- And you thought I was running out of ideas. Welcome to my latest
- endeavor, "Viacom".
-
- Viacom is the name of a cable TV service local to the San Francisco
- Bay Area. This program is more or less a political statement regarding
- their service.
-
- MANUFACTURE
- This is written for the Manx compiler. It *should* work under all
- versions (tested with 3.4b, which will be available RSN). To make the
- program, you say:
-
- 1> make
-
- Easy, isn't it?
-
- USEAGE
- Type 'viacom' at a CLI prompt. It takes no arguments. When done,
- click on the close gadget in Viacom's window. I highly recommend that you
- run it without first trying to determine what it does. It's more fun that
- way.
-
- CAVEATS
- This program has been designed to work with stuff like 'morerows',
- 'DropShadow', etc. However, if you use Viacom with 'DropShadow', it is
- vital that you remember to exit them in the *REVERSE* order in which you
- invoked them. Otherwise, you'll lose your screen. The recommended way of
- doing things is to start 'DropShadow', then start Viacom. When done, exit
- Viacom first, followed by 'DropShadow'. This is necessary because of the
- way both programs muck about with the WorkBench display.
-
- Hope you like it. Oh, and if you work for Viacom, and are insulted
- by this program, I refer you to The First Amendment....
