- 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

-
- 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
-
