License Statement and Warranty:
These modules are FREE. Use and distribute them without guilt.
However, you may not make any profit from distributing them.
These modules come with no warranty of any sort, expressed or
implied. In the event of a problem, I don't expect to be liable for
any more than I'm charging for them (read: nothing). Besides, I'm
a starving graduate student with nothing for you to take.
Notes on the modules:
MESSEUSE
Ever notice how the Messages module always displays the same message
wherever it appears? (For example, make two MultiModules, each with
Messages. Now try to make them display different messages.
Frustrating, no?) Messeuse corrects this defect by using a control
panel slider to determine the active message. Since sub-modules in
MultiModules and Randomizer modules CAN have different control panel
settings, you can have the Messeuse module show a different message
in each separate MultiModule.
WARNING: Messeuse uses COMMDLG.DLL (which comes with Windows 3.1)
to select its fonts. If you don't have this file accessible,
Messeuse probably won't work properly.
PATTERN TILER
A pretty simple module, but still pleasing. I could conceivably
make it use any pair of user-specified bitmaps of the same size -
if you have any pairs of bitmaps you'd like to see in a future
release, send me E-mail.
Y.A.B.L.
Yes, it's another bouncing line module. However, this one changes
shape smoothly, and has support for 256-color modes.
