Anim3D    1.4    Plays anims written in special language

Anim3D is my first Amiga program longer than a few dozen lines of code and
was mainly to teach myself how to program a 'real' application for the Amiga.
Basically it plays vector movies that are written in a special programming
language that I designed.

The original idea was:
"Wouldn't it be neat if vector demos could be created and played using a
standard program, use the screenmode that you wanted, were smoother on
faster machines and multitasked properly?"
After all, we can't impress PC users from fast animation 'cos they have
faster processors, but we can beat them by making something totally
impossible through Windows   ;-)

Anim3D is a real-time vector movie player for Workbench 3 machines. It has
three main features which I think most Amiga software (and demos) should
have nowadays:


1)  It is extremely friendly to the OS and multitasks properly; I've
    played animations whilst downloading files on the modem and been
    playing a tracker module so I think I can safely say this  :-)

2)  Animations are played at the SAME speed whatever the machine is...
    slower machines just have a lower frame update rate. This works fine
    because the display is double-buffered (as you'd expect) so there are
    no half drawn screens to be seen.

3)  It can use any of the display modes available on the machine;
    the same image is displayed on the screen whatever the resolution.
    This allows those lucky A4000/040 owners to display anims in mega hi-res
    while running at the same frame rate that an A1200 might run in lo-res.

It also makes use of a special dithering method that I worked out which
gives the appearance of more shades of each colour without slowing screen
rendering down. This does however require more chip memory than normal.

I have designed a language for creating these animations and some simple
demo anims have been included to give you an idea of what it can do. Take a
look at the animation files by all means (they are only ASCII text), but I
wouldn't try writing your own without any documentation!

BluffTitler    1.0    A Realtime 3D Titling System

BluffTitler is Realtime 3D Titling program. It allows you to animate 3D
texts in all sorts of 3D effects using a simple graphical user interface.

You no longer have to use difficult,expensive and slow 3D rendering software
to make those stunning 3D leaders. All you need is BluffTitler !!

And because BluffTitler works in realtime, you can immediately start
recording your leader to video . No more heavy disk operations, memory
problems and single frame recorders : simply start BluffTitler and press
the record button on your video !

Since computer power is limited you can't expect broadcast quality from a
realtime titler, but the result is perfectly suitable for
-home video's
-semi-professional productions
-cable networks
-computer presentations

DepackIFF    1.7    Depacks file packed by ByteRun algorithm

This program lets you depack any IFF ILBM file with BODY chunk
crunched by standard ByteRun algorithm which is always used by all
Amiga graphics programs (like DPaint, Brilliance, ADPro, Real) while
saving image, brushes and so on. I decided to code this, because
ByteRun is not so effective as XPK, LhA (but not always!). If you
want  to repack images, you will reach the best results only when you
pack pure image data, and this is why this program was born and
should be useful for all the people wanting save own disk space, eg. BBS
SYSOPs (more images and less bytes!).

HyperANSI    1.08    ANSI character & graphics editor


HyperANSI is a program which allows you to easily create ANSI
graphics with minimum effort.

   NOTE: Unlike previous releases of HyperANSI, this version has
         no "crippled"  features, and  no longer  displays  that
         annoying delay screen.

LastAlert2    2.1    Will show the last alert or guru

Are you tired of always having troubles with finding your pen and paper just
to write down the last guru you got. Now this problem is solved because I
have written a small and quick program that will show the last alert or guru
there have been. If you don't get the point of what this program can be used
to then try to read the rest of this user manual.

PicMerge    2.1    Merges two same-sized BitMaps

This little program merges two same-sized BitMaps by using logical
operators. All Amiga-Viewmodes are available, except of the HAM-
and 8HAM-Mode. That means, you can work with pictures with up to
256 colors.

The idea for this program was born as I was in trouble. How can I
merge two animations (one on the left, one on the right) in one?
So I done a simple hack to 'OR' the BitMaps. After adding a little
GUI-Interface I decided to make PicMerge public.
