- OODLES OF DOODLES! Version 1.0002
-
- That's just what MCDOODLE is. This is a collection of VGA
- (640 x 480 bits) color graphic doodles, math formulas and
- routines I have collected over the years. Some are my creation,
- some are not. Those that are not, are from magazines, books, BBS
- uploads, or other Public Domain code. If you should recognize one
- of them as yours, it's either a coincidence or it's yours. If it
- should happen to be your (somewhat modified) code, I hope you
- don't mind that I have spread it all over the globe. And if you
- do, please let me know and I'll take it out.
- A time delay routine is utilized that uses the speed of the
- PC in calculation of the speed of the doodle, so they should run
- at about the same speed on a 386SX 16 MHz and a Pentium 100 MHz.
-
- MCDOODLE will also be uploaded to various On-line services
- and BBS's as a FREE Public Domain program, so if you should see a
- newer version (check file date) than the one included with this
- copy of MicroCook, you can just download it, and replace it.
- Making sure to copy the TXT and EXE file over the older version.
- I'll be adding new doodles as I find or "invent" them.
-
- MCDOODLE.EXE is now separated from MicroCook. A new option
- is added in MicroCook's Setup. This option adds lots of new and
- exciting possibilities. You can now use MCDOODLE as the MicroCook
- screen saver, OR you can use your own. Maybe even load a scanned
- picture of your children into a viewer. You can also load and run
- MCDOODLE from DOS or load it from an other program as a screen
- saver there.
-
- To use MCDOODLE.EXE alone from DOS, you can have the program
- pick randomly which doodles that are displayed, display them in
- sequence, or just display one all the time. By loading the
- program as just MCDOODLE, the random order is used. If you load
- as MCDOODLE 99, all the doodles will be displayed in sequence. To
- just use one doodle over and over again, type in the doodle
- number after MCDOODLE. To find the high number of doodles
- included, type: MCDOODLE ?, or MCDOODLE HELP
-
- To use an other screen saver with MicroCook, change the name
- in Setup to the name of the file that executes the screen saver.
- This could be either an EXE, COM or a BAT file. Be sure to type
- in the file name completely in Setup. The file MUST be located in
- the same directory as MCOOK.EXE, but if you use a batch file
- (BAT) to load it, you can load it from almost anywhere.
-
- When the screen saver is loaded, MicroCook is still loaded
- in memory, so if the recipe database is large, and the screen
- saver is a large program, you might run out of memory.
-
- If you should have any doodles written in any of the BASIC
- dialects, and it runs in VGA screen mode 12, to have it included
- in MCDOODLE, please contact me.
-
- The MCDOODLE.EXE comes "as-is" which means that you are not
- allowed to complain about it :-) BUT, if you should have any
- problems or questions regarding MCDOODLE, please send me a note
- via e-mail.
-
- Enjoy!
