@NODE "ico" "Icons Background Information"
Well, this time there are mainly 16 colour icons and most of them were created
using the PictIcon program by Chad Randall (Aminet:util/wb). With a 16 colour
WB and the right tool it is really easy to create nice looking icons!
Although I am starting to think that the WB is going to be too colourful...
well, tell me your opinion.
I used a new iconsize too, 55x35 pixel, because it is closer to a 3:4 ratio.
Maybe it should be extended to 57x35 so that it has the same width as an
imagedrawer.
Steps to install my 16 colour palette on your system:
1. Change your screenmode to 16 colors.
2. Load the User-Startup into your editor and change the MagicWB-Daemon to:
Run >NIL: C:MagicWB-Demon 4,123,123,123 5,175,175,175 6,170,144,124 7,255,169,151 8,0,0,255 9,50,50,50 10,96,128,96 11,226,209,119 12,255,212,203 13,122,96,72 14,210,210,210 15,229,93,93
3. Do the same with your Startup-Sequence
4. Load Prefs/Palette and change the last four colours to
255,212,203 122,96,72 210,210,210 229,93,93
and save it. After re-boot everything should work fine.
Note: MUI applications look strange without re-arranging the colors.
The 8 colour Dice icons were requested by Emmanuel Doguet, I hope someone
else finds them useful too.

@NODE "tmb" "TM-Brushes Background Information"
@{" Click here " SYSTEM "MultiView RIguide/TM.brush"} for the 8 colour TMBrush overview.
Beavis was requested by Steven "Beavis" Becker.
The only 16 colour brush I've put a lot of effort in is the @{" Symphonie.brush " SYSTEM "MultiView RIguide/Symphonie.brush SCREEN"}.
Of course it is Mozart and it is drawn after the pic on the box of "Salzburger
Mozartkugeln von Mirabell", a chocolate ball filled with nougat and marchpane..
All the @{" others " SYSTEM "MultiView 16col_stuff/TM_Docks.iff SCREEN"} are again created using PictIcon.
@ENDNODE
@NODE "pat" "Patterns"
The pattern called @{" Raven " SYSTEM "MultiView Patterns/Raven"} is converted to MagicWB colours from a picture
which I found on my new ImageLibrary CD-ROM (>6000 GIF pix!).
The original pic says: "Raven No 5 in a series...POLIWKO/..PIXELIGHT'89".
Quite sexy, isn't it? 8-
Dear reader, if your name is Trevor (Morris), read on:
Maybe you feel like enhancing this pattern a bit...?? ;-)
@ENDNODE
@NODE "sam" "Samples"
@PREV "MAIN"
Many liked the samples in RI8 so here is a yodeling
generator. I suggest
to copy the whole RI9 to RAM and start the guide there - it's much faster.
@{" hey " SYSTEM "RIGuide/Sound RIGuide/1-hey.8svx q"} @{" hou " SYSTEM "RIGuide/Sound RIGuide/2-hou.8svx q"} @{" doula " SYSTEM "RIGuide/Sound RIGuide/3-doula.8svx q"} @{" doule " SYSTEM "RIGuide/Sound RIGuide/4-doule.8svx q"} @{" johyrid " SYSTEM "RIGuide/Sound RIGuide/5-yohyryd.8svx q"} @{" tidi " SYSTEM "RIGuide/Sound RIGuide/6-tidi.8svx q"}
@{" juchizer " SYSTEM "RIGuide/Sound RIGuide/juchizer.8svx q"}
Yodeling is wide-spread here in Austria, it's original purpose was to
comunicate in the mountains I think. ;-)
The samples were taken from a funny module called Yodel_Waltz.lha
(mods/misc).

This package is @{fg shine}CARDWARE@{fg text}.
So if you like it and use some of my icons, TM-brushes etc. you'll have to
send me a postcard which shows a picture of your hometown. This excludes
of course people who sent me one already. IMHO, postcards are a nice way
to get some feedback and they encourage me to continue this icon collection
series ;-).
You are allowed to spread it all over the world using any storage medium
available, but you must spread the whole package.
Programmers & creators of PD-software are allowed to include single icons of
this package in their own package-distributions.
No one is allowed to take more than
1,- (English pound) including disk and
copying cost, and you must include some other MagicWB icons/patterns to fill
up the disk by at least 90%.

Wow! The number of people who sent me a postcard exactly doubled since
the last release! Thank you very much!
Due to the fact that the majority of cards came from central europe, my
CardInfo program only shows this part of the world this time (sorry).
@{" Click here " SYSTEM "RIguide/CardInfo"} to start the CardInfo program (Central Europe).
If you have installed a jpeg datatype, click here to see a scanned postcard
of @{" St.Johann " SYSTEM "Multiview RIGuide/St_Johann.jpeg SCREEN"}. Otherwise look for it in the RIGuide drawer.

Of course, I was looking for the serial number of the monitor.
It is 5221075.
Maybe all A2024 serial numbers start with 52xxxxx and this must be the
reason why two guys came SO close!
Received numbers: Difference:
1230506 from Jonas Larsson 3990569
2711498 from Oliver A. Hofmann 2509577
7448518 from Bartosz Boruta 2227443

@{b}The solution of the puzzle:@{ub}
The nearest neighbour of the breakesman is one of the businessmen (Mr.X),
and he earns exactly three times as much as the breakesman.
=> Mr.X cannot be Mr.Robinson, because he lives in Detroit.
=> Mr.X cannot be Mr.Jones, because his salary of 20.000$ cannot excactly
be devided by three.
=> The name of the nearest neighbour of the breakesman is Mr.Smith.
The businessman (Mr.Y) who has the same name as the brakesman, lives in Chicago.
=> Mr.Y cannot be Mr.Robinson, because he lives in Detroit.
=> Mr.Y cannot be Mr.Smith, because he is the neighbour of the breakesman,
who lives exactly in the middle between Chicago and Detroit.
=> The name of the businessman who lives in Chicago is Mr.Jones.
=> The name of the breakesman is Jones.
Smith beates the fireman in the billiards game.
=> The name of the fireman cannot be Jones, because he is the breakesman.
=> The name of the fireman cannot be Smith, because he beates the fireman in
the billiards game.
=> The name of the fireman is Robinson.
