- This is version 1.0 of a display hack I call `startle'. It must be run
- from the CLI with the following syntax:
-
- startle <textfile> [font name] [point size] [colour]
-
- Included is a sample text file called `hype'. If you want to change the font
- it uses, try: `startle hype garnet 9', where hype is the name of the text
- file included. The colour parameter is 3 hexadecimal digits (rgb) and the
- default is ff0 (bright yellow). You can't specify a colour without specify-
- ing the stuff before it, so to change only the colour you have to type in:
-
- startle <textfile> topaz 8 <new colour>
-
- Any keystroke or left mouse button depress terminates it.
-
- I won't tell you what it does, but you could always cheat by reading the
- hype file, but that would spoil the fun. As always, I welcome suggestions,
- bug reports, wish lists, and junk mail.
