   Hey! That means a good thing! ;-)   
      
   I've been knocking my eyeballs out on this new patch. MorphOS butterfly   
   icons anyone:   
      
   Hang on: ^K R > /root/UAE/workbench/OS35/PowerIcons.readme ....   
      
   Short:    NEW! 32bit PNG icons on your Amiga !!! (68K and MorphOS)   
   Uploader: uni-dea@jumpy.it (Elena - www.elena-fractals.it)   
   Author:   uni-dea@jumpy.it (Elena - www.elena-fractals.it)   
   Type:     util/wb   
   Requires: AmigaOS 3.5/3.9, Hi/True Color Workbench   
   Version:  1.0   
      
      
    WHAT'S POWERICONS ??   
    --------------------   
      
     In short: PowerIcons is a patch allowing you to use PNG icons (24 bit with or   
     without alpha channel) on your Amiga in a totally transparent and OS-friendly   
     way!   
      
     Also, it performs transparency for default icons (ala Ghosty) and true color   
     mapping of standard Amiga icons (they can now be displayed in full quality   
     with their real colors and without palette-based remapping)   
      
      
     PowerIcons if FREEWARE!   
     Pretending to make money from a community who's trying to survive like Amiga   
     community is simply SAD.   
     PowerIcons is Copyright c 2003 Elena Novaretti   
     Any commercial usage of this archive (whole or partially) is FORBIDDEN.   
     PowerIcons may not be distributed without this accompanying README file.   
      
      
      
    REQUIREMENTS   
    ------------   
      
     All you need is AmigaOS 3.5 or 3.9 running an Hi/True Color Workbench,   
     no special library or extra file is required.   
     Please note that 8 bit screenmodes are NOT supported for obvious reasons!   
      
     A very fast CPU and GFX Board is STRONGLY recommended.   
      
     To fully enjoy PowerIcons you're suggested to use DefIcons and RAWBInfo   
     (even if not required): how to live without them ? ;-)   
      
     Oh, you need some nice PNG icons too, of course! (However, I included   
     some nice examples made by me in the ExampleIcons drawer)   
      
      
    NOTE ABOUT MORPHOS VERSION   
    --------------------------   
      
     A very fast PowerPC version of PowerIcons is included for exclusive usage   
     under MorphOS. Actually, the only people who may benefit from this version   
     are Workbench users under MorphOS emulation (typically MorphOS 0.4 for   
     Amiga PowerUP). DON'T try to launch the included PPC version (PowerIcons.elf)   
     if you don't have MorphOS: your system will crash.

    PowerIcons has been developed on a Pegasos(tm) and compiled with the great   
   VBCC.   
    PowerIconsPPC uses libz.a: many thanks to Gabriele Greco for porting an   
   ixemul-free   
    libz to MorphOS :)
