-------------------------------

What's Eye:
it's an Amiga implementation of the famous XEye that you can see on every
X-Window terminal or Mac. Just run it and a couple of eyes will follow
your mouse pointer from the screen.
Usage from the CLI:
just type "Eye" to run it with default parameters or specify any of these
qualifiers to change something:
X: coordinate of the left edge of the window;
Y: coordinate of the top edge of the window;
Width: width of the window;
Height: height of the window;
PupilRay: size of the pupils (as percentage of the whole eyes);
Strabism: percentage of strabism;
PupilColor: color of the pupils;
ScleroticColor: color of the sclerotic;
MakeUpColor: color of the eyes' border;
BgColor: background color;
TaskPri: Eye's task priority;
PubScreen: name of the public screen where to open the window (it's case
sensitive).
By default Eye assumes the following parameters:
Eye X=150 Y=0 Width=59 Height=34 Strabism=0 PupilRay=45 PupilColor=1
ScleroticColor=2 MakeUpColor=1 DefaultBg=0 TaskPri=0 PubScreen=Workbench
(on hires non-laced screens its default size is Width=63 Height=26)
Type "Eye help" to get a help message.
Usage from the Workbench:
double click on the icon. If you want to modify some parameters, click
once on the icon and select Icons/Information from the Workbench menu, then
edit the tool types. The available tool types are the same as the
parameters from the shell (as well as the default values).
An example set of tool types is:
X=50
Y=50
Width=200
Height=100
PubScreen=Workbench
Interactive features:
Whenever the Eye's window is selected, clicking the menu button pops up a
requester with some informations about this program. Moreover clicking on
the eyes or inserting/removing disks makes the pupils rotate and the tiny
gadget near the bottom right corner of the window behaves exactly like the
usual size gadget.
Requirements:
Eye only requires you to have an Amiga with at least kickstart version 36
and a little free memory (less than 17 kbytes with the default size, plus
an eventual 3.5 kbytes for the math libraries).
If you have too little memory for Eye to allocate its bitmaps, it will just
quit. This may happen even when you resize it and not only when you first
start it, anyway you will be warned with a requester if it's possible.
Bugs:
DON'T CHANGE THE HUNK STRUCTURE!!! The manipulations of the SegList made
to let this program run as a background process need the first hunk to be
EXACTLY as it is! This program can be unharmfully compressed but without
hunk merging.
About:
Eye 2.0 was written by Massimiliano Hofer and is "cardware", if you like it
