Most of the programs in this file were created by Randy Warner
and BC Computing except where noted. Those written by RW/BCC are
to be considered as 'share ware'. That means- if you like it and
would like to get a copy of the source code, additional updates,
and any additional documentation, please consider sending a token
of your gratitude to:

In most cases, $5.00 or $10.00 will just be enough to help me cover
any costs for paper, disks, time invested, etc.
The reason why I ask for donations is because I am an EXTREMELY POOR
Atari developer... BUT... don't let that make you feel obligated...
If you decide to donate, or not to donate, I'm sure that your reasons
are justified. Please keep in mind that if you do choose to donate, I
will send you copies of the latest versions and the associated source
code.
Thanks for bearing with me thru the 'advertisement'...
BC Computing stands for "Barely Coherent" Computing, and NOT "Before
Christ" Computing...that's just in case you were wondering. It's supposed
to be an inside joke... because friends of mine joked that my code was,
in most cases, "...heavily commented." My response was- "Well, gee. That
just makes it 'Barely Coherent' then, doesn't it?" And thus- our name
was born...
Here's a 'barely coherent' rundown on the files contained in this .ARC
file:
WIPEDEMO.LST - FREE CODE! A demonstration of a video effect to wipe
the screen with color(s). Experiment with it...
Supports ALL resolutions.
EPENCIL.PRG - A primitive doodlers sketchpad. Intuitive mouse
Ver. 2.0 controlled 'mini-menu' system makes it easy to use,
and virtually KID-CRASH-PROOF. (It even passed the
Alex test...a local kid who should be every
programmers educational/childrens software tester;
he can crash just about anything!).
More features are being added to Ver. 3.0 to allow
solid fills, rubber band lines, k-lines, circles,
ellipses, boxes, multiple editing screens,
multiple colors, tools, fill-patterns, cutting and
pasting, saving as .NEO or DEGAS (all resolutions)
or saving as user includable .LST files for using your
doodles in your own programs. Supports all
resolutions...This program is share ware. Any comments
or suggestions are encouraged and appreciated!
3BOXDEMO.PRG - Small animated boxes demo. The program can be exited
by clicking BOTH mouse buttons silmultaneously. This
program is share ware. Medium RES...
RBOXDEMO.PRG - Similar to above. Displays a twisting box. This
program can be exited by pressing ANY key... This
program is share ware. Medium RES...
RESETPAL.PRG - Restores the default ST system color pallette, does
correct color descrepencies when using Gfa to switch
between resolutions. Code can be used to manage color
pallette resetting after applications are run (before
you exit to the desktop). THe example code can be
found within the file WIPEDEMO.LST... This file is
included as a stand alone application so that you may
fix the system color pallette after exiting sloppily
programmed applications...(get the hint boys?). Works
in ALL resolutions (althought it's probably not
necessary to use this for High RES).
GFASPIRO.PRG - A facinating and 'firey' random spirograph program.
Sometimes the images are complex, sometimes fractured
and broken...that's the nature, and the beauty of
randomness! Instructions: Left mouse button to see
the next spirograph, right to exit the program. This
program is share ware and will appear on the NEXT
ACCA (Atari Computer Club of Anchorage) monthly disk.
Low resolution ONLY...
