- Acechan -- version 1.3 Amiga
-
- Purpose
- ~~~~~~~
- hmmm... good question! Acechan produces datafiles which contain random
- spread information. Use the data as you like, random background noise ??
- Acechan was made for my good friend Acechan :). Acechan requires Workbench
- 2 or higher (but you could modify the source to work with any other system).
-
- Acechan is dedicated to Acechan (of theend) ....:)
-
- Use
- ~~~
-
- From the Shell Acechan has the following template:
-
- MINIMUM/N,MAXIMUM/N,ITERATIONS/N,DP/K/N,RAWONLY/S,SCALE=HASHPER/K/N,
- NOSYSHOG/S,OUTPUTFILE
-
- MINIMUM: The minimum integral value of the range.
- MAXIMUM: The highest value of the range (integer).
- ITERATIONS: Number of data samples to perform. (min 10)
- DP: Number of decimal places to be used in the output. a minus number
- specifies engineering notation should be used.
- RAWONLY: If specified then the 'graphical' representation will not be
- produced, only the raw data will be output to the file.
- HASHPER: In the graphical representation a hash will be output for every
- HASHPER occurances of the item. This implements a scale function.
- NOSYSHOG: If specified then the system will easier to use while Acechan
- does its stuff...
- OUTPUTFILE: File to output to.
-
- If an option is not specified then these are the defaults:
- MINIMUM=1
- MAXIMUM=100
- ITERATIONS=1000
- DP=4
- HASHPER=1
- OUTPUTFILE=acechan.results
-
- Ex/
-
- Acechan 3 123 20000 DP=9 hashper 5 out.txt
- would set the following options:
- MINIMUM=3
- MAXIMUM=123
- ITERATIONS=20000
- DP=9
- HASHPER=5
- OUTPUTFILE=out.txt
-
- All output is put into the OUTPUTFILE, best run the program and take al look at
- the results...
-
- Version History
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- 1.0 : 18.04.95
- - Initial version.
-
- 1.1 : 26.04.95
- - Added RAWONLY/S option. Ace was wanting to run the program with
- ITERATIONS = 10000000... the output file would have been massive...:)
-
- 1.2 : 30.05.95
- - Added HASHPER option so that the graphical representation can be
- limited to a sane scale.
-
- 1.3 : 12.06.95
- - Added "SCALE" as shortcut for "HASHPER".
- - Added "NOSYSHOG"
- - Data file changed:
- - lines which contain comments or secondary data now start with ';'
- - Preferences used when the file was created are printed at the top
- of the file.
