+ I created these IFF patterns to use as backdrops on my Amiga.
+ I run a 1024x768x16 color workbench using a Retina video card, 
+ so the patterns are fairly large.  They should, however, look
+ fine on a normal WB of 640x480 resolution or higher.  They
+ are larger than standard WB patterns, however, so they require
+ either NickPrefs or WB 3.x.

COPYRIGHT

	All these patterns were created by hand by Michael Heinz, who
	reserves all rights to them.
	
	Permission is hereby given to distribute these patterns as long
	as this readme file is included with them.

NOTES

	This is version 2 of this collection.

	Sample_Brushes and Sample_Brushes_2 are snap shots of the various
	patterns.

	Fancy Stone, Stonewall and Herringbone are all 8 color patterns.
	They comply with the MagicWB color scheme, so they shouldn't
	cause problems with that icon set.

	Cobblestones and the wood grain patterns are 16 color patterns, 
	but use MagicWB's colors for the first 8 colors of their palette.  
	(In fact, under 3.x they could probably be reduced to 8 colors 
	with no problem.)

DISCLAIMER

	They look great on my machine!
