- 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).
