- 1. Terms Of Distribution
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Permission for the non-commercial distribution of Spigot by Dr Gandalf
- is hereby granted. Non-commercial distribution is defined as distribution
- by user groups, individuals, bulletin boards, and not for profit, public
- service public domain disk distributors.
- Any manufacturer of hardware or software is specifically enjoined from the
- public distribution of any part of Spigot by Dr Gandalf, except
- if written arrangements are made with the author (not that I wouldn't be
- willing to make such arrangements).
-
- Spigot by Dr Gandalf is specifically NOT in the public domain.
-
- 2. How it was made:
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- The original images were generated in Interlaced Overscan HAM mode using
- a pre-release version of Turbo Silver SV (floating point), a soon to be
- released update of the commercial ray-tracing program from Impulse
- Software, on an Amiga 2500. The images took 18 hours to generate and
- required 2.75 megabytes of RAM to run. Similar images would have taken
- 100 hours to generate on a standard Amiga.
-
- There are 50 images total, which is 5718050 bytes of information in
- the uncompressed form. The images were touched up with Diamond, also from
- Impulse. After compression and assembly with Byte-by-Byte's public domain
- sequencer, MOVIE, the finished animation file is 251350 bytes long, which
- represents a 95.6% compression. This animation will run in a 512K Amiga.
- The sound was digitized with Perfect Sound fron SunRize.
-
- 3. How to view it:
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- To play it from a CLI:
- - Put Spigot, Spigot.AUD, the .SND file, and a copy of
- MOVIE (version 1.2 or higher) in the same directory or
- on the same disk
- - CD to that disk or directory
- - Type
- 1> Movie Spigot Spigot.AUD
-
- To play it from Workbench:
- - Put Spigot, Spigot.info, Spigot.AUD, the .SND file, and a copy of
- MOVIE (version 1.2 or higher) on the same disk

-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- I hope you enjoy Spigot. If you do, you can pay me back by
- coming up with some interesting animation and graphics of your own and
- distributing them.
-
- PLEASE, when distributing Spigot, be sure to keep it intact, and
- include all portions of the animation in the distribution, including the
- main animation file, the sound control (.AUD) file, the sound (.SND)
- file, this documentation and the associated icons.
