JanusNode Quick Start

How is this JanusNode run?

Getting your JanusNode to generate prose (free-form poetry) is simple, if you already own the necessary electronic symbiot: a Macintosh PowerPC. If you do, download a JanusNode by clicking on the link to the left, if you don't already have one.

Got one? OK: Activate the software robot by double-clicking on its icon.

When you activate it, your JanusNode automatically resets itself into text-generation mode. It will ask you to pick the TextDNA files you want to use, or (if there is only one useable TextDNA file, the default shipping mode) then it will automatically load that file.

Click on the icon of Janus.

  1. You will be prompted for the number of lines that you want the robot to manufacture. Enter that number, and click 'OK'. (If you are running the default introductory TextDNA, leave the number of lines at 100. It won't produce that much, but you may miss part of the introduction if you set that number too low.)
  2.  
  3. You can command your JanusNode to enter a static receptive state at any time by holding down the command key and the period (.) key. When it is in this state, your JanusNode silently awaits your next command.
  4.  

Your JanusNode has many surprising and powerful features that will leave you wondering how you ever lived without your own JanusNode before. These are described at length in this documentation.  2s.com/graphix/twomain.jpg&8&8http://www.genobyte.com/images/cell_sm.jpg%8%8http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/informix.gif88http://invis.free.anonymizer.com:80/http://ad.preferences.com/image;spac, 2l^2PMwp
