*------------------------------------* | Dissolve II | | | | An Extend-O-Save Module for Warp 9 | | | | Version 1.0 | | | | ½ 1993 CodeHead Technologies | | by Charles F. Johnson | *------------------------------------* Dissolve II does block wipes, fading between darkness and a variety of colorful geometric shapes, or between darkness and your original screen. It requires Warp 9 v3.80 or higher to function as a screensaver, but you can run it without Warp 9 in a special "demonstration mode" by renaming it to DISSOLV2.PRG and launching it just as you would any other program. If you use CodeHead's HotWire program launching utility, there's no need to rename it; you can run Dissolve II as a program simply by clicking the "Running Man" icon and selecting DISSOLV2.EXT. Dissolve II is completely resolution-independent, and will work in all screen modes on ST, TT, or Falcon computers. Demonstration Mode ------------------ When you run Dissolve II as a program (in other words, in demonstration mode) you can view it and play with its options for two minutes. When Dissolve II is loaded as a screensaver module by Warp 9, it normally saves configuration changes automatically when you exit by clicking the OK button. However, when run in demonstration mode Dissolve II does not save your changes. Configuration Options --------------------- SPEED: Fast or Slow. Need I say more? SIZE: Small, Large, or XL. This is the size of the geometric shapes, or of the blocks used in the fade effect. SHOW: Shapes, Screen, or Alt. Select 'Shapes' to always fade between darkness and geometric shapes. Select 'Screen' to always fade between darkness and the original screen. Select 'Alt' to alternate between the two types of displays. CYCLE SIZES: Select this button to cycle among the three block sizes. Please note that the configuration box also has a question mark button, located in the upper right corner. Click this button to see a page of information about the module. If You Don't Have it Yet... --------------------------- ...then you need Warp 9, the feature-packed graphics acceleration utility that also contains a modular screensaver similar to After Dark (tm). The Warp 9 package comes on two disks, includes dozens of interesting and entertaining screensaver modules, and sells for only $44.95 retail. You can buy it at your favorite dealer (make sure to ask for version 3.80) or directly from CodeHead Technologies. A press release documenting the many new features in Warp 9 v3.80 has been distributed through the electronic media. Owners of previous versions of Warp 9 can upgrade to v3.80 by sending their original disk, $25 for the upgrade, plus $3 shipping (4$ Canada, $6 overseas) to: CodeHead Technologies Voice: (213) 386-5735 P.O.
