- /* ----- PRELUDE ----- 870618 */
- /* 'IconAssembler' was written sometime in early spring '87 and 'finished' */
- /* (made ready for shipping to Fred Fish) in June. IconAssembler is */
- /* probably the worst name you've ever heard in your life, but with the */
- /* sometimes restricted 'word-supply' ( <<- see what I mean?) of a young */
- /* Swede it's a pretty good description of what the program does. */
- /* It actually 'assembles' IFF-brush image(s) to an existing Workbench Icon*/
- /* (come to think of it -it maybe ought to be called 'IconImageAssembler'?)*/
- /* Yes, big ones too. I myself find it as an extremly helpful tool - OK not*/
- /* extremly, but it's fun. AND it's much easier to define an IconImage in */
- /* a paintprog than in IconEd. */
- /* The program lets you load an Icon (an .info-file) and retrieve new */
- /* image(s) and then save the Icon again. */
- /* THE PROGRAM DOESN'T AFFECT THE TOOLTYPE. */
- /* That is, a Disk-Icon can only be saved as a Disk-Icon later, & NOT as a */
- /* Drawer-Icon nor anything else. The workbench only uses 2 bitplanes so */
- /* any extra bitplanes will be stripped off. Furthermore does AmigaDOS not */
- /* save the images in an encoded format thus making big images take up a */
- /* lot of diskspace. */
- /* The prog doesn't let you take one iconimage and put it in another (Icon)*/
- /* or let you merge iconimages from different icons. (IconEd can do that.) */
- /* */
- /* I've heard that there are some similar programs out there, but I haven't*/
- /* seen any of 'em myself - maybe they're better maybe not. Or maybe they */
- /* are EXPENSIVE! Yap, this is SHAREWARE - read copyright notice below and */
- /* send me $5 - 10 or equevalent in your land's currency (as long as it */
- /* isn't something unexchangeable (nice word) like 1-kilo copperplates from*/
- /* central Africa). It's cheap and would keep a poor guy like me going for */
- /* a while longer. */
- /* Well, anyway this is Stefan signing off. */
- /* BYE, BYE! */
- /* By the way... the word above should be 'vocabulary'. (I looked it up) */

- * BUGS: It has happened that the first byte on the brush/icon image *
- * vanishes. (Should it happen- just leave a blank row at the top)*
- * Perhaps a cleanup problem (Lack of planning, as always) *
- * Others, just crawling all over the place *
