name: Australia author: Keith Gaughan size: 274 bytes needs: A computer? Seriously, just RISC OS 3 - may work on RISC OS 2 descr.: Makes your screen go all antipodean. ˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜ This was inspired by a silly for Whinedoze eMpTy which one of my friends sent to me. The program was called Australia and did much the same thing as this one. The thing was, it was about 128k long if I remember correctly which I thought was just a little excessive - so I wrote this. Run the program and northern hemisphere users'll see what it's like to use RISC OS in the southern hemisphere and southern hemisphere users will be treated to a similar view. When you're sick of seeing how the other half lives, just click the mouse. Bugs ˜˜˜˜ This doesn't seem to be a bug of mine, but one belonging to WindowManager 3.98 (for RISC OS 3.1 - the only version of RISC OS I can test it on). Unlike with WindowManager 3.16 which seems to have no problems with the program, WindowManager 3.98 will go into an infinite loop if you try and redraw part of an icon which is partially off the screen. Watchdog is rendered useless by the bug - it just refuses to work. I don't know what is causing the bug to occur, but I'd be pleased if somebody could tell me.
