@database Fibonacci @remark $VER: Fibonacci AmigaGuide® doc file v1.0 @node main "Fibonacci" Fibonacci is a small program for calculating Fibonacci's numbers. It is intended solely for entertainment purposes. It was written by me, JIPsoft (Joona I Palaste) in April 1998 with DICE C. Further info: - @{"Installation" link "install"} - @{"Usage " link "use"} - @{"Requirements" link "require"} - @{"Author " link "author"} - @{"Copyrights " link "copyrights"} - @{"History " link "history"} @endnode @node install "Installation" Installation is simple: copy the files to wherever you want to. The program file "Fibonacci" is the only file you need to run the program. @endnode @node use "Usage" Fibonacci is used from the CLI. Its template is as follows: Fibonacci n=number/n/a,o=outfile/k,q=quiet/s You must supply at least the number parameter, which tells the program which number to calculate (integers from 2 onwards). If you supply the outfile parameter (you must state the keyword o or outfile), the program will try to write the result into the specified file. If no outfile is specified, or writing fails, the result will be printed to StdOut. If the "quiet" keyword is not specified, the program will report the progress of calculating Fibonacci's numbers over 50 with a string of 50 dots. If the keyword is specified, only the result is printed, regardless of the calculated number. @endnode @node require "Requirements" Fibonacci requires: - An Amiga® computer. - Workbench 2.0 or above - The library dos.library (should be included in any Workbench 2.x). - Electricity. @endnode @node author "Author" I, the author of "Fibonacci" am named Joona I Palaste, am 21 years old, male, and live in Espoo, Finland. I have made many programs on the Amiga before, but this is my first real Intuition C program.
