[ continuation ] * Several EGS demos * Macropaint, 2D, 24-bit paint program * Demo version of TVPaint by TecSoft (full-blown version of TVPaint/EGS available at an extra charge of $995). [ note: this hardware clearly outdoes $100,000 quantel paintbox systems used in the broadcast TV industry. I have not seen TVPaint, so I can't judge how well the software system compares 🙂 One other thing to note is that TVPaint is EGS compliant so it should also run on all the other boards mentioned that EGS has been ported to… ] * C-language includes for all EGS libraries. * Cluster modules for EGS libraries (Cluster is a powerful extension of the Modula-II language and a very powerful Cluster compiler is available for the Amiga). * Programming examples (source code) in both C and in Cluster. Type of EGS libraries included: The EGS libraries provide extensive and easy-to-use, Amiga-like, functions, which can be categorized as follows: * Display functions * Memory management functions [ my guess is that you need AllocMem(MEMF_CHIP)-alike functions to allocate VRAM… ] * Low level Blit functions * Graphics Drawing functions * Screen functions * Layer functions * Menu functions * Window management/creation functions * Gadget management/createion functions * color independancy functions [ and, drumroll please…. ] Suggested list price: a) EGS-110/24 with 4MB of VRAM: $2699 b) EGS-110/24 with 8MB of VRAM: $3399 c) 4MB of BRAM (SIMMs) upgrade for 4MB version: $800 [ this is the end of the flyer. I typed the whole thing in (being a touch typist is handy sometimes) in about an hour 🙂 OK, so DPaint [ MORE ]
