- Notes from the author, DEMO-Ba: The x2ftp.oulu.fi version
- ---------------------------------------------------------
-
- 'ello.
- I was chatting with Jouni (jon@stekt.oulu.fi =) the other day about the
- x2ftp.oulu.fi Game Programmers' FTP-site when it occured to me that I
- still had the source code to an old BBS demo I did last year. I'd even
- already packed up it sent out copies to a few local BBS several months back.
-
- At any rate, this is that same zip-file except that:
- 1) I patched together this X2FTP.1ST file and recompressed everything.
- 2) I removed all the .LBM files, since they were the same as the .BMPs (drew
- the graphics with DPAINT II of course...) and also got rid of a few
- files that didn't serve any purpose.
- 3) I went in and changed the graphic that had the number to the Forgotten
- Realms BBS since they haven't been up for almost three-quarters of a
- year. =)
- 4) Added TMG.GIF, the logo for THE MINIMALIST GROUP.
- Added YAZZIE13.GIF (which is yet another picture of my poor lost kitty =)
- 5) Added some new legals... Oops! =) The x2ftp.oulu.fi CD-ROM is now
- basically the only CD you're going to find this program on. :)
-
- Beyond this, the files have not changed at all since I first made them long
- long months ago. So don't laugh at the code. Please? hey! Quite snickering!
- I've got much better since then! HONEST!! =) =)

- -------------------- LEGAL DOGMA FOLLOWS -----------------------------
- THE FORGOTTEN REALMS demo-B
- Written by The Minimalist Group the week concluding on 6/8/94.
- Copyright (c) 1994. All Rights Reserved.
-
- The program and it's files are FREEWARE. The only reason it is not
- in the public domain however is that I don't want any "newbie" people
- changing a few lines of code on me and claiming it's thiers (which, if
- this was public domain, they legally could).
- So I (the author) choose to retain all applicable rights to protect
- against such situations. Beyond that, you are free to use the source
- code (not the graphics, however) to make your own demo. Enjoy.
-
- The graphics, as best I recall, were either both drawn by me, or
- scanned in from old photos I took and painstainingly modified to get
- the "ruined castle" look I was looking for.

- Permission has been granted (from the author) for the x2ftp.oulu.fi
- /pub/msdos/programming site to use this archive in any CD-ROM it
- produces. =)

- ======================== The Minimalist Group ==========================
- The Forgotten Realms BBS is now long dead....but the demo lives on. |-)
-
- This archive contains the originally released executables to the
- program known as "THE FORGOTTEN REALMS BBS demo-B". It *ALSO* contains
- the *FULL* source code in C++/inline along with a few support programs,
- and bitmap graphics. |-)
- Why? Good question. Mainly cause looking at the code now...it makes no
- real "threat" to release it now. It's kinda archaic and badly written
- in other words. It was TMG's very first demo after all. All in 80186
- code nuzzled in a C++ frame...no sound support. Ug.
