- This issue we will be highlighting a unique ShareWare program.
- ShareWare programs, for those of you who haven't heard the term before,
- are distributed through public domain access. These ShareWare authors
- have chosen, to let the user try and evaluate their programs before
- asking to be paid for them. They only ask that if you, the user, find
- their programs of use, please send them money or some token for
- their efforts. Many good utilities and games can be acquired as
- ShareWare.
-
- Our first ToolChest distributed shareware program is called Tessalator,
- an unusual program to say the least. It helps in generating tessalations
- (ha ha). What is a tessalation you ask? The best way to answer that is to
- double click on the IntroTitle icon. The picture displayed is a tessalation.
-
- Historically, this type of program is used by clothing and wallpaper
- manufactures. This type of program can cost thousands of dollars.
- What can you use this program for? Probably the most useful application
- for this program is in designing unique patterns for use in paint
- programs, as backdrops for ray tracing, or textures for your 3d vector
- objects. Write us and let us know how you have used this program, or
- better yet, send us a copy of your tiles.
-
- Oh yes. I almost forgot. I have it on good authority that a high resolution
- version with improved drawing speeds is planed for the future if enough
- people respond to the authors.
-
- Notes:
- This program will not PRINT unless your implementation of
- WorkBench was used for the boot disk.
-
- Also, if you experience some problems using the fill, try
- increasing your stack size.
