Documentation for Advent v1.00 - ©1997 Electrus Software (8/11/97)
==================================================================

Sorry theres no fancy guide file with this release, I only had
time to write this brief text file!.

[Disclaimer! - Read me First!]
==============================
This version of Advent is FreeWare.  This means you may
freely copy it, give it away, etc (without making a profit) but
if you do decide to use it on your system you have to e-mail us
via our address which is shown at the bottom of this file.  You
are not allowed to modify the executable and the archive must 
not be changed.  Advent has been tested for a while on my own
computer and has been found to be stable in everyday use. 
However the author is not responsible for any loss of data or any
damage to software or hardware that may result directly or 
indirectly from the use of this program.

[Introduction - What does it do?]
=================================
Advent is a simple little program which sits in your
WBStartup drawer and is ran each time your computer boots.  It
displays an advent calendar on your Workbench screen which 
automatically `opens' the door for that day, and then shuts the
window after a specified delay.  Each day starting from the 1st
December until the 24th December has a picture shown to represent
that day.

[Requirements - What do I need?]
================================
An Amiga :), Workbench 2.0 or greater and the reqtools
library installed!

[Installation]
==============
Double click on the Install-Advent script, the executable
will be copied to your WBStartup and graphics file to your S:
directory.

[Can I change any program settings?]
====================================
Not really, except you can change the programs DELAY tooltype.
This sets how long the window should stay open on each boot before
closing automatically.  The value for DELAY is not in seconds.  
The default DELAY setting is 400, which means the window will stay 
open for approximately 9-10 seconds.  Therefore a DELAY setting of
800 would make the window stay opeen for about 18-20 seconds, and 
so on.

[What happens if its not December and I run the program?]
=========================================================
Nothing!, it won't crash, etc.  You'll just get a nice little
message informing you that you should wait until December until
you run the program!.

[Are there any Bugs?]
=====================
I hope not!, but if there is then please report them to me
via one of the methods shown at the end of this file.

[Will you improve the program?]
===============================
Hopefully!, the second release will have sound and will allow
you to use your own graphics, etc.

[Do you need any help with the program?]
========================================
Yes!, not with the actual program but with new graphics, etc.
If anyone out there is an Icon Artist (in MagicWB or NewIcons)
then please contact me :), I need someone to create some icons for
this program and a forthcoming bigger project (contact me for more
details!).

[How can I contact the Author?]
===============================
	You can e-mail me at : electrus_sw@geocities.com
                       OR : tornado@dcandy.demon.co.uk

[Have you written any other software?]
======================================
Yes, we have written a few doors for the MAXs BBS System as
well as quite a few Workbench Utilitys, you can find more details
(and download copies) from our WebPage.  You can also download
copies directly from the Aminet.
