- 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.
