- Hi there!
-
- This archive that you have just unpacked contains a whole bunch of code
- I wrote for recreational purposes between the years of 1986 and 1992. Some
- of the code explores algorithm ideas (for example "fill.c" which explores
- algorithms for drawing fast, filled parabolic splines); Some are useful
- functions which any Amiga programmer might want to have in a standard
- link library (such as SectRect and CountNodes); Some of the programs were
- attempts to reverse engineer mysterious features of other computers
- (See hint.c -- an attempt to duplicate HyperCard's "hint bit" system
- without actually looking to see how they really did it).
-
- Some of the code is well-commented, while some is not. Many of the
- asm files were downcoded from C and contain the original C code as
- comments, so that sould help. Note that this is only a small part of
- what I have, I picked things that I thought would be generally useful
- and easy to figure out.
-
- As far as actually compiling the programs and figuring out how to
- link them, that's something you'll have to figure out for yourself.
- Most of the programs are stand-alone, and shouldn't be too much trouble.
- Also, beware that some of the programs have #asm block in them, dating
- back to the bad old days when I was still using embedded assembly (these
- were only experiments, after all). BTW, all of the code was created
- using Manx C.
-
- Another thing to note: My tab-stops are set to every 4. If you
- are used to 8-tabs then you'll have to adjust.
-
- No guarantees are made with regards to the correctness of anything
- contained therein, nor is the author responsible for any mishap that
- might result from the use or misuse of this code.
-
- BTW -- I'm interested in hearing about your neat algorithms, clever
- hacks, and similar things. Or send me a copy of a program you are working
- on. (Don't send me any pirated stuff though...) The best way to reach me
- is via BIX as 'talin'.
-
-
- I hope you find this stuff useful.
