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.
