DESCRIPTION

    LotsaBlankers is a blanker package for the Garshneblanker -
    system. Plus that it features a replacement for the original
    Garshnelib.library, that has better AGA support. The blankers
    themselves are a set of five excellent blankers, most coded in
    highly optimized assembler for the best speed. The blankers are
    also configurable to a high degree:

    LotsaSnow    Very simple, snowflakes that fall down your screen,
                 but many of them!

    LotsaStars   Rides through a space of colorful stars, uses a
                 special colorcycling method to give the stars
                 beautiful trails.

    LotsaPlasma  Generates a double plasma and animates it with two-
                 dimensional color-cycling, you must see it to
                 understand it!

    LotsaLego    Builds random constructions of Lego building blocks,
                 it is for all of us who miss the days when we were
                 kids and spent hours building with these.

    LotsaDistortion  Renders a distortion and moves it around the
                 screen. Picture a twirl that bounces around on your
                 desktop, or a magnifying glass!


NEW FEATURES

    v1.04 19.5.1997

        o FIXED: MAJOR bug in installer, that appeared due to the last
          'bugfix.'
        o ADDED: You can set the 'Number of colors' slider to 0 in LotsaStars,
          to get Greyscale stars.

    v1.03 9.5.1997

        o ADDED: 'Random Hue' option for LotsaStars
        o FIXED: Bug in installer that caused updates to fail.


SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS

    You need the following to use LotsaBlankers:

        o AmigaOS v3.0 or higher.
        o 020 or better processor.
        o AGA chipset or 100% compatible.

    Most of the blankers also look better if you have a faster
    processor. LotsaDistortion does in practice require a 68030.
