This is only a demo version of the shareware edition of VideoEasel.
The full version includes:
- The full VideoEasel guide, coming with a huge number of
experiments to perform, about 450K.
- More brushes and more pictures.
- More ARexx scripts, for example to convert a VideoEasel
animation into an IFF-ANIM movie.
- The XLIFE source files which are no longer included in
this edition to keep the archive small.
- Display drivers for Picasso96 and CyberGraphics that are
up to five times faster than the native display drivers
included in this package. This demo release will only work
on native Amiga screen modes, the RTG support files are
included in the full edition.

There's no upgrade package from 1.5x to 1.60 this time because just too
much changed. Sorry!

About VideoEasel:
A fast and flexible, program-able and expandable cellular automata machine,
including Conway's LIFE plus over 70 (SEVENTY!) other applications of
cellular automata, ready to use and collected from various sources
(Scientific American alias Spektrum der Wissenschaft, Cellular Automata
Machines by Toffoli & Margolus and other..).
The program is extremly flexible, own algorithms can be written in CAMRexx
or - even better - in (preferably) Assembler or C.
A demo version of the guide is included, to make you curious!

the proper video driver automatically.

not support RTG yet.

environment.

touched.

crashes when rebuilding the window.

but no CGFX driver is included, though. (Left for the next upgrade)
