*** Brief information about RAINBOW 0.5 ***

___________________________________________________________________________

RAINBOW version 0.5 was programmed in 100% assembler by
Rasmus Sderberg and Mandus Sderberg.

The example pictures (*.TGA , compressed 16bit targa) was drawn entirely
using RAINBOW version 0.5 by
Rasmus Sderberg.

The manual for RAINBOW version 0.5 was written by
Mandus Sderberg.

The layout of the manual was done by
Berndt Jnsson.

RAINBOW 0.5 is distributed by C-TEK.

We would like to thank Musik & Desktop in Malm and Rufus Sderberg, for
their help.

The programmers send their greetings to:
Sven Karlsson, Conny Pettersson, Peter Engstrm
and to all current/becoming falconeers...

RAINBOW is an art package especially written for the powerful true colour
mode on the Atari Falcon 030. The program is aimed at all graphic artists
who need a quick and effective art package to produce true colour (65536
colours) pictures for games, demos, utilities or private use.

The program runs from either floppy or harddisk, and you don't have to
change colour mode or resolution from the desktop, since RAINBOW
automatically changes that (needless to say it also returns to the old
desktop settings when you quit).

RAINBOW only works with Falcon 030.
___________________________________________________________________________

Since this is a demo version, you won't get a manual. Therefore you will
have to guess how RAINBOW works (of course you'll get a manual when you buy
the commercial version, where you also can save your pictures...), but at
least we're able to reveal the following "hints":

You click on different functions with the left mouse button in order to
activate them.
But if you want to adjust the function's settings, you'll have to press
the right button.

Choice of colours are made using the "colour bars" or "quick choice
palette", that can be altered by changing the colour in any of its "corner
boxes".
Note that RAINBOW uses 16 bit true colour (many other programs that work in
true colour use in fact only 15 bits, resulting in half as many shades of
green).

Press the right button on "rgb" or "vga" in order to change the frequency
and overscan (default is none overscan).
If you happen to set a mode that your monitor can't handle, you may restore
the default monitor settings by pressing the key 'help'.

RAINBOW 0.5 can manage to load *.TGA, *.TPI, *.NEO, *.PI? and *.PC?.
Default is *.TGA, but if you want to load another format you may press
the right button (instead of the left) on "load".
___________________________________________________________________________

We hope that this demo version can give you a chance to test RAINBOW before
you decide if you're going to buy it.
