Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~
You can install these into Blitz2 in two different ways:
1) Temporary installation: Put the .OBJ files (found in each
specific directory of this archive ) into your
Blitzlibs:Userlibs/ drawer and do a RELOAD LIBS from inside
Blitz2 (this command is on the COMPILER folder). The new
commands will be available but will be deleted when you quit
Blitz2.
** NOTE ** For RELOAD ALL LIBS to work, the only directories
that should be in BLITZLIBS: are
Amigalibs
Basic
System
Userlibs
DO **NOT** store any folders of your own on Blitzlibs:.
2) This is the better way of doing it but you can only do this
if you have a Blitz2 program called MakeDeflibs. This program
scans the Blitzlibs: directory for folders and puts every
library it finds into a new DEFLIBS file. After doing this,
you have to delete the libraries and create a new DEFLIBS to
remove the commands.
To do this permanent addition then, copy the library files into
Blitzlibs:Userlibs/ and then run MakeDeflibs. Now reload your
copy of Blitz2 and you'll have the new commands available.
If you have any probs, installing these then let us know
and we'll sort you out.
If you know of any library token clashes, please let us know
and we will be (un)willing to change them.
If you have any suggestions/comments, PLEASE write to :
Reflective Images c/o Steve Matty

Or telephone : +(44) 705 781507
or

The libraries will be constantly updated and free updates will be sent on
demand. We hope you find these libraries useful (you should do - we find them
useful, nearly all the programs we've written rely on these and our other
libraries in some way) and would appreciate any comments you want to make
about them being sent to us. In particular, we would like
to know about:
o Bugs in the commands
o Possible enhancements that could be made
o Additional commands that you'd like to see in the
libraries
o Any problems you have using the commands
o Anything that you hate (or luv) about the commands
o any pleas for help or source code to these libraries
And finally, if you've done something stonking in Blitz that you just have
to tell people about them TELL US! Send us anything interesting you've
done in Blitz or 680x0 assembly language.
And finally, finally, ANY PROBLEMS - mail us at.........
