D. Bayne's great Garshneblanker? | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | +------> NO: download it immediately! | +------> YES: Would you like to install three new blankers? | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | +-------> NO: drop this archive (SIGH!!)-; | +-------> YES: I can help you! ;-D In this archive you can find three NEW Garshneblanker modules: 1) CrazyAnt blanker : a blanker based on a 2D Turing machine. 2) Scrawls blanker : a blanker based on iterated function systems (IFS). 3) Demons blanker : a blanker based on a cellular automata. They are based upon three articles that I've read on "Scientific American" (italian edition) and I really don't know whether they are original blankers or not (I think they are :-). They have been developed and tested using Garshneblanker version 38.8 --------------------------------------------------------------------- (Release 36.6) and its source code distribution; if you have an older ----------------------------------------------- version of Garshneblanker try 'em as well, but I'm not sure they will run. You can find their source codes in directories: GSource/blankers/CrazyAnt/ GSource/blankers/Scrawls/ GSource/blankers/Demons/ but, in order to re-compile them, you'll need to get the original Garshneblanker source distribution. If you want to know more about them, you'll find some technical stuff in files: Docs/CrazyAnt.doc Docs/Scrawls.doc Docs/Demons.doc [2] Installation ---------------- >>> If you have an Amiga equipped with 68020 or higher CPU: copy all files in directory GBlankerMod1/blankers020 to your ------------------------------------------------------------ Garshneblanker blankers directory. ---------------------------------- For example, if you've installed Garshneblanker and its modules in SYS:WBStartup/, you can enter this from CLI: CLI> copy GBlankerMod1/blankers020/#?
