I created @{"40 backgrounds" SYSTEM "xPlay Cool.snd Q"} before - this is the fourth release. I always tried to create patterns wish have no visible borders and can be repeated without looking trivial. I didn't want to be one of the authors wo put a dozen copies of the same pattern into an archive - just with different colors or with serveral figures drawn on it. I think thats not worth downloading... This time all backgrounds were taken from several photos. I processed the raw-material with ADPro 2.5.0 and finished it with DPaint 4.5, pixel by pixel - serveral days of work. Result: the best backgrounds available (IMHO)! Additionaly I have included two classic Boot-Pictures and two older backgrounds which fit very well into this package ;-) As you can see this package is @{"SHAREWARE" LINK "Copyright"}. My previous releases were freeware - I just asked to send me comments by e-mail. So far, only a few nice guys (around 12) send me mail. BUT: I know that very much people use my backgrounds everywhere: on their Workbench, with MUI, inside DEMOS, on WWW-pages,... Therfore I decided to publish seven of 13 backdrops crippled: they are marked with a cross. You will receive a peronalised package if you @{"register" LINK "Author"}. @ENDNODE @NODE "Copyright" "COPYRIGHT..." @NEXT "Contents" @PREV "Introduction" @TOC "MAIN" COPYRIGHT ~~~~~~~~~ This package is @{b}SHAREWARE@{ub}! It can be freely distributed and copied, as long as the following conditions are fulfilled: * The sales price must not be higher than the cost of an (empty) disk plus a nominal copying fee plus costs for shipping. The total price must not be higher than 5 US$ or 7 DM or the equivalent in any other currency (on CD-ROM: 25US$ or 35DM). * All parts of the archive and the documentation must be complete. The distribution of single parts or incomplete subsets of the original distribution is not allowed. * These backgrounds or parts of it may not be sold in combination with or as part of commercial software. However, I may allow exceptions to that restriction in individual cases. If you want to spread this package as a supplement to a commercial program, please contact me. Until you receive a written permission from me, do not assume you may distribute Magic-Backgrounds with or as part of your commercial program. * The pictures and documentation may not be changed in any way. Exception (this means: acceptable) is the use of archivers such as 'LHA' and 'LZX', as long as it remains possible to retrieve the original data. Magic-Backgrounds-5 is SHAREWARE, this means I request those users, who regularly use my backdrops (longer than one week), to send me the shareware fee of 7 US$ or 10 DM. REGISTERED USERS will receive the full package without crippled pictures via e-mail! If you live in germany it will be possible to receive the package via snail-mail (just @{"ask me!" LINK "Author"}).
