Welcome to NOTHING BUT .GIFS
Thankyou for purchasing NOTHING BUT .GIFS, the first graphics CD from 17 Bit -
The Worlds biggest PD library. On this CD we have brought you over 600 Meg of
the highest quality freely redistributable, copyright free Gif images, along
with over 26 meg of Compressed tools for various formats.
Are you tired of finding poor quality graphics on CD's? 16 colour images,
poorly digitised images, images that don't display properly (usually
squashed horozontally or vertically), Images in formats you can't view,
convert or load into an art package, collections of graphics you have to
spend hours to find the picture you want, finding the same picture in the
same drawer with differant filenames. etc. etc.
At last your prayers are answered. The compilers of this CD have spent
over 6 months putting this collection together, the aim was to produce a
CD that WE want to use, where quantity meets quality.
These graphics were collected from various sources, including private
collections, internet (alt.sys.graphics, Aminet, etc.),etc.
At time of compiling we found only two other Gif CD's easily available,
PD Soft's Gif's Professional and Walnut Creeks Gif's Galore. We did not
take any of the content of this CD directly from the two just mentioned,
any similarity is purely co-incidental.
Please note that when purchasing this CD, you paid for the compiling,
duplication, advertising, packaging, administration and distribution
etc. of this disk. You have NOT paid for the contents. Public Domain
software is free, we have not charged you even a penny for all the
contents.
If you use this disk you are bound by the following terms;
1) The compiler and distributers of this disk take no responsibility
whatsoever for damage to hardware, software or media through use or
misuse of any of the contents of this CD. You de-archive and/or use
files at your own risk.
This CD has been checked for all known viruses, trojans and variants
with the latest versions of the best virus-checkers available and has
been found completely free of infection.
The checkers we used are;
- Virus Workshop 4.6 for the disks before we archived them (stored on
here as .dms and .lha files).
- Virus Checker 6.47 left in the background during compilation.
- Virus Checker used Bootblock.brainfile 1.06 and Bootblock.library
3.1.
2) We also make no guarantee whatsoever that files on this CD will do
what they claim, or what they are intended to do. Again, we have
tested practically everything on this CD (which took a while!), but
there is always a possibility of a rogue file when dealing with this
amount of data.
Please note that all graphics included require at least the AGA chipset,
some will need more than the standard 2 meg to view.
We have made our best effort to ensure that all data included on this CD
is freely distributable (Public Domain) and that it comprises to any
limitations laid down by the copyright holders.
Some files are distributed with text files, you will find these in the
utilities/text directory.
Any political, religious or social views stressed by files on this CD
are not necessarily the opinions of the compiler or distributers.
There is an abbreviations used in the file descriptions;
- LMB, which means Left Mouse Button.
We would love to improve and cater for the needs of our users, so we
need to receive feedback from you - what would you like to see on our
future CD's? What didn't you like about this CD? What did you like
about this CD? How could we have improved it? Do you think CD's
produced by other companies better and if so in what way?
The compilers of this CD can be reached via 17 Bits usual address.
We are interested in receiving your files for future CD's, whether you
have written a program, drawn or traced a picture (objects and pictures
appreciated), written a music module, typed a useful text file, Made a
Demo in Demo Maniac or Video Tracker etc. (data and executable
appreciated), have some useful source-code (in Assembler, Amos, Blitz
Basic etc.), or anything else that may be of interest to others, please
mail them to 17 Bit's address. Company Product demos are also very
welcome. The only rule is the file(s) sent must be freely distributable,
but you may still retain copyright if you so wish. All disks will be
returned, probably containing something similar to what you sent us,
which we hope will be of interest to you.
