The file Intro contains the introduction to the really easy guide as to why
you should write for Tornado. All copyright notices, and the index are also
contained in that file.

Also, in this archive there is a GIF file which is a screenshot of tornado in
action on a 4Mb RO2 floppy only machine (mine!). Not particularly impressive,
and also the colours are a bit off (thanks to the RO2 ColourTrans), but it
sorta shows what everything will eventually look like. BTW, ChangeFSI or
better Translator (as it's a lot faster with GIFs than ChangeFSI) can be used
to view the GIF. It's a SVGA 256 colour sprite (=480k), so have a bit of
memory free.

PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:

This archive, and complete details of tornado, can be retrieved from the
following sites:

micros.hensa.ac.uk (or the shadow at ftp.demon.co.uk, or the mirror at
src.doc.ic.ac.uk). Go into the acorn section, then do a search for 'tornado'.
The appropriate docs should appear.

The Digital Databank BBS - number is +44 1707 323531 [3 lines]. (note the
docs probably will be available from most large Acorn BBS's, so check your
local BBS first). Go into area 111 (my area), and do a search there for
'tornado'. If you're lucky, you may even find a demo or two ... :-)

I also am available at Niall Douglas@fidonet#2:257/501.13,
ndouglas@digibank.demon.co.uk, and probably at Riscnet#7:353/1 (this is NOT
confirmed yet!). I should also be available at 2:263/XXX soon enough.
However, note that unless there is a genuine need of personal attention, you
will NOT be replied to. Sorry, but I have too much to be doing rather than
helping newbies who haven't bothered reading the manual.

Oh BTW, if you have anything to do with AU, I'd like to kill you please. My
email has been chockablock with mail since you were stupid enough not to ask
me about going to press. Christ, everyone could have gone to hensa instead of
kicking my door down!
  And my email connection is cross-channel, from Ireland to the UK. It has
cost me a LOT of money to talk to all these people. Whatever twat at AU did
this to me - I expect a cheque for 50 arriving soon!

Ok, ok - enough Niall. Time to go to bed. Getting late.

Cheers to all for downloading this and taking the time to read it. I hope you
enjoy it, and you feel inclined to stop putting up with prehistoric RISC-OS
and do something about getting our Acorn's into the next century!

Good luck,
Niall Douglas, tornado developers group.
