-
- 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.

- [useable with dme's CTAGS command]
- DOCS - "man"-page-like description of each routine

- 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.
