This is version 1.0 of a display hack I call `startle'. It must be run
from the CLI with the following syntax:
startle <textfile> [font name] [point size] [colour]
Included is a sample text file called `hype'. If you want to change the font
it uses, try: `startle hype garnet 9', where hype is the name of the text
file included. The colour parameter is 3 hexadecimal digits (rgb) and the
default is ff0 (bright yellow). You can't specify a colour without specify-
ing the stuff before it, so to change only the colour you have to type in:
startle <textfile> topaz 8 <new colour>
Any keystroke or left mouse button depress terminates it.
I won't tell you what it does, but you could always cheat by reading the
hype file, but that would spoil the fun. As always, I welcome suggestions,
bug reports, wish lists, and junk mail.
