- -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 woul 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 mos 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 th 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 DCV 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.
