- Most of the programs in this file were created by Randy Warner
- and BC Computing except where noted. Those written by RW/BCC are
- to be considered as 'share ware'. That means- if you like it and
- would like to get a copy of the source code, additional updates,
- and any additional documentation, please consider sending a token
- of your gratitude to:

- In most cases, $5.00 or $10.00 will just be enough to help me cover
- any costs for paper, disks, time invested, etc.
-
- The reason why I ask for donations is because I am an EXTREMELY POOR
- Atari developer... BUT... don't let that make you feel obligated...
- If you decide to donate, or not to donate, I'm sure that your reasons
- are justified. Please keep in mind that if you do choose to donate, I
- will send you copies of the latest versions and the associated source
- code.
-
- Thanks for bearing with me thru the 'advertisement'...
-
- BC Computing stands for "Barely Coherent" Computing, and NOT "Before
- Christ" Computing...that's just in case you were wondering. It's supposed
- to be an inside joke... because friends of mine joked that my code was,
- in most cases, "...heavily commented." My response was- "Well, gee. That
- just makes it 'Barely Coherent' then, doesn't it?" And thus- our name
- was born...
-
- Here's a 'barely coherent' rundown on the files contained in this .ARC
- file:
-
- WIPEDEMO.LST - FREE CODE! A demonstration of a video effect to wipe
- the screen with color(s). Experiment with it...
- Supports ALL resolutions.
-
- EPENCIL.PRG - A primitive doodlers sketchpad. Intuitive mouse
- Ver. 2.0 controlled 'mini-menu' system makes it easy to use,
- and virtually KID-CRASH-PROOF. (It even passed the
- Alex test...a local kid who should be every
- programmers educational/childrens software tester;
- he can crash just about anything!).
- More features are being added to Ver. 3.0 to allow
- solid fills, rubber band lines, k-lines, circles,
- ellipses, boxes, multiple editing screens,
- multiple colors, tools, fill-patterns, cutting and
- pasting, saving as .NEO or DEGAS (all resolutions)
- or saving as user includable .LST files for using your
- doodles in your own programs. Supports all
- resolutions...This program is share ware. Any comments
- or suggestions are encouraged and appreciated!
-
- 3BOXDEMO.PRG - Small animated boxes demo. The program can be exited
- by clicking BOTH mouse buttons silmultaneously. This
- program is share ware. Medium RES...
-
- RBOXDEMO.PRG - Similar to above. Displays a twisting box. This
- program can be exited by pressing ANY key... This
- program is share ware. Medium RES...
-
- RESETPAL.PRG - Restores the default ST system color pallette, does
- correct color descrepencies when using Gfa to switch
- between resolutions. Code can be used to manage color
- pallette resetting after applications are run (before
- you exit to the desktop). THe example code can be
- found within the file WIPEDEMO.LST... This file is
- included as a stand alone application so that you may
- fix the system color pallette after exiting sloppily
- programmed applications...(get the hint boys?). Works
- in ALL resolutions (althought it's probably not
- necessary to use this for High RES).
-
- GFASPIRO.PRG - A facinating and 'firey' random spirograph program.
- Sometimes the images are complex, sometimes fractured
- and broken...that's the nature, and the beauty of
- randomness! Instructions: Left mouse button to see
- the next spirograph, right to exit the program. This
- program is share ware and will appear on the NEXT
- ACCA (Atari Computer Club of Anchorage) monthly disk.
- Low resolution ONLY...
