- 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.
