When this program was first released, it did NOT have anything in

routines for managing files).If you have any trouble whatsoever
with the program you may report it to me, but you MUST remember
that the program was provided AS IS! Maybe (IF its a bug in the
program) I will look after it. If You DON'T like this, then

| What this proggy does   (or is supposed to do)                  |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
It's a drawing proggy to draw sprites,fonts(libs of sprites) &
ICONs.  It also produces files in
I(nsecabilis)G(raphics)A(rray)-format.  It is not my intention to
give a complete overview of it's functions, because I have to get
up early tomorrow, but here is an explanation about getting
started:

A => A 32*32 (4pixel*4pixel)-raster in which you can draw your
     sprites leftbutton=U, rightbutton=V, middlebutton=0 (erase)
B => along with A, you get to see the result Real-Size
C => just filling
D => here is where you get to see errors (Disk I/O (file not
     found, ...)) also there is a bar with a path-string, which you
     can alter
E => this saves according to the T extension in IGA-format or
     ICO-format if the extension is IGA, the program will use
     P,Q,R to know what to save so, when you want to save
     something, FIRST check if the settings in P,Q,R are the ones
     you would like to use for your saving.
F => this LOADs into memory from the Picture you are on (M)
     onwards 'til everything is loaded (when you load a lib from
     a position, but when the lib contains more than 60-M, it
     will start at the beginning again (M=1) when it reaches 61)
G => Obvious not?!?
H => has only effect on P and Q variables
I => clears current picture defined by M
J => makes a copy of everything in the P & Q variables to a
     clipboard
K => gets the clipboard to the current picture and fills it from
     X1 Y1, defined in P & Q
L => Cuts everything within the range of the P & Q variables

+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
M => points to current position,by leftclicking the mouse on it,
     you can change directly to a specified picture (which will
     alter A & B as well)
N => 2 arrows used by clicking on it to alter the position in
     picture array indirectly changes M and thus A & B also
     leftclick=1 at a time, rightclick=keep pressed to alter till
     you artive where you want to be
O => colours of palette,which is available leftclicking on them
     will alter U rightclicking on them will alter V remember
     that when you want to change an ICON, you MAY ONLY USE
     colors 0 TO 15 (line 1 in O)
P & Q => topleft till bottomright + X-axis & Y-axis length to
         (cut,copy,...)
R => from which picture till which picture to save
S => name inputfile
T => name outputfile
U => color left
V => color right

| Insecabilis? Never heard of! Who are they?                    |
+---------------------------------------------------------------+
Insecabilis is the name of a Demo/Intro/Game group I am trying to
start. At the moment of this writing, there are 3 members

        Dimitri Smits (Discordis): CODER
        Benjamin De Hondt        : MUSICIAN (has his own CD out
                                   in a couple of months)
        Ben Verpoorten           : CODER

If YOU are intersted in 'working' for a group such as ours,
please contact me, I won't lauch (I'd probably do worse anyway).
So, if you are a 'GOOD' GFX-artist, a 'GOOD' musician or a 'GOOD'
CODER (preferably capable of writing his Sourcecode in TP7.0(with
ASM-based subroutines) and able to create a musicsystem for 8CHN
MODS(or something)) PLEASE send us some of your work, or tell us
where to find it (on Internet) and we 'll take a look at it.  We
are (at least not for now) not yet into commercial demos, becoz
we want to learn to code better and have more efficiency first,
maybe we will in a 'near' FUTURE.

This Package should be spread totally, without changes, and
should contain the following files:

  SPRIV100.DOC  you are reading this
  SPRIHIST.INS  history file
  SPRITER.DAT   DATA-file for SPRITER
  SPRITER.EXE   SPRITER, the executable
  FILE_ID.DIZ   description-file
  PALETTE.PAL   palette-file (if you make another palette, this
                won't change the palette in the program, but if
                your palette is better, you may always send it
                in)
