This is Startle, submitted by: Hobie Orris (hobie@sq.com).
We've tested it and it works. We have assigned no archive volume
number to this posting as we don't have control of the archives yet.
When we get control, we will archive everything and then post a
directory of where everything was placed.

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