DISTRIBUTION CONDITIONS:

The icons in the package may be freely distributed, but may not be sold for
money  or  profet  or  altered.  Note:  There is a 32 bit checksum CRC list
included  in this archive (CRCList).  This file is so I can check if anyone
has  tampered  with  any  of  the  files  in this distubution.  If the file
'CRCList'  file is not present in this distrubution or anthing is altered I
will  instantly  no  about it, since the 32 bit checksum CRC's of the files
will  be different.  If I find anyone has tampered with the archive I shall
not release further icons sets.

ABOUT:

Here's some icons for all issues of 'The Crypt' I have created for those of
you  who  run  the  magazine  from  your  hard  disk.   If I receive a good
response, I shall continue to produce further icons for future issues.

The  icons  have  been  created using Personal Paint 7, ImageStudio and the
IconEdit program and saved out as a v44 colour icon that OS 3.5 / 3.9 uses,
so you will need:-

AmigaOS 3.5 / 3.9
256 colour pallette screen (24 bit is also fine), 800x600 screen resolution
or more.

CopyIcon44 (Included with this distrubution, and is © Stephan Rupprecht).

About CopyIcon44:
To  update  NewIcons and Commodore 4 colour / MagicWB icons to OS 3.5 ones,
you  need  to  use  CopyIcon44  by  Stephan  Rupprecht.   CopyIcon44  works
*exactly*  like the 'CopyIcon' tool included in the NewIcon package, but is
specifically for OS 3.5.  It will allow you to update your 'Crypt' icons to
the  lovely  icons  in  this  package.   I  include  CopyIcon44  with  this
distribution.

To Install CopyIcon44:
To  use  CopyIcon44  install  it  into  your  Tools  drawer.  Then drag the
CopyIcon44  program  icon  out of your tools drawer and onto your Workbench
screen,  and  select  'Leave  Out'.  Position the CopyIcon44 icon where you
want  it  (ensure  it's  highlighted) and select Icons/Snapshot from top of
Workbench  screen.   This  means  CopyIcon44 is alway readily accessible on
bootup  so  updating  all  your  old  icons  in the foreseeable future is a
breeze..  :-D

To Update Your Icons:
Now  click  once  on  the  CopyIcon44 program icon, then hold down the left
shift  key.   click  once  on  the Crypt icon you want to use, then finally
(whilst  still  holding down the shift key) click twice on 'The Crypt' icon
you  want  to  change.   Voila,  it  is  updated  with one of the icons you
selected in this package.

I  inclose  a screengrab of the icons in the package (ICONS.IFF) so you can
see what they look like 8-D
