Welcome to DustV2.45 !

 What's very new:
  1. blackhole-effect
  2. displacement-maps
  3. external polygon-reducer for Lightwave
  4. local metamorphosis which produces very good results, see the tutorial
  5. The object-format of the German program "MaxonCinema4D" is
     supported now

 Quick Installation:
  -extract the DEMO-keyfile from the lha-archieve in the s-drawer
  -copy Dust.key and .dustrc s:
  -set the help-paths:
    "set(helpdir,<path>)" e.g. "set(helpdir,hd1:dust/DustHelp)"
    "set(helpdir2,<path>)"
    "saveconfig"

 Bug-reports etc. are welcome (EMail).

 In the unregistered version some commands are disabled, get registered
 and you will get another keyfile.
 (Your personal data will be saved into this file, so dont spread it...)

 Affected commands: see README2

 Now have fun !

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
 There are some additional programs/packages which belong to the
 Dust-project, e.g. reducer, makeHaze, Mesh2TDDD, DustMD, ...
 That means: If you register for Dust you will become registered
 for all this programs automatically.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

How to register:

 Send the fee mentioned below to the author, and try to answer the following
 questions:

  1. Whats your recent version of Dust ?
  2. Whats your configuration (processor, OS, etc.) ?
  3. Have you any suggestions to improve the program ?

 You have two ways to receive Dust:

  1. via EMail:
      the price is $25/25DM cash
     (You will receive your personal keyfile (uuencoded).)
  2. via normal Mail:
      the price is $30/30DM cash or
                   $25/25DM + 5 DM German stamps
     (You will receive a disk which contains the recent version and
     your personal keyfile.)

 NOTES: 1. I don't accept any cheques, money orders, etc !
           (I never had any problems getting/sending money enclosed
            in a simple envelope.)
        2. I prefer "Deutschmarks" - it's cheaper for you and makes
           me no trouble.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
 The standard version of Dust requires 68030+ and FPU (68881+).
 (It's possible to generate special versions, of course.
  Simply send me a letter describing your hardware and $5/5 DM + postage
  because I have to recompile about 100 files.)
 (68040 and 68060 are NOT supported directly! :( )
