BC Computing presents:
A Gfa Basic Collection
This collection of programs were written over the course of several
weeks worth of tinkering with Gfa Basic and it's compiler. They were
painstakingly de-bugged ((?) crossing my fingers...) and .ARC'd
(I have a sf354 and a 520 w/512...arrgh!) over the course of one long and
frantic 'typical day off's worth' of programming. A 16 hour days worth of
WORK. Luckily, Gfa makes my life a little easier. I am only just
beginning to learn it's FULL potential...
Gfa Basic Interpreter and Gfa Compiler are (C) 1986 Gfa Systemtecnik
Distributed in the U.S.A. by Michtron, Inc.
EPENCIL2.PRG, GFASPIRO.PRG, RESETPAL.PRG, 3BOXDEMO.PRG, RBOXDEMO.PRG,
and WIPEDEMO.LST are share ware products created by myself - Randy
Warner of BC Computing 05/12/87. All rights reserved.
Public Domain programs are either documented as such within the file:
BCCARC.DOC or within the programs themselves. Please refer to this same
documentation for instructions on program usage, or for best results,
print them out (they're only 2 or 3 pages!)...
If you have one, put a SNAPSHOT desk accessory on the same disk as
GFASPIRO.PRG, as well as the control panel accessory. That'll allow
you to save the pictures in NEO or DEGAS compatible formats so that you
can use the random spirograph images within any artwork or programs you
do... I reccomend the one from Compute's Atari ST magazine... it replaces
the system Alt-Help screen dump to printer with a screen capture buffer.
It only saves one picture at a time, but after pressing Alt-Help, the
screen flashes to let you know that the image has been captured... then
just use the right mouse button to exit GFASPIRO... the image is still in
a screen buffer. Click on the NEO/DEGAS Snapshot accessory again (we're
back at the GEM desktop here...) and it'll ask you what format (NEO/DEG)
you wish to save it in. Save it. Then you can edit it later with
whichever paint program you choose to or you Gfa Basic programmers can
use PIC_CLIP to include them in you own programs... I may add this
feature as a default in future revisions of the program!
Sincerely,
Randy Warner
