Autovalues/!PCD_Holes/!Help

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

The boring bit
--------------

This program can be distributed freely but only in its complete state. It must
not be modified and all files must be included. If it is to be distributed as
part of a package acknowledgment must be given to the author. No charge for
this software can be made but distribution charges may be covered.

The good bit
------------

This small utility is for the easy calculation of equally spaced hole centres
on a circular pitch (P.C.D.).

'X' Centre line
---------------
The distance from the datum point in the left to right direction to the centre
of the PCD.

'Y' Centre line
---------------
The distance from the datum point in the front to back direction to the centre
of the PCD.

Start angle
-----------
The distance in degrees to the first hole from the horizontal centre line.

Radius
------
The radius on which the holes are positioned.

How many holes
--------------
The minimum is 2 and the maximum is 999

The filer icon can be dropped onto any application that can accept text. A list
of X,Y coordinates will be saved.
