  16.  
  17. The CIRC.ARC file contains two executables (sorry, no icons):
  18.  
  19. Circ_1  ............       Move the mouse SLOWLY around the screen.
  20.  
  21.                            Try starting below and to the right of
  22.                            the big circle.
  23.                            
  24.                            Move the mouse, then let it come to
  25.                            rest.  You see, you're generating an
  26.                            enormous amount of MOUSEMOVES so watch
  27.                            what happens when the Amiga starts to
  28.                            catch up!
  29.                            
  30.                            There are spots on the screen that are
  31.                            "in tune" and other spots that are
  32.                            "out of tune"!
  33.                            
  34.                            Don't forget to click the mouse from
  35.                            time to time...just to scramble things
  36.                            some more.
  37.                            
  38.                            All the screen gadgets are there.  You
  39.                            just can't see them.
  40.                            
  41.                        *   To QUIT:  
  42.                            
  43.                            1)  Move the pointer over on top
  44.                                of the CLOSE gadget (extreme upper-
  45.                                left hand corner of window).
  46.                            2)  Wait 'til the circle becomes a solid
  47.                                color.
  48.                            3)  Click the left mouse button.
  49.                            
  50.                            4)  If it doesn't work, try again.
  51.                                Remember, the mouse must be still
  52.                                for this maneuver, both before and
  53.                                after the click.
  54.                                
  55. Circ_2  ............       This one, too, thrives on MOUSEMOVES.
  56.                            This time, the Amiga is taking the
  57.                            'X' and 'Y' coordinates of where you've
  58.                            moved the mouse to and is turning those
  59.                            numbers into a unique multi-colored
  60.                            pattern.
  61.                            
  62.                            To complicate matters, we're generating
  63.                            random APen, BPen and OPens each time
  64.                            a circle is drawn.
  65.                            
  66.                            Click the mouse to change the 32 color
  67.                            table.
  68.                            
  69.                            Hit any key to freeze/unfreeze the display.
  70.                            
  71.                            Try moving the mouse to the left-hand
  72.                            extreme of the window and/or the upper
  73.                            extreme of the window.  This will 
  74.                            generate a low x/y number and, hence,
  75.                            a relatively simple pattern.
  76.                            
  77.                            Again, all the screen gadgets are there
  78.                            including the CLOSE GADGET.
  79.                            
  80.                            So, click on the invisible CLOSE GADGET
  81.                            to QUIT.
  82.                            
  83.                            
  84. It may be best if you turn out the lights for these.
  85.  
  86. And, if you're so inclined, a Dead tape might be in order.
