- -INTRODUCTION-
-
- I am uploading the following text files to this area so that the
- information contained within can be put to good use. If you are a
- programmer who finds this information useful and you wish to create a
- program based on the concepts discussed, PLEASE give me
- credit within your software program. I would certainly enjoy receiving
- a copy of any program you create using these concepts/ideas.
-
- I did NOT include UUencoded files of the image(s) becuase I did NOT want
- to upset anyone in this group by uploading large binary files. If you
- would like to recieve the ALREADY CONVERTED froggie.dctv image discussed in
- Chapter 1, e-mail me and I'll send you the file -or- call the local BBS
- I use most often.. "ICON" (702) 646-3631 and download the DCTVpost.lha
- archive. (once logged on, enter "F", then "FI" at the files prompt to enter
- the search menu). I am not able to upload the images to an FTP site at the
- moment, if you can obtain the images (from me or the BBS) and uplaod them
- to an FTP site.. it may make it easier for everyone to get to them.
-
- All text/documents and information contained within is (c) copyright
- 1996 Joey McDonald. You may distribute these documents FREELY via any means
- possible as long as you do not charge a fee for the information/documents
- and do not alter them in ANY way.
-
- About the author:
-
- I am not a programmer. I'm an "idea" man ;) In other words, most of the
- time I don't know what the heck I'm talking about :) BUT, this time I
- think I have discovered something of interest (at least to DCTV owners).
- I discovered the methods discussed within this text via unorthodox methods
- (to say the least). I am offering them as "food for thought" and
- "speculation".. hoping that a clever programmer can indeed put these ideas
- to use, correcting my mistakes and adding his/her own ideas along the way.
- I will update this POST if any software development occurs, or any
- new information concerning DCTV is offered.
-
- If you do embark on a software project based on these ideas.. be sure
- to e-mail me and I will add the information to these documents.
-
- Enjoy! And please feel free to e-mail me your responses, additions and
- corrections. Any technical data/info concerning DCTV would also
- be welcome.
