Short Description:
------------------
Editor for creating/modifying custom EGA/VGA icons for TCXL.
Long Description:
-----------------
Have you ever wanted to dress up the text-based programs you create with
graphic images, without actually going through the hassle of rewriting
your program for a graphics display mode? With icons created by the
Rimrock Icon Editor (RIE), you can create 'pseudo-graphic' images that can
be displayed on an EGA or VGA display in text mode.
RIE allows you to graphically create a 16 bit by 32 bit icon, which is
stored in a C source file. This information can then be used as 4
characters of 16 lines, which can be loaded as user-defined characters
into the display adapter.
RIE was created primarily to support version 6 of TCXL, the TesSeRact C
eXtended Library (TCXL is copyright (C) 1987-92 by Innovative Data
Concepts). However, the included ICONLOAD sample program will show you
how to load icons on your own.
Registration Information:
-------------------------
For your registration fee, you will receive the latest registered version
of RIE, all accompanying files, and a printed user's manual. The
registered versions of the program does not contain any registration
reminders.
