Readme for XMasRachel Picture
=============================
I just wanted to drop a note to every one out there to have a
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Included in the package
is a kiss from Rachel in this seasonal picture. Hope you enjoy it.

This picture (actually, set of pictures) is a hand-drawn picture of a
new cartoon character named 'Rachel the Raccoon' drawn by Leslie Dietz
of Vegreville, Alberta, Canada.
This picture is in overscanned hires-interlace (704x480) and is
provided in 16-colour, 8-colour, and 4-colour formats so that you can
use them as a Workbench backdrop picture if you have Workbench 3.0 or
if you have Workbench 2 and use NickPrefs or Tapete to put a picture in
the background of your workbench screen. The colours are arranged so
that at least on Workbench 2 you will have standard looking titlebars
and menues.
As you may have seen, it is styled after the 'Eric Schwartz' style of
pictures, but the character of Rachel is a totally original creation
of Les's.
By the way, Les's trademark is the little dragon logo in the corner of
his pictures. Other pictures by Les are 'Rachel_Raccoon' and
'WaterRaccoon' available in the archive 'RachelRaccoon.lzh' or on Fish
Disk 780. Look for more of these in the future.
Les used his brand new Amiga 4000 with the program 'DPaint IV' to do
this picture.
The 8-colour and 4-colour conversions of these pictures and the colour
remapping were done by me (Darren Ewaniuk).
Les is a member of the AmiCUE computer club and is a participant in the
AmiCUE Animation SIG.
If you wish to contact Les, please contact me and I will pass the message
on to him. My EMail addresses are:
