StarInfo/Adcock/!Glass/!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.

!Help File for !Glass ===================== (By Mark Adcock 15/3/98) Website: http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Haven/3344 Email: adcock@intonet.co.uk At the prompt, enter the path of a mode 13 sprite or press return to use a default. A magnifying glass will bounce around the screen. Hold select and use the mouse to move it around. Trying changing the variable "var". A larger value means that the program tries to cram more of the original picture in to the circle. If you really want a laugh remove the lines "SYS 6,19" all the way up to "CALL Plot". This stops the program erasing previous magnifying glasses.
