Just a few days ago I downloaded "Second Reality" from the net. The programmers wont the first prize at the '93 US Assembly competition. One of the many interesting things in the program was a magnifing lens simulator. So that's where I got the idea.
This is a Q.D. app which runs on System 7 and up, and with at least 5 Megs of available RAM. It is a FAT program meaning that it contains both 68K and PowerPC instructions.
In low memory situations the application just quits. In this case try increasing it's memory partition.
To change settings, hold down the command key when double clicking on the application. To quit the program, click once with the mouse or press 'Q'.
This app is funware meaning that it's a fun and free thing. Feel free to distribute it (including this document), but do not charge for it.
Also, I will not be responsible for any data loss or money loss resulting from data loss. In other words use it at your own risk.
Note: If you have more than one monitor connected to your Mac, the lens will be displayed on the main monitor (with the menu bar). A second screen would greatly increase the program's memory requirements.
For source code, and comments e-mail me: mathez@aol.com
P.S.
If you give a good reason why you need the source then I will send the whole thing, but if not, then you will get only the animation part (with CopyBits).
