This program generates a DKB .DAT file containing a DECLAREd
gear based on user defined variables. An outline of the gear is
displayed in graphics mode.
To quote a buddy on user code modifications "You break it, you own
both halves". If you make any enhancements, please add your notes to
this document (and please send a copy back to me via BBS).
I can be reached at YOU CAN CALL ME RAY RBBS (708) 358-5611.

Enclosed are the following files:
GEAR.BAS QuickBASIC source
GEAR.EXE MS-DOS executable
GEAR.DOC This file
GEARSAMP.DAT Sample gear scene
Tooth type (Pointed/Flat) : Currently only supports P.
Wheel type (Disk/Spokes) : Can be either flat disk with holes carved
out or spokes.
Number of teeth : What it says.
Gear Radius from center: Radius to midpoint of tooth. This makes
it easy to measure center points of
MESHED gears (why would you only have 1?).
Disk/Spoke Thicknes from center: Usually thinner here than in hardened
teeth & hub.
Tooth Height : Hieght of tooth itself.
Tooth&Hub Thickness from center: Usually thicker than its support.
Axel Radius from center: "How big is the hole used to mount it?"
Hole/Spoke Multiple : Number of teeth per hole-carved-out-of-disk
or per spoke. Note: Lower numbers = more
holes/spokes, but fewer frames needed for
rotation.
Applications notes: The gear is designed with the origin in
its center. What more can I say?
