- Hi from the RAJ (a.k.a. Robin Jubber)
-
- (May 1993) !help file for !ON
-
- Risc OS 3.1 on my A3010 allows dithering of screen modes with
- less then 16 colours. This may work under Risc OS 2.00 but I
- don't know for sure. This facility means that all output to
- window borders, scrollbars etc. is dithered to generate a
- clearer display. However, some non-multisync modes such as
- 15 seem to retain this dithering. On my expensive monitor, this
- makes the colours look bad, and presumably slows down the CPU
- as well. This utility sits on the scrollbar humming away to
- itself until you click on it. SELECT turns on dithering and
- MENU turns it off again. I suppose it works properly but I
- don't fully understand why. This software is not PD at all but
- in fact NOT-A-HOPE-Ware. This new breakthrough in marketing
- means that if you think this software is the best thing for
- your Archimedes since fluffy mice covers then please feel free
- to rob a bank and send me the proceeds. I figure in my innocence
- that if just one person feels a twinge of guilt at using !ON
- then I should wind up with a lorra, lorra money. Unless they
- rob NatWest in which case I'll wind up with a huge credit note
- from Robert Maxwell. (satire)

- Only run one version of !ON at a time. Sometimes quitting if
- two versions are running causes the machine to hang but I
- don't yet know enough about Risc OS to understand why.
- So don't quit it or run 2 versions or abuse sheep and
- everything will be lovely and covered in flowers.
-
- Byeee!
- P.S. version 2 of !ON will probably feature parallax scrolling.
