OODLES OF DOODLES! Version 1.0002

     That's just what MCDOODLE is. This is a collection of VGA
(640 x 480 bits) color graphic doodles, math formulas and
routines I have collected over the years. Some are my creation,
some are not. Those that are not, are from magazines, books, BBS
uploads, or other Public Domain code. If you should recognize one
of them as yours, it's either a coincidence or it's yours. If it
should happen to be your (somewhat modified) code, I hope you
don't mind that I have spread it all over the globe. And if you
do, please let me know and I'll take it out.
     A time delay routine is utilized that uses the speed of the
PC in calculation of the speed of the doodle, so they should run
at about the same speed on a 386SX 16 MHz and a Pentium 100 MHz.

     MCDOODLE will also be uploaded to various On-line services
and BBS's as a FREE Public Domain program, so if you should see a
newer version (check file date) than the one included with this
copy of MicroCook, you can just download it, and replace it.
Making sure to copy the TXT and EXE file over the older version.
I'll be adding new doodles as I find or "invent" them.

     MCDOODLE.EXE is now separated from MicroCook. A new option
is added in MicroCook's Setup. This option adds lots of new and
exciting possibilities. You can now use MCDOODLE as the MicroCook
screen saver, OR you can use your own. Maybe even load a scanned
picture of your children into a viewer. You can also load and run
MCDOODLE from DOS or load it from an other program as a screen
saver there. 
     
     To use MCDOODLE.EXE alone from DOS, you can have the program
pick randomly which doodles that are displayed, display them in
sequence, or just display one all the time. By loading the
program as just MCDOODLE, the random order is used. If you load
as MCDOODLE 99, all the doodles will be displayed in sequence. To
just use one doodle over and over again, type in the doodle
number after MCDOODLE. To find the high number of doodles
included, type: MCDOODLE ?, or MCDOODLE HELP

     To use an other screen saver with MicroCook, change the name
in Setup to the name of the file that executes the screen saver.
This could be either an EXE, COM or a BAT file. Be sure to type
in the file name completely in Setup. The file MUST be located in
the same directory as MCOOK.EXE, but if you use a batch file
(BAT) to load it, you can load it from almost anywhere. 
     
     When the screen saver is loaded, MicroCook is still loaded
in memory, so if the recipe database is large, and the screen
saver is a large program, you might run out of memory.

     If you should have any doodles written in any of the BASIC
dialects, and it runs in VGA screen mode 12, to have it included
in MCDOODLE, please contact me. 

     The MCDOODLE.EXE comes "as-is" which means that you are not
allowed to complain about it :-) BUT, if you should have any
problems or questions regarding MCDOODLE, please send me a note
via e-mail.

Enjoy!
