- This program and its supporting files are Freeware. You may copy it freely,
- however you are not allowed to spread any altered version of it.
- PD-Distributors are allowed to offer this program in their library without
- my prior consent, as long as they supply all files (including this text).
- In addition, I would ask you to notify me when offering this program in your
- PD-library. You are not required to do so, but I would like to keep track of
- who is distributing it and whom to send future updates.

- System Requirements
- -------------------
-
- The program SHOULD run on all PAL-Amigas with at least 1MB RAM, but I
- haven´t been able to test it on every possible configuration. (Since the
- program loads from Workbench, make sure to have enough free CHIP ram,
- otherwise you might run out of memory when trying to show a graphic or play
- a sample.)
-
- Technical Note
- --------------
-
- When the program runs out of memory, the error message it gives you does
- not distinguish between Fast- and Chip-RAM. However, the only situation
- the program specifically tries to allocate Chip-RAM is when loading a
- sound-sample. So when you select "Play Sample" and get the error message,
- you most likely just run out of Chip-RAM.
-
- HD-Install
- ----------
-
- Simply drag the "SimpsonGuide"-Drawer to whatever partition you want and
- run the program from there. You can even change the name of the drawer,
- but the sub-directories containing the data ("Graphics", "Samples", "Text")
- must always be in the same directory as the main program.
-
- What´s new
- ----------
-
- For the time being the program will stay on one disk, since I don´t want
- to begin a second disk that stays nearly empty. To make this release
- fit onto one disk, I had to remove the largest sound-sample (OPENG.SPL).
- I instead introduced a smaller but much more interesting one (DNISE.SPL).
- It can be accessed by selecting "The People vs OJ/Testimony by Prosecution
- Witnesses/Spousal Abuse".

-
- Want to do me a favor?
- -----------------------
-
- If you like my program and want to do me a favor, then please call
- NBC Super Channel and tell them you want the following shows back:
-
- - I WITNESS VIDEO (They promised new episodes but never delivered.)
- - THE TODAY SHOW !LIVE! (They now replay yesterdays show in the morning -
- does it make sense to air an 18 hour old newscast??? We want it LIVE!)
- - The Simpson Trial Special from KNBC Los Angeles (The best Simpson wrap-up
- there is. Originally they aired it TWO times a day. Then they kicked it
- out. Don´t ask me why. They could at least air it during the night so
- we can tape it.)
- - RIVERA LIVE should also be aired weekdays. This show is better than
- Larry King and they CANCEL it. They recently brought it back, but only
- during the weekend. What genius makes these decisions anyway?
- - INSIDE EDITION is another excellent show that found itself off the air
- several month after being introduced.
-
- Again, if you want to do me a favor and your English is good enough,
- simply call 0044 171 418 9418 and tell the operator you want to talk to
- someone at programming. I know what the chances are, but should enough
- people call...
-
- Thanks!
