- [This is a copy of the document I received from Carolyn Scheppner along
- with the disk. Any errors that have occured in the process of typing it
- in are mine... You can create a demo disk by cloning a working AmigaBasic
- disk, deleting the basicdemos and tfiles directories, and overlaying
- whats left with the contents of this directory via a command of the
- form "copy AmigaLibDisk27:ABdemos df1: all" Fred Fish 28-Jun-86]

- Enclosed is a disk containing my AmigaBasic demos. For distribution,
- I removed AmigaBasic from the disk and replaced it with an icon:
-
- ----------------
- < <
- \ NOTICE! \
- > >
- ----------------
- CopyAmigaBasicHere
-
- The disk is 67% full. There are seven sample screens on the disk which
- are referred to by the programs.
-
- The disk contains:
-
- BasicDemos Directory:
-
- NewConvertFd ------ Creates .bmaps from fd files, prepending an "x"
- to any system function name that conflicts with
- an AmigaBasic keyword.
-
- BitPlanes --------- Finds addresses of and writes directly to the
- bitplanes of the screen's bitmap.
-
-
- LibDemos directory:
-
- AboutBmaps -------- Short tutorial on the creation and use of bmaps.
- (Basic listing)
-
- LoadILBM-SaveACBM - Loads and displays an IFF ILBM pic such as those
- created with GraphiCraft, DPaint or Images.
- Demos color cycling if a GraphiCraft CCRT chunk
- is found. Optionally saves the screen as an
- ACBM (Amiga Contiguous BitMap) file. An ACBM
- file can be loaded more quickly by Basic.
-
- LoadACBM ---------- Loads and displays an ACBM pic file.
-
- SaveILBM ---------- Creates a demo screen and saves it as an ILBM
- file, readable by GraphiCraft, DPaint, and Images.
-

- graphic printer.
