- The file Intro contains the introduction to the really easy guide as to why
- you should write for Tornado. All copyright notices, and the index are also
- contained in that file.
-
- Also, in this archive there is a GIF file which is a screenshot of tornado in
- action on a 4Mb RO2 floppy only machine (mine!). Not particularly impressive,
- and also the colours are a bit off (thanks to the RO2 ColourTrans), but it
- sorta shows what everything will eventually look like. BTW, ChangeFSI or
- better Translator (as it's a lot faster with GIFs than ChangeFSI) can be used
- to view the GIF. It's a SVGA 256 colour sprite (=480k), so have a bit of
- memory free.

- This archive, and complete details of tornado, can be retrieved from the
- following sites:
-
- micros.hensa.ac.uk (or the shadow at ftp.demon.co.uk, or the mirror at
- src.doc.ic.ac.uk). Go into the acorn section, then do a search for 'tornado'.
- The appropriate docs should appear.
-
- The Digital Databank BBS - number is +44 1707 323531 [3 lines]. (note the
- docs probably will be available from most large Acorn BBS's, so check your
- local BBS first). Go into area 111 (my area), and do a search there for
- 'tornado'. If you're lucky, you may even find a demo or two ... :-)
-
- I also am available at Niall Douglas@fidonet#2:257/501.13,
- ndouglas@digibank.demon.co.uk, and probably at Riscnet#7:353/1 (this is NOT
- confirmed yet!). I should also be available at 2:263/XXX soon enough.
- However, note that unless there is a genuine need of personal attention, you
- will NOT be replied to. Sorry, but I have too much to be doing rather than
- helping newbies who haven't bothered reading the manual.
-
- Oh BTW, if you have anything to do with AU, I'd like to kill you please. My
- email has been chockablock with mail since you were stupid enough not to ask
- me about going to press. Christ, everyone could have gone to hensa instead of
- kicking my door down!
- And my email connection is cross-channel, from Ireland to the UK. It has
- cost me a LOT of money to talk to all these people. Whatever twat at AU did
- this to me - I expect a cheque for £50 arriving soon!
-
- Ok, ok - enough Niall. Time to go to bed. Getting late.
-
- Cheers to all for downloading this and taking the time to read it. I hope you
- enjoy it, and you feel inclined to stop putting up with prehistoric RISC-OS
- and do something about getting our Acorn's into the next century!
-
- Good luck,
- Niall Douglas, tornado developers group.
