ABOUT ROLLER.EXE
ROLLER.EXE is a program from the kit, PIECES, by Another
Company. With PIECES, you can create just about anything for
IBM-compatible computing. No programming skill is necessary.
See end of this file for more information about PIECES.
What It Does
ROLLER is a screen effect. After displaying an image, call
ROLLER to fill the screen from top to bottom with a solid
color.
How To Use It
ROLLER requires two parameters, an integer representing color
(see chart below), and an integer representing amount of
time. The amount of time runs nearly the same on various
computers, but may vary with different graphics modes.
Generally, a number from 2 to 40 is good. For example if you
type:
ROLLER.EXE 5 20
at the DOS prompt, in a batch file, or in a PIECES script
file or from within a program the screen will clear to
purple from top to bottom at an average speed.
Colors
The first 16 colors of 16 and 256 color modes usually
correspond to the chart below, but may be changed by .PCX or
.GIF that take control of the color palette:
0 : black
1 : royal blue
2 : forest green
3 : cyan
4 : red
5 : purple
6 : brown
7 : light gray
8 : dark gray
9 : electric blue
10 : light green
11 : sky blue
12 : light red
13 : magenta
14 : yellow
15 : white
Additional Information
If you forget to list numbers after ROLLER.EXE, it will clear
the screen to black.
About Pieces
PIECES is a shareware disk containing several small programs
that can be combined to do a variety of tasks with
a super-professional look and feel. No programming experience
is needed. PIECES can be expanded to incorporate your
favorite programs as well, so it's possibilities for making
and enhancing pictures shows, text presentations, multimedia,
electronic catalogs, teaching materials, executable software,
games, shareware and more are limitless!
You can register as many or as few PIECES as you wish.
Registered users are licensed to copy and distribute the
PIECES along with their finished products. Unregistered
users may copy and distribute the complete unmodified PIECES
package, but may not use only portions of it until purchase
of registration. Use of PIECES beyond 30 days requires
registration.
Most shareware PIECES programs have a "unregistered"
notice which pops up randomly, approximately every 200 times.
This is removed from the registered versions, and also saves
as much as 3,000 bytes disk space per program.
