                            About CyrClox
                            _____________

CyrClox is a Screen Saver program designed to produce an analogue 
clock face which has a range of interesting effects in shapes 
and colours. The effects are controlled by a large number of 
random factors, and are progressive, meaning that you should 
always be seeing an interesting, new, changing clock! The clock 
face effect changes automatically approximately every three 
minutes, providing a clock which is fascinating to watch. 

CyrClox is designed to run on Windows 3.X and Windows 95. 
Although it is a small program, some of the mathematical and 
graphic effects do require a fairly fast machine (fast 486 or 
Pentium recommended). It requires at least 256 colour support, 
and looks much better with 16 bit colour support. 24 bit colour 
gives the best possible effects.


                         How to set up CyrClox
                         ____________________

Under either Windows '95 or Windows 3.X: Copy the file CyrClox.scr 
into the \windows\system directory. Then follow the normal Windows 
procedure for setting up a screen saver. (See your Windows manual 
if you're not sure.)



			The Freeware Concept
			____________________

This product is Freeware. ie we are distributing it for anyone's use 
and interest. No charge is made for the program whatsoever. However, 
if you find it interesting or useful, please send an e-mail to let 
us know.



			Background:
			__________

This program is a spin-off of a programming exercise first undertaken 
over five years ago. It has grown slowly over the years, being 
re-visited and revised on several occasions. The maths which controls 
the shapes and colours is very interesting if you like that sort of 
thing. Some of them are very obvious, some not so. 

Any user interested in an explanation of the way the shapes and 
colours are derived for any particular pattern should get in touch.


			Specialised versions:
			____________________

If you have requirements for any variations on this program, we 
would be happy to think about it. We have been asked about a version 
which displayed a company logo. We would even consider supplying 
the source code for your own projects, given a good reason.

			Change History:
			______________

Version 3.1 has a few minor bug fixes, and some optimization of the 
code, resulting in a slightly smaller program! How many new versions 
of programs can claim that?

Version 3.2 changed the program name from Clox to CyrClox. This 
stresses our company name and avoids confusion with an unrelated 
shareware product from another company.
