@REM "********************************************************************"
@NODE "requi" "Requirements.."
*REQUIREMENTS*
An Amiga of virtually any type from one of the following:..
A500,A500+,A600,A1000,A1200,A1500,A2000,B2000,B2500,A3000,A3000T,
A4000[T]/xxx [substitute xxx with 030/040/060],CDTV & CD32
with a keyboard.
Any of the above Amigas will require KS 2.0 and WB 2.0 or greater in
order to run the program.
Memory required: <1k of RAM.
As for RISC based Amigas based around the Power PC-603 & Power PC-604
(and any accelerator cards) as long as the 680x0 and Amiga OS is
emulated correctly, the program should work fine.
@ENDNODE
@NODE "probl" "Problems..?"
*PROBLEMS*
If anyone has any questions, queries, posers, complaints, complements,
etc. about this program then respond via e-mail (addressing the
authors) at the following site:-
mds@enterprise.net
Look out for our WWW pages soon.
@ENDNODE
@REM "********************************************************************"
@NODE "intro" "Program Intrdouction.."
*PROGRAM INTRODUCTION*
RCS is a simple random colour selection program. It alters a colour
in the Workbench palette, that is, the border colour of all windows on
your Workbench.
Of course any graphics using this colour will change!
This program was written because I was bored with the same colour
on my Workbench windows on every boot-up. This program just adds a
little variety into that process.
RCS has been tested thoroughly.
@ENDNODE
@NODE "insta" "Installation of the program.."
*INSTALLATION*
Simply copy the RCS program into your Sys:c/ drawer of your WB disk, or
partition.
You can even add the program to your s:user-startup/ file, for a
change of border colour every re-boot.
@ENDNODE
@NODE "runni" "Running the program.."
*RUNNING THE PROGRAM*
Simply type RCS from a Shell prompt, e.g:-
1.
You can also run RCS by double clicking on its icon.

A500+ 2Mb Chip/6Mb Fast - 420Mb IDE @ 14.90 Mhz (68020+68882) KS2.04
A1200 2Mb Chip/8Mb Fast - 420Mb IDE @ 50.00 MHz (68030) KS3.00
A1200 2Mb Chip/8Mb Fast - 540Mb IDE @ 14.31 Mhz (68020+68881) KS3.00
@ENDNODE
@NODE "histo" "Program history.."
*PROGRAM HISTORY*
v1.00 - v1.04
BETA VERSIONS NOT RELEASED
v1.05
FIRST RELEASE ONTO AMINET!
new improved random routine
streamlined code
@ENDNODE
@NODE "futur" "Future updates.."
*FUTURE ENHANCEMENTS*
Possible enhancements for v1.06.
These are just ideas. They should not to be taken seriously. Some
may be implemented, others may not. We are rather busy with other
projects.
specify colours in a WB palette to be altered.
specify range of RANDOM value for colours.
It's like we said, adding new features does count on many things, e.g.
@{"*GIFTWARE DONATIONS*" LINK "giftw"}, encouragement from *YOU* and enough time to put
them into practise.
