                                                        Copenhagen - August 11. 2000

    DiamondBOX is a 24 bit layer based Photo Retouching editor. It's inspired by
photogenics, and I started working on it after finally giving up hopes of ever seeing
new releases of PGS. Yes, I have noticed PGS4... DiamondBOX has been in development
for almost four years, but this is the first public release. I Guess I should've
called it "DiamondBOX 2000", but then everybody would think it was for PC's.

    It's not at all the most intuitive system in the world, but it does what I want
it to, and runs w/out any Enforcer hits on my own system. It's done in C++ as a way
of solving a practical problem while at the same time familiarizing myself with the
OO approach.

    If you want the plugin API, drop me a line, and let's see what happens. Also, if
you'd like a 040/060 compiled version, we can talk about it. This reduces the size of
the executable by ~1 Kb, but I haven't run any benchmarks on it to check the speed
increase (if any).

  - Need to have/know:
====================================================================================

  - OS3.0+

  - CGFX 2+

  - 68020+

  - 8+ Mb RAM

  - Make sure you have a GFX board, and run DiamondBOX on a 16+ bit public screen.
    Default is Workbench. Set name of PubScreen in icon.

  - DiamondBOX eats loads of RAM - the more the better!!

  - Install by dearchiving into any Drawer of your choice.

  - Please read thru the tutorial in the guide!!! Learning curve a little steap.
