- Updating / Installation:
- ────────────────────────
-
- If you use an older version, I suggest strongly that you unzip this archive
- into a new directory instead of copying the new files over the old ones!
-
- | NOTE THAT THE ORIGINAL ARCHIVE HAS BEEN PACKED USING DIRECTORY INFOR-
- | MATIONS! THUS YOU SHOULD USE "PKUNZIP -D ANIVGA12.ZIP C:\ANIVGA12\"
- | (OR WHATEVER PATH IS SUITABLE FOR YOU) TO INSTALL IT!
- | IF YOU OMITTED THE "-D" SWITCH, REDO THE INSTALLATION NOW!
-
- After that, make sure TPC.EXE is on your path and just start MAKE.BAT to
- compile the units and examples (read the starting section of ANIVGA.DOC
- for more information, if necessary).
-
- If you are updating from a former version (or just curious..), then run
- WHATSNEW.EXE and read CHANGES.TXT.
-
-
- Reaching me -- and you!:
- ────────────────────────
- My normal Internet & Bitnet addresses remain valid, but are subject to change
- sometime in 1993:
-
- Internet: S_ROHRBACHER@IRAVCL.IRA.UKA.DE
- Bitnet : UKB8@DKAUNI2.BITNET (aka UKB8@IBM3090.RZ.UNI-KARLSRUHE.DE)
- FIDO : 2:241/7451.7
- SubNet : kai.rohrbacher@logo.ka.sub.org
-
- (Note that due to the German putsch in FIDONet, you won't be able to reach
- me at the 2:241/7451.7 address if you are writing from outside Germany!
- If you don't have any other connection than FIDO, the only way to get
- through will probably be a crash-mail at 2:241/7451 (+49-7251-87289) ).
-
- If you are one of those pitiable guys without e-mail access, you can reach me
- by snail-mail, too:
- Kai Rohrbacher Banking account:
- Talstrasse 24 account# 5.355.494
- 76689 Karlsdorf-Neuthard BLZ# 660 908 00
- Germany bank Badische Beamtenbank,
- Karlsruhe/Germany
-
- Until now, I tried to answer every mail that reached me. However, a few mails
- bounced. So if you don't get an answer after a _reasonable_ amount of time
- (say 2 weeks), try again and supply enough address information for a reply!
-
-
- Money, a forward glance and some "no"'s:
- ────────────────────────────────────────
- As you may have noticed, I mentioned my bank account in the last paragraph,
- so we are going to talk a few words about money...
- No, ANIVGA is still freeware in this version, although I can't gurantee that
- for future versions -- just as I can't guarantee that there will be any
- further versions *at all*!
- No, that's not because I'm running out of ideas (quite the opposite is
- true!!!), but maintaining and enhancing ANIVGA takes a lot of time, presumably
- more time then you might think now. Besides that, answering all your questions,
- suggestions and comments takes its toll, too -- especially because I'm paying
- for mail on my own! As I'm both short in time and money, I have seriously con-
- sidered to let die ANIVGA as a freeware project, sell it to a local software
- company or do any further developments only for my own without publishing new
- versions. I didn't. Instead, I'm asking you for a small fee (I suggest equi-
- valent to $15..$30) to support further development of ANIVGA. (If you can't
- transfer directly, then go to your local post office and get an international
- postal money order -or mail cash in your national currency). -- Oh yes, and
- don't forget to add your email-address!
- No, this is no blackmail -- I just can't answer hundreds (!) of mails, paying
- for all of them with _my_ time and money, I hope you understand that! (BTW: til
- the day, I answered _all_and_every_ mail of you that reached me and *I* am
- willing to continue that!)
-
- Thank you - and now have fun using ANIVGA V1.2!
-
- -> start MAKE.BAT
- -> run WHATSNEW.EXE
- -> run the EXAMPL*.EXE's
- -> look into ANIVGA.TUT & ANIVGA.DOC
