QOMBI Sources
                             =============


Here is much of the material that went into creating QOMBI. Simply unzip
the archive QOMBI99s.zip into the same containing folder used to store the
game proper. Only one file overlaps: History_txt, and that is identical to
the one supplied with the game.

The source files for the toolkits included may be found at knoware.no. For
best results, keep them in the same folder structure as you find them
there!

Some references in the assembler file are to dev8_. These all belong to
the SMSQ/E sources. Again, best keep the relevant files from there in the
same folder structures as you find them.

It is possible to tinker with the main QOMBI SBASIC files without changing
or reassembling the toolkits, so don't be put off if assembler is not your
thing!

Not all of QOMBI is included here, though! Many different programs, both QL,
Windows and Linux went into creating various parts of the program. The
resulting production files are spread around my systems, and some of them
are rather large by QL standards. Besides, I don't think my "artwork" is
QOMBI's strongest point! I hope that one day someone might feel tempted to
recreate those components, and so I have left them out.

The sprite texts were created in M$ Word, using the Ravi font. Screen
grabs were then made and converted to PNGs, which were manipulated with
GIMP and converted to sprites with MK's PNGconv or WL's Sprites. The
resulting assembler files were cobbled together by me and assembled into
dynamic or complex sprites and linked into the toolkit.

For how to change the cards, symbols etc, see the chapters on the topic
in the QOMBI manual.


Software status
---------------
While you don't need my approval to make changes, you will need my approval
(if Im still around!) to publish any such updated program and call it QOMBI!

It would also be appreciated if any derivative work contained
acknowledgement of those who inspired it, even more so if they actually wrote
it! Thanks in advance!
