I just got through downloading "RGB" from the binaries group, and there are
three big warnings, which I'll give to you in rising order of importance:

Warning 1: The first disk must be named "ArteMatica #3" and the second disk
must be named "ArteMatica #3.1". These volume names are buried in the animation
- there is no simple place you can change them. (Of course, you could do an
assign, but why bother?)

Warning 2: Don't bother downloading RGB if you have less than 2.5 megabytes of
RAM. It won't run with less. (If you have 2.5 MB and a HD, you'll have to build
standalone disks as described above which don't mount the harddrive. Otherwise
you will run out of chip RAM.)

Warning 3: Don't bother downloading RGB unless you have a PAL Amiga. Yep,
that's right, buckaroos, all you Amigoids here in the States are shit out of
luck. Our Italian friends won't be getting any ten dollar bills in the mail
from here. (The Germans and Danes have the choice of sending either $10 or
10,000 Lira...  yep, it's shareware.)


Rats. What I could see of it looked mighty fine, too. Our Italian friends seem
to have been justly proud of what they've done.
