HF?P?Z
This configuration file must be kept in the same directory as CYCLOID.
The first line of this file contains commands that you want CYCLOID to run
every time the program is started. The command "HF?P?Z" sets the foreground
hue to a random setting, gives the pen position a random setting, and sounds
a beep. You may change these commands, or make the first line of this file
blank to run no commands at all at startup. Do not erase this file.
The commands must be in Capital letters for the normal CYCLOID commands.
To enter a CTRL-key combination, type a "^" before the command letter. To
enter an ALT-key combination, type a "&" before the command letter. For
example, if you include a "^H" in the first line of this configuration file,
the program will do a Ctrl-H command, changing all the screen colors." If you
want to get rid of the menu and make No-menu be the default setting whenever
the program is Initialized, then include the command "B&I". The "&I" is an
Alt-I command that memorizes the present settings so they will be reset by
the Initialize command.
Another suggested use of this file would be to make the first line read
"HM2F^E" or "HM3HL0SC1.5OO1.5p^E" or just plain "^E". These commands will
cause the program to run various types of continuous random example designs.
There is a shareware program available on various BBS's called ACROSPIN,
which draws and rotates 3-dimensional objects. If you include an "x" in the
first line of this configuration file, CYCLOID will be able to save designs
in a file that ACROSPIN can use. Then whenever you hit X while running
CYCLOID, it will save the last design you drew to a file called 1.FIL (or
2.FIL, etc.), that can be used by ACROSPIN. The file will contain all the
coordinates to draw a 3-dimensional spirograph design. (It saves just the last
drawn image, not the whole screen).
You must put an "x" in the first line of this configuration file in order
to use the X command. Since most people probably don't have that program,
the X key is normally disabled. If you have any other program that works with
wire-frame drawings, you may be able to modify these ACROSPIN files to work
with your program (or send me a copy of your program's image files when you
register and I may be able to modify CYCLOID to create files that work with
your wire-frame program).
