Simple, fun and addictive! VERSION This is version 05. Fixes a minor bug affecting level of detail in drawing spiro-designs. Also added checking for WB 1.3 OS and informing the user that arp.library is required to load/save if being run on a WB 1.3 system and not present in the LIBS: directory. COMPANY No company, just an AMINET upload by "yours truly". AUTHOR SpiroDraw05 was written by me, Chuck Kenney. My particulars (address, etc.) are included in the user document in the archive. DESCRIPTION SpiroDraw05 simulates the Wheels-and-Rings-and-Pens spirograph drawing toy. Allows the user to specify different sizes for the "Drawing Wheels, Drawing Rings", etc. The use of a computer to generate the SpiroDraw designs actually enhances some of the capabilities! SpiroDraw05 is mouse-driven (MENUs, GADGETs, etc.) and provides an easy way to create one's own 'eye-candy'. It is fun _and_ addictive! SpiroDraw05.lha also contains a very nice freely distributable "screen-to-IFF" saver utility written by Preben Nielsen (thanks, Preben) so that SpiroDraw designs can be imported into "paint" programs. SpiroDraw05 is shareware but does not nag the user in any way and all features are fully functional. NEW FEATURES Now tests if it is running on WB 1.3 and if so, informs the user that arp.library is required to perform "Load" and "Save" if it is not already present in the LIBS: directory. Also corrected a minor bug relating to the user-specified detail of the SpiroDraw design to be created. SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS There are no special requirements that I know of. SpiroDraw05 has been tested on an A2000HD (OS 2.1) and an A1000 (OS 1.3). HOST NAME SpiroDraw05.lha has just been uploaded to the AMINET site, ftp.etsu.edu (192.43.199.20) and should soon be available on all other AMINET sites. DIRECTORY SpiroDraw05.lha and SpiroDraw05.readme resides in the "aminet/gfx/misc" directory. FILE NAMES SpiroDraw05.lha is 57,975 bytes long. PRICE The asking shareware price is the amount sent to me by my first sharware contributor (Thanks go to Bill from Glendale, AZ!). This requested shareware fee is $5.00 (US). DISTRIBUTABILITY This program is freely distributable but is a copyrighted (1994) shareware program by me, Chuck Kenney. OTHER SpiroDraw05, and other programs in progress are coming out of my basement as a result of the availability of a truly wonderful "BASIC-but-much-more!" compiler, "ACE" by David Benn. I would like to sincerely thank Mr. Benn for renewing my enthusiasm in programming and for making it possible for me to make my programs available to more than just my friends and immediately family! -- Read all administrative posts before putting your post up.
