The Designer V1.53 (C) Ian OConnor 1994 This program is copyright (C) Ian OConnor 1994. You may distribute the demo version as freely as you like as long as you do not charge more than a reasonable fee to do so. You may not, however, change any of the files supplied , other than to compress them, and any distribution must include them all in full. You may not distribute the full registered version of the Designer at all. The demo version has 'Demonstration Version' written in the about window. This software is provided "AS IS", without warranty of any kind, either expressed or implied. The author is not responsible for any damage or loss of data due to use of this program, these are solely the users concern. Registered users can upgrade their programs using the demo version by clicking on an extra button in the main window which does not appear on registered versions. See Designer.Guide, upgrading, for more info. Here is a list of all the files in the distribution, use the Install utility to copy the ones you wish to your Designer drawer. You only need the Producer you require and the Designer itself so floppy use is possible. To install on floppy use the install utility to copy The Designer, the Guide and one Producer of your choice. Install : Installer utility, run to install. Readme : This file. Designer : The program, you probably want this. Designer.Guide : Help file, not necessary but helpful. AsmProducer : Program required to produce Asm source. CProducer : Program required to produce C source.

SuperBitMapDemo : SuperBitMap window you can draw on. BOOPSIDemo : BOOPSI object demo. All the files must be in the same drawer as the Designer, except the demos and the library. A preferences file will be stored on your boot disk if you Save preferences, when run from this boot disk in future these preferences will be loaded. You will probably want to do this to get rid of the About Window on running. The demo version is virtually identical to the registered version but the Save option on the Designer itself is partially disabled. To obtain the full version send 25 pounds sterling to this address : Ian OConnor 3 Askerton Close Nine Elms Swindon Wiltshire SN5 9XB UK I will then send you a full version of the designer as soon as possible. This will be approximately the same as the demo version with the save fully enabled. The money must be in a cheque or money order in sterling and drawable on a UK bank, please allow some time for delivery. The cost includes postage and packing, airmail if outside UK. Please state your address clearly. Their is no time limit on the demo, you may use it as much as you like, but you may not edit any of the files or re-distribute them in any form other than the origonal distribution. EuroCheques in sterling are fine. To produce the full demos source you cannot use the Generate option in the Demo Designer because this saves the current data and will not save it all .You must use the producers from the Shell or Workbench with the filenames as parameters or selected respectively. If you find any bugs or have any comments to make then send them to me at the above address or email ijo1000@cus.cam.ac.uk , this is only valid until summer 1995. I will not be available over christmas or easter holidays. I hope you enjoy using this program and think it worthwhile Ian OConnor V1.0 -First public release as demo.

(Pascal shared message port code did not work previously, sorry.) -Can now add EditHooks, DisplayHooks etc. to some gadgets. -Producers tidied up a bit. -Demos changed because of space considerations, MenuDemo and ScalingDemo now produce their own Main files, see V1.1.
