PHANTOMWARE SLIDESHOWS VOL.1   Warner Bros. Cartoons          
        
  Thankyou for booting this file and for ordering the disk in the first
place.
  The slideshow is freeware and I want you to spread it as much as
possible (so long as nothing is removed or altered).
  I first had the urge to try doing slideshows about two years ago when
a cousin of mine lent me his Amiga over Christmas. I began piddling about
with DPaint 2 and turned out a reasonable Starship Enterprise and lunar
landscape. I decided to save for my own Amiga (which took AGES) and in
October '92, bought a second hand A500+. I managed to get a cheap copy
of DPaint 3 from a friend and immediately began to work on some new stuff
  I had been buying Amiga magazines for a while and noticed that CU AMIGA
ran an Art Gallery. Three weeks after buying my Amiga I had a picture that
I considered worth submitting and "The Master" was published in the
December issue.
  Although this was extremely pleasing, I still lacked the confidence to
submit anything to a PD library. I mucked around for a few months, still
not really exploiting the potential of DPaint fully, until I came across a
routine to make a slideshow in an AMIGA FORMAT supplement. After compiling
a short show of some of my work, I decided to go ahead and concentrate on a
single subject for my first PD release.
  PHANTOMWARE will be a mainly sci-fi and horror platform as far as slide-
shows go. The only reason I began with Warner Bros. is that I had literally
TONS of source material to work from. I also intend to move into animation
and multimedia when my setup is up to scratch. Future projects I have in
mind include Dr Who, Judge Dredd and Gerry Anderson (which will probably be
a multimedia shareware project).
  The next release should be available in late August (Dr Who) and will be
obtainable directly from me at the address below. The price is £1.50, which
may seem high but the postage and packing will account for 75p. Adding the
disk cost will leave me a very small profit to put towards some extra RAM.
  If anyone would like to write with any comments or suggestions, I'd love
love to hear from you. Please enclose an s.a.e for replies.
  Finally, if anyone has ANY sci-fi or horror photos and magazines to get
rid of, please send 'em! I'd also like to hear from anyone who can help me
with ProTracker. I'm hopeless!
