gimme.lib V1.2 (C)CopyRight 1988, Jan Sven Trabandt. All Rights Reserved.
This software may not be distributed for profit; in other words, it is
freely redistributable except that it may not be incorporated as part of any
commercial or shareware software package without my express written consent.
No warranties, express or implied, are made about this software.
Welcome.
Gimme.lib is a general purpose library of handy-dandy flexible support routines
that allow dynamic creation of intuition structures such as windows, gadgets
and screens (including double-buffering and dual playfields), quick and easy
use of the timer.device, spawning subtasks, simple IFF ILBM and 8SVX routines,
memory chaining and more...
There are currently over 100 routines.
The source to the library may be instructional in demonstrating how some aspects
of the Amiga are used (especially Intuition structures).
Enjoy.
These routines are released to the public domain, but you cannot incorporate
them into a commercial or shareware product without express written consent
of the primary author (me), and you must include the author's name and
disclaimer in any program using this library.

Files you should have received (probably in a zoo archive)
------------------------------
gimme.lib, gimme32.lib - linkable libraries (Manx version)
test.c, test - test/demo program (type "test" to see options)
Makefile - makefile for gimme.lib and test
README - this file
TODO - planned enhancements
GIMMELIB.DOC - brief documentation/outline file
dme.refs - for use with Matt Dillon's "dme" (REF command)
[append it to your usual dme.refs file or
use the ADDPATH command]
tags - output of "ctags" program on the gimmelib source
[useable with dme's CTAGS command]
DOCS - "man"-page-like description of each routine
[this is one big file; actually it was created
by extracting the routine comments from my
source files and stripping them from the source
files in source.zoo to keep them separate and
to avoid unnecessary duplication]
*.c - source files
gimmelib/*.h - include files [move to your include directory]
How to use gimme.lib
--------------------
copy gimmelib/#?.h to your normal include file directory, or precompile it into
your precompiled include file (you can use gimmelib/gimmeall.h to include all
the gimmelib include files)
copy gimme.lib or gimme32.lib to your usual lib directory (where you keep c.lib)
or anywhere specified by your CLIB path
use gimmelib routines in your program and...
link with "-Lgimme -Lc" or "-Lgimme32 -Lc32" (Manx users)
Hope it comes in handy.
Jan Sven.
