------------------------------------------------------- (C) Loki/SDSoftware (Robert Hutchinson) 17/08/1999 ................. : :.......... :..: : : : .......: : : : ..... :.....................: : : : : : ...... :............:....: : : : : ... : : :.......: : : : : :... : : : .........................: : : : : : :....... :..: : : : : : : .................................: : : : : :.............................. :.:...... : : · .s^D ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 476 301 36.7% 28-Apr-99 04:30:24 +newicon.library_README! 536 270 49.6% 20-Apr-99 03:35:18 +newicon.library1 1258 210 83.3% 17-Aug-99 03:45:12 +NIB_ExampleNIB.BB2.xtra 1258 211 83.2% 17-Aug-99 03:45:40 +NIB_ExampleSTD.BB2.xtra 6201 1598 74.2% 17-Aug-99 03:43:22 +NIB_Include.ASC 5324 1551 70.8% 17-Aug-99 03:36:02 +NIB_Include.BB2 1258 172 86.3% 17-Aug-99 03:36:02 +NIB_Include.BB2.xtra 3817 1617 57.6% 17-Aug-99 03:44:32 +NIB_ExampleGTS.ASC 3719 1601 56.9% 17-Aug-99 03:44:48 +NIB_ExampleGTS_STD.ASC 2305 1019 55.7% 17-Aug-99 03:45:18 +NIB_ExampleNIB.ASC 2194 1004 54.2% 17-Aug-99 03:45:46 +NIB_ExampleSTD.ASC 2073 949 54.2% 17-Aug-99 03:46:18 +NIB_ExampleTCHK.ASC 1258 212 83.1% 17-Aug-99 03:44:20 +NIB_ExampleGTS.BB2.xtra 1258 172 86.3% 17-Aug-99 03:46:14 +NIB_ExampleTCHK.BB2.xtra 28996 8902 69.2% 17-Aug-99 03:43:10 +NIB.guide 1432 977 31.7% 11-Apr-99 20:36:44 +NIB.guide.info 4248 1238 70.8% 17-Aug-99 03:46:46 +NIB1_10.readme 3642 1592 56.2% 17-Aug-99 03:44:20 +NIB_ExampleGTS.BB2 3544 1577 55.5% 17-Aug-99 03:44:46 +NIB_ExampleGTS_STD.BB2 1258 213 83.0% 17-Aug-99 03:44:46 +NIB_ExampleGTS_STD.BB2.xtra 2205 1001 54.6% 17-Aug-99 03:45:12 +NIB_ExampleNIB.BB2 2094 989 52.7% 17-Aug-99 03:45:40 +NIB_ExampleSTD.BB2 1957 925 52.7% 17-Aug-99 03:46:14 +NIB_ExampleTCHK.BB2 -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 82311 28301 65.6% 17-Aug-99 18:54:04 23 files
