Photogenics 2 Developer Documentation


The developer documentation for writing your own Effects, Loaders & Savers is included on disk 1 in the Extras drawer as an LHA archive, DevDocs.LHA. Here is the read-me file that accompanies them:


By Jolyon Ralph - 15th May 1996

All files in this directory are Copyright © Almathera 1994-1996, All Rights Reserved.

Distribution is limited to methods specifically endorsed by Almathera.

Currently these include:

Electronic Distribution via Aminet, BBSs, other On-line services (eg. CIX, Compuserve, Genie, etc.), Public-Domain CD-ROMS, and PD libraries (at no more than standard cost).

This does NOT include:

Magazine coverdisks (please write or fax for permission), Commercial Products, anything else not covered above.

They may ONLY be distributed as the full archive (pgsdevdocs.lha) and NOT split up in any way (for floppy disk & CD-ROM distribution the files may be shipped unarchived if prefered). None of the files should be altered in any way, and no extra files (especially including BBS adverts) should be added to the archive. If your BBS adds pointless adverts to the archive, and we find out about it, we'll blacklist your BBS from distribution. Stop filling up our hard disks with your junk adverts please!

If you want to develop a .GIO file for Photogenics, then please let us know about it, we are happy to help out where possible!
