==============================================================================

What you are reading now is an example of the GFX-Reader which is included on
the routines disk, the listing of which is in the ROUTINES directory, and the
compiled version is in the C directory.  It is fully explained by reading the
program listing itself...

==============================================================================

On the disk this time is a new Sound-Tracker converter program which if you
don`t know already converts Sound-Tracker modules into AMOS ABK modules,
the only problem is that it cannot convert modules with the new Synthetic
instruments in it.  This program can only be loaded from WB by double clicking
on it`s icon as I only supplied the compiled version, because the listing
itself was too slow at converting the modules.

Also on the disk is a compiled version of the BOB Cutter program, this is
explained further on in these Docs and in it`s listing.

==============================================================================
The following is a list of each program in the ROUTINES directory :-
==============================================================================

   3D_Load.AMOS         - This program lets the user load up a 3D object
                          which is on the disk, then rotates it on screen.

   BOB_Cutter.AMOS      - This is a simple to use Bob cutter that lets you
                          load an IFF picture to cut it up and make Bobs
                          out of.

   De_Colon_2.AMOS      - This is version 2 of the De-Coloniser program that
                          was given in the Amos Club magazine, it loads an
                          AMOS program that was saved as an ASCII listing,
                          then seperates each command on its own line,
                          in all, it tidies up and improves the listing.

   File_Requester.AMOS  - This is a File-Requester made from a couple of
                          procedures, it`s not all that bad, it lets you use
                          wildcards as well.

   GFX_Reader.AMOS      - This is an ASCII text reader that allows you to
                          place small pictures (Bobs) in the listing, so
                          you can jazz up your text.

   Morph.AMOS           - This is a small example of a line morph, all it does
                          is draw one shape on screen, then changes it into
                          another shape, not bad  really.

   Starfield.AMOS       - Ever wanted to place a starfield in the back of a
                          demo, or even in a game, here`s the routine to do
                          it.

   VDU_Studio.AMOS      - Yep! another music player.  This one allows you to
                          change the volume, switch Dolby on or off as well
                          as turning each channel on or off as well.

   Text_Effects.AMOS    - This is a handy little procedure that lets you draw
                          text on the screen with different styles, colours
                          and even different fonts.

   Growbar.AMOS         - This procedure lets you stretch a bar across a part
                          of the screen, like the ones used in art packages,
                          so you can draw boxes & cut brushes Etc!

   NEO_To_IFF.AMOS      - This routine is very handy, for all those programmers
                          that are trying to convert Atari-ST NEOchrome piccys
                          to Amiga IFF ones, this routine will do it for you,
                          there is even a NEOchrome picture supplied on the
                          disk which is of Cindy Crawford.

   BOB_Viewer.AMOS      - This routine lets you load up a Sprite bank, and
                          scroll through each one, giving you information on
                          each sprite as you go along, like width & height Etc!

   Display_Picture.AMOS - This is a picture viewer that lets the user load 
                          either an IFF or Amos ABK picture and display it on
                          screen, and by reading the listing, shows you how
                          Amos tells the difference between each picture.

   Spread.AMOS          - This routine lets you spread one colour to another,
                          like in most art packages.
