- Hi -
-
- Here is DK, a little display hack I have been working on for much
- longer than my family would like. I still haven't got all the features
- included that I would like to have, but I'm going to be away from Amy next
- week and I want to get it posted. Lotsa folks out there who can improve on
- it. Released to the Public Domain, distribute freely, but not for profit.
-
- In the Credit Where Credit Is Due department, the inspiration for this
- idiocy came from Leo Schwab's inane but wonderful creations -- if you
- haven't downloaded them yet, search the library for his name and do so
- immediately. DK is minor league stuff compared to some of his (notably
- ROBOTROFF). Credit also to TDI Modula-2 version 3.00a, with which this was
- compiled (it won't compile under earlier versions). A fine system. I'm
- including the source in the ARC. (ARC.023 used to ARC file).
-
- Finally, I suggest you run DK per the instructions below *FIRST*,
- before you look at the source, as some of the fun is in the surprise.
-
- INSTRUCTIONS:
-
- 1. Make sure there is nothing on your CLI screen you care about
-
- 2. After UN-ARCing, simply type `dk <return>' from the CLI
-
- 3. Be patient - it takes a minute to get going
-
- 4. Control will be returned to you when DK is done
-
-
- Have fun,
-

- Added a close gadget to DK. However be warned that DK! is a memory
- hog and I couldn't figure out how to free all the memory DK! eats.
-
- Also added command line qualifier for the amount of 'snowflakes'
-
- USAGE: DK! 1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9
-
- Default is 1 and anything over 4 or 5 is not esthetic
-
- Enjoy,
- RAD
