- Author: Pawel Hernik
- Uploader: spi-ph@srv1.tu.kielce.pl <Pawel Hernik>
- Type: misc/unix
-
- DESCRIPTION:
-
- This is simple scroller for terminals supporting ansi sequences written
- in ansi C under Unix (SunOS) but should work on all systems (even Amiga).
-
- INSTALLATION:
-
- To install type "gzip -d Scroller" and then "sh Scroller"
- (or "chmod 700 Scroller" and "Scroller"). Installer automaticaly writes
- doc, source in current directory and compiles it.
- On Amiga you have to manually cut out source and simply type
- "execute scroller.c" for compiling with SAS C.
-
- USAGE:
-
- scroll [-x<xn>][-y<yn>][-w<wd>][-l<lp>][-d<del>] textfile
- x,y - upper left corner of scroller (1,1)
- w - scroller width (77)
- l - loop counter (1)
- d - delay (0)
-
- Type for example:
- scroll -y18 -w80 -l2 text
-
- Minimal value for x,y,w is 1. Maximal value for width is 200 (if you have
- such wide terminal or use window under XWindows). Height of scroller is
- constant (6 chars). If your terminal is too fast use delay option.
- Without any arguments scroller displays all possible characters.
