- ShadowMaster is a tool that makes getting interesting screen saver
- graphics running easier than it is with stock AmigaDOS. All the owrk
- of watching the input stream, starting and stopping the graphics is
- done for you. All you have to do is open a screen and draw into it,
- while watching for a Control-C signal. I've even provided templates
- for doing such.
-
- In one sense, ShadowMaster is freeware. The freely distributable
- package is in no way crippled or a "demo" version. However,
- ShadowMaster is shareware in sense closer to the meaning of the word
- than most packages distributed with that label; I want people to share
- screen saver modules with me, and to allow me to share them with
- others. To encourage that, the freely distributable package has only a
- small number of savers. A larger collection - along with the latest
- version of ShadowMaster - can be obtained by sending me a new saver
- for that collection. For those whose talents don't lean towards
- graphics code, a cash contribution can be made instead. See the file
- Distribution for details.

- Start by reading the file docs/Install. docs/ShadowMaster is probably a
- good bet for the next thing to read, with docs/ScreenSaver being a
- close second.
-
- The file freebiez.lzh in the commercial version is the freely
- distributable version of shadowmaster. Feel free to give it to all
- your friends. In fact, you'd be doing me a favor by spreading it as
- far as possible.
