- !SpriteSrt (god I hate not being able to fit that 'o' in) Graeme Foster

-
- Version 1.00 (14 Apr 1994)
-
- I personally don't like !Help files which aren't called !Help, but it doesn't
- seem right to stick a great long text file on the 'Help' option on the icon
- bar.
-
- Anyway, I finally got fed up of searching through huge files of sprites in
- any old order when trying to sort out a nice selection to be loaded in during
- my !Boot sequence, so I hacked up this little tool.
-
- I haven't really done any testing at all, so be careful how you use it. I may
- be interested if you find any bugs, then again I might not. Still, it's
- probably worth reporting them.
-
- I dread to think how long it takes to sort out a file on floppy disc due to
- the horrifically bad file handling. I daren't try. :-)
-
- This program was something I wrote for my own personal benefit, because I
- couldn't think of any easier way to do the job (drop me a line if there's an
- easier way... but I hope not!), and besides, I was bored. Out of the goodness
- of my heart I thought I may as well share it with you. I therefore make no
- claims that it is:
-
- (a) Well written
- (b) Worth keeping
- or even (c) Worth using
-
- ...but I do hope that it is (c) at least once.

- Licence
- =======
-
- You may freely distribute the application in its entirety (which means
- including this file), and quite frankly I don't care if you do make a profit
- out of it. I'd like to see someone try. However, it does remain copyright to
- me, so in the highly unlikely event that you do manage to make any money out
- of it, I want to know...
- Sundays: Noon 'til 3pm.

- Peace, love and humptyness forever.
- Cheers then,

- PPS I am interested in collecting nice, useful page layouts and styles for
- both Impression and Techwriter to be put in the public domain, as I'm
- sure lots of people would find them very handy. Send them to me.
