## IMPRESSUM: 
## 
## I maded this with care so do not judge me - i`m not a software pirate !!!
## For all SGI / IRIX funs - everywhere on the planet and still alive:
##
## Are you ready to enjoy AGAIN the pearl of
## picture editing software ever made - Adobe Photoshop !!!
## Are you ready to do it on your favorite machine ???
## Adobe Photoshop once ~ or cca. 12 years ago and more !!! 
## was available for your now toys called SGI, running on world most powerful unix
## ever made - called IRIX. The time is passed, the Photoshop on SGI was abandoned and 
## obsoleted ... the IRIX was on the end of the road too ...
##   
## But the new CULT of SGI strikes BACK !!! today in 2007/08` and on !!!
## SGI machines are powered up again, cleaned from dust, shiny and ready to run again,
## their beauty is visible AGAIN !!! uh god what a suspance !!!
## Your SGI machine like mine is HUNGRY for software that this days must be tracked  
## and emerged from the dust too ... you can google for Irix goldies for hours, days,
## months, years ... you will find NOTHING ... i`m sorry, here things are different ...
## 
## SO i make this first step for you SGI freaks.
## I spent more than 6 months cca. searching for useful IRIX software,
## and one of my finds is this one you will run on your Octane or Indigo2 in few minutes,
## ok, ok i know you are in hurry, but be patient please :) i maked time to write it :)
##  
## I`m NOT a software pirate / nor ever was !!! just a regular SGI fun / user, like you.
## Can you call piracy sharing some software that is abandoned both by Adobe / SGI
## for more than 8-10 YEARS now ??? Try to give a call to SGI asking for 
## Adobe Photoshop 3.0.1. Irix, they even not care/hear about Irix anymore...
## Try to call Adobe and ask the same question, they will laugh loud on the phone, 
## thinking you are just a crazy guy just misspeled 3 for "CS3" ? ... and when you say 
## "Irix" they will think you are talking about some food...  
## 
## And ? is this the end ? Is better the software dies abandoned ???, or is better 
## share it, so to be not forgotten ? is better young people learn unix things ???
## and graphic editing ??? on powerful sw like Photoshop, on powerful machines like 
## SGI`s are ??? So comm`on don`t be cynical, you know what i`m talking here ...
## I`m not here to decide what`s legal / illegal, and to be some kind of judge,
## but for shure neither Adobe nor SGI will fail cause of my post, they have
## better things to do, than bug modest SGI funs/users, abouut some old school sw...
## 
## FOR THE END: I hope you will enjoy this one !!!
## How to participate ? Do the same thing i done - don`t let abandoned Irix goldies die
## share it ... use it ... Not know what ??? Most used sw on SGI boxes it`s from primary 
## field of use like 3D, graphic design, animation and film production.
## Here you can give much by sharing some gold oldies to young SGI funs - so consider 
## it a obligation. Keeping gelously the sw for yourself, you not achive anything. 
##
## AND SPECIAL ALLERT: DON`T THROW AWAY NOR DESTROY PRECIOUS SGI HARDWARE !!!!!!!!!!! 
## ESPECIALLY - THE RARE ONE !!! YOU WILL BE JUDGED ON YOUR LAST DAY !!! THIS IS A SERIOUS
## WARNING !!! THERE ARE ALWAYS INTERESTED SGI USERS READY TO TAKE YOUR SPARES TO THE 
## NEW HOME !!! EVEN YOU CAN PUT YOUR UN-WANTED ITEMS ON eBAY AND EARN EXTRA BUCK`s !!! 
## THERE YOU WILL FIND FOR SHURE A GOOD BUYER !!! DON`T DESTROY BEAUTIFUL AND UNIQUE 
## SGI MACHINES WITH NICE COLORED CASES - JUST TO PUT AN BASTARDOUS PC INSIDE !!!!!!!!!!!
## THIS IS MOST DISGUSTING AND HORRIBLE THING YOU CAN DO WITH THEM !!! FOR SUPERSCALAR, 
## SUPERCOMPUTER RISC WARIORS !!! IS DYING IN SHAME !!! SO - DON`T DO IT !

THAT`S ALL :))) now you can proceed with the installation :)))

About:
------
I successfuly ran this software on my Indigo2 Impact 10000, Irix 6.5.19, and i think every
machine from Indy and up, running Irix 6.5.x should be fine. Take care of RAM ammount if
you will edit large files ;) and offcourse 24 bit + gfx ;] not shure about 8 bit Indy`s 
or Indigo`s, but from my pov - should work... but hey ! don`t be lazy - and get some nice
gfx for your SGI box ;] world is ugly in 8 bit`s you know ...

Installation:
-------------
Very easy :) just extract the package somewhere on your SGI box and execute: 
-> ./Installpho2.csh -> then wait, respond on few questions, that`s it :)))
if you own an O2 you can browse to /O2_pp dir and install the performance package
for O2, i installed it on my I2 anyway, and dunno if i get some improvements or not :O
This was made for Photoshop to take some specific advantages of the 02 hardware ? 
(or even R10K cpu, not remember) but with or without it PS 3.0.1 will work like a charm :)

Patch:
------
Open the patch dir, copy /patch/src.so to /usr/adobe/Photoshop_3.0.1/lib/src.so, there 
is already one fille called the same way so - make a backup and rewrite it ... 
that`s all :]

Run:
----
Open the terminal window (shell) anywhere in the path type "photoshop" should start. 

Enjoy:
------
Here only your immagination can be useful :)

Interesting facts:
------------------
I successfuly opened a *.psd document created with Photoshop CS3 with Irix Photoshop 3.0.1 !!!
uh man - that`s means backward compatibility !!!
