- !AngleConv (v1.04) -- © Graham Hick, 1994
- -------------------------------------------
-
- This program is a (hopefully) useful tool to convert between various angular
- units - it needs very little explanation. When the program has loaded, click
- on the icon on the icon bar to display the program's window. Simply type the
- number you wish to convert into the relevent box, and press Return.
-
- Unfortunately some inaccuracies can arise, especially when converting to and
- from radians (due to finite accuracy (shame...))
-
- 3D templates
- ------------
-
- A new exciting (?) feature of this release is the addition of 3D-style
- templates for RISC OS 3.10 users. This feature should be automatically
- invoked if you have RISC OS 3.10 or later. If for some strange reason this
- doesn't work, please let me know.
-
- Hi-res sprites
- --------------
-
- If you are in a high-res mode (i.e. 1:1 pixel aspect ratio) when the program
- starts, it will load high-resolution versions of the sprites which it uses.
- As I can't use all screen modes (I only have a VGA monitor) and I haven't
- tested it with third-party screen modes (such as those provided by whizzy
- graphics cards) I can't guarantee that this works with your set-up. If it
- doesn't, then please let me know, and tell me what screen mode(s) you are
- using, so I can figure something out.
-
- Changes
- -------
-
- 1.01:
- First release version.
-
- 1.02:
- Bug fixed in Wimp_Poll loop, which stopped F12 working when typing
- into a box.
-
- Decent error routines implemented. It doesn't need to redraw the
- whole screen when an error occurs.
-
- 1.03:
- Added 3D templates for RISC OS 3.10, and hi-res sprites. Moved
- application's sprites into private sprite area (rather than Wimp
- sprite pool...)
-
- 1.04:
- Modified templates, supporting P in indirection string.
-
- Copyright?
- ----------
-
- Well, this program is "Freeware". As far as I am concerned, this means that
- you can distribute it to anyone and everyone, PROVIDING that all files within
- the !AngleConv directory are included, and they are in their original form.
-
- If you feel that you could do better, then your modifications/hacks/patches/
- insults will be gratefully received (see below). Please don't pass modified
- versions around to anyone else, as this can lead to large amounts of
- confusion.
