This is version 1.0 of a display hack I call `startle'.
It must be run from the CLI with the following syntax:
startle
<textfile>
[font name]
[point size]
[colour]
Included is a sample text file called `hype'. If you
want to change the font it uses, try: `startle hype
garnet 9', where hype is the name of the text file included.
The colour parameter is 3 hexadecimal digits (rgb) and the
default is ff0
(bright yellow).
You can't specify a colour
without specifying the stuff before it, so to change only the
colour you have to type in:
startle
<textfile>
topaz
8
<new colour>
Any keystroke or left mouse button terminates Startle.
I won't tell you what it does, and you could always cheat
by reading the hype file; but that would spoil the fun.
As always, I welcome suggestions & bug reports.
