Fractastic: The fractal generator. Tutorial: A quick visual tutorial to whet your appetite and give you a few ideas. Credits: Called every time you execute the generator (once you get tired of this, you can remove it from the Fractastic script (see below)), contains my address, basic instructions, and a few moans. Font Reader: A font reading program I threw in to fill some space. Font Reader Docs: Docs for the font reader (suprisingly enough). Lister: A disk cataloguing program I threw in as a space filler. Lister Docs The docs for lister. Directories: Examples: A set of example files stored as information. Source_Code: The source code for the generator, the credits, and the tutorial. You'll need AMOS Pro for both, and the CRAFT expansion for the generator. ComPacPics: The compacted pictures used for the tutorial. Texts: The data for the tutorial, credits, and help files. Libs: The AMOS Pro system libraries. Technical Problems: I hope there aren't too many of these. I got all the programs happily running on an A500 (WB 1.3) and an A1200 (WB 3.0), so they should work for most Amigas. Possible problems: Make sure everything is assigned to where it should be - especially C and Libs (probably on your Workbench disk). Make sure C (where ever it is) contains the following files: Assign, EndCli, Run, Setmap, and that Libs contains the Diskfont.library if you're using the font reader. I can't think of any other problems off hand, so if weird things start happening, contact me (my address is in the Credits file). Note for other AMOS Pro users: To get a decent workbench exec file for run only programs: By the way I'm writing this assuming the reader isn't in the least bit technically minded (rather like me - I'm a firm believer in the 'if it doesn't work ring Richard (an unbelievably techie friend of mine) method'). Follow the instructions in the AMOS Pro manuel about copying your System disc and which files to delete from the APSystem directory. You can safely delete The entire C directory S: startup-sequence AMOSPro_Compiler_config (if it's there) The entire Fonts directory '' '' L '' '' '' devs '' Interpreter_config.amos Compiler_config.amos (if it's there) Some of the Libs; you'll have to find out which ones, I'm not sure what they all do. APSytem: Any extensions not called in the list in the AMOS Pro interpreter config program. All compiler files (if you have the pro compiler), UNLESS you have used any commands from the compiler's manuel, in which case, you must leave AMOSPro_Compiler.lib. All editor and moniter files. Def_compiled & Def_Icon. APCmp (if present) All together, this should free plenty of disk space. Remember, these deletes don't apply to disks to be run independantly, and any files deleted from C, L and Devs MUST be on your workbench disk, and appropriatly assigned (they are all present and assigned to workbench by default in ALL versions I have worked with (1.3, 2.0 and 3.0). Next, create a project icon (copy the Def_Icon.info file from your APSystem folder to your disc and rename it 'myfilename.info'. Go into your favorite text editor and create a file called 'myfilename' (the same as 'myfilename' in the previous step without the .info part). Write in this file the line AMOSPro your_source_code_file_name_&_path [e.g: AMOSPro Source_Code/Fractastic.amos] Save this file Go back to workbench and select the file you just created, then info / information (depending on your workbench version). Enter the default tool as :c/IconX. Go back to your own disc and create a directory called c . Place in this the file IconX (this should be in the c directory of your Workbench disc). You should now have a workbench executable file. Disclaimer ---------- No liability is accepted for the contents of these files.
