- ABOUT SWIPE.EXE
-
- SWIPE.EXE is a program from the kit, PIECES, by Another
- Company. With PIECES, you can create just about anything for
- IBM-compatible computing. No programming skill is necessary.
- See end of this file for more information about PIECES.
-
- What It Does
-
- SWIPE is a screen effect. After displaying an image, call
- swipe to fill the screen from left to right with a solid
- color.
-
- How To Use It
-
- SWIPE requires two parameters, an integer representing color
- (see chart below), and an integer representing amount of
- time. The amount of time runs nearly the same on various
- computers, but may vary with different graphics modes.
- Generally, a number from 2 to 40 is good. For example if you
- type:
-
- SWIPE.EXE 3 20
-
- at the DOS prompt, in a batch file, or in a PIECES script
- file or from within a program the screen will clear to cyan
- from left to right at an average speed.
-
- Colors
-
- The first 16 colors of 16 and 256 color modes usually
- correspond to the chart below, but may be changed by .PCX or
- .GIF that take control of the color palette:
-
- 0 : black
- 1 : royal blue
- 2 : forest green
- 3 : cyan
- 4 : red
- 5 : purple
- 6 : brown
- 7 : light gray
- 8 : dark gray
- 9 : electric blue
- 10 : light green
- 11 : sky blue
- 12 : light red
- 13 : magenta
- 14 : yellow
- 15 : white

- Additional Information
-
- If you forget to list numbers after SWIPE.EXE, it will clear
- the screen to black.
