Once Upon A Time There Was A Giant. A huge giant with a large tummy,
frightening sharp teeth and hands of steel. This giant lived in a cave
in the dark woods of Asgaroth. He enjoyed his life very much. Every
day he went out from his cave in order to hunt deer and eat it slowly
and with great pleasure in the evening. Of course it was hard for him
in the beginning to hunt deer because he was such a big creature.
Everybody could see him from a mile away. What he had to achieve was
high speed. And so he trained very hard every day, running ten miles
: up and down the highland near the forest. He always measured the time :
: he took. With the years, it started to improve. In the end, he gained :
: such a speed that he could catch every deer no matter how fast it was. :
: The people who visited Asgaroth soon started telling legends about :
: this quick giant. One day the mighty god Thor learned about it. Thor :
: was the fastest of the gods and was sure that he would beat such a fat :
giant easily. Thus Thor made the journey to the giants realm. He
stood straight in front of the cave and brandished his dangerous
looking axe. Giant! Thor, your master, is waiting for you. I heard
: that you are quick. So, lets have a running competition. The winner :
: is the one who reaches the big lark at the other end of the forest :
: first. If you lose, I will kill you! This did not impress the giant :
: much: Ah well, okay, lets start. And the two heroes ran. There were :
: many obstacles in the path, which Thor could easily surpass using his :
: axe. This advantage the giant did not have. But he did what he could. :
And at the end, when the path got clearer, the giant really started :
rushing - and reached the end sooner than the god. Incredible, said
the god, you are indeed faster than me. Well, I will not only let you
live no, all the surrounding area, including the next few villages,
are from now on your area. The giant thanked Thor and reigned over
his country wisely. The period of his reign was so just and peaceful
that he, the giant who beat the great god Thor in a running
competition, is still in our memories today. His name was: Hugi.

KICKSTART
You should read this before you start.
The Interface was designed to work no matter what is wrong with it or
with the users computer. If the Interface enters a fullscreen mode
: and hangs this happens e.g. on S3 Trio, first try the /hicolor :
: switch to limit it to high-color mode, and if this wont help, you can :
: still run it in windowed mode using the /windowed switch. In critical :
: situations you can try /noeffects and /novsync switches also if your :
PC is slow.
If the attached modules/songs consume too much processor time complex
: modules can work slow even on PII, try to limit the music quality :
: with /22 /8 /mono and /11 switches these correspond to 22kHz, 8bit, :
: mono output and 11kHz. You can also disable music or overall sound :
: with /nomusic and /nosound switches, respectively. :
Please report any bugs to cdragan@ams.ampr.org
Comments positive or negative are also welcome.
STARTING THE INTERFACE
Typically the Interface chooses the highest possible mode depth i.e.
number of Bits Per Pixel. The depth may be 8bpp palettized, 16bpp
including RGB555, 24bpp or 32bpp.
If the Interface runs slowly weak processor or if there are problems
with a true color mode 24 or 32bpp, the user may choose to limit the
depth to maximum 16bpp using /hicolor switch.
In some cases the Interface may not want to run at all in fullscreen
mode, and the user may choose to run it in a windowed mode, using
/windowed or /gui switch.
There are some special effects in the Interface, such as smooth
scrolling or cross-fading. If these effects are too slow or cause
crashes, the user may disable them using the /noeffects switch.
: The user may want to disable sound from some reason bugs in player, :
: listens to CD audio, etc.. The /nosound switch disables all sound, :
: /nomusic only music and /nosfx only sound effects. :
: If the user has a very slow hardware, or the tunes used with the :
: Interface have lots of channels, the user might want to decrease the :
: quality of music, gaining some free processor cycles. This can be :
: accomplished with the following switches: :
: /8 - sets music output to 8-bit by default 16-bit is used, :
/mono - sets music output to mono by default stereo is used,
/22 - sets output frequency to 22050Hz by default 44100 is used,
/11 - sets output frequency to 11025Hz.
The /8 switch has effect only if the Interface uses the BASS module
player. The /mono switch does not affect FMOD module player. Note
that the Interface can use three music systems: an internal one that
plays only XMs not all!, external BASS or external FMOD. This Hugi
: issue uses BASS and the internal player. :
: The Interface was designed to take advantage of mouse wheels. This :
: cute invention enhances scrolling capabilities, but unfortunately has :
: three different standards. If the mouse program sends WMVSCROLL :
: messages, the user may wish to create a vertical scrollbar to handle :
: these messages. This can be accomplished with /weirdwheel switch. The :
: other two handling techniques are done automatically. The /weirdwheel :
: switch is only needed on WinNT 3.x and Win95. :
: The Interface can play external tunes. For this purpose there is the :
/music switch, after which the path and name of a module must be
specified. One can also use /xm switch, which uses the internal
player, capable of playing only XM tunes.
As no page flipping is used, the Interface waits for the vertical
retrace before drawing anything. To skip this waiting and gather some
milliseconds, the user may specify the /novsync switch. Doing this,
however, can decrease quality in some cases if there is no hardware
blitter, synchronizing with vertical retrace does not matter anyway.
In case you do not know, Windows applications can have switches
entered at commandline, just like in DOS or Linux. Accessing the
command line is accomplished through the Run command from the Start
menu or in Shortcut properties right-click on a shortcut, then enter
the switches after the program name.
NAVIGATING
It is easy to navigate through articles both with mouse and keyboard.
As there are two types of articles, ones with contiguous contents, and
ones with fixed-height pages that can contain columns, the techniques
of scrolling them differ a bit.
To scroll a typical contiguous article, the user may:
- use up/down arrows, which select links and scroll articles
vertically by a fixed small amount typically a line,
- use page up/page down keys to scroll articles by a page,
- press space key to precisely scroll articles down,
- roll the mouse wheel which scrolls articles in a way depending on
the wheel settings,
- move mouse cursor to the upper or lower edge of the screen, to
scroll articles by a line,
: - drag the progressbar scrollbar thumb to quickly position articles, :
: - click on the progressbar beyond the thumb to cause scrolling by a :
: page, :
: - press home or end key to scroll an article to the beginning or to :
: the end. :
: To scroll an article with fixed positions e.g. with columns, the :
: user may: :
: - use up/down arrows, which select links and scroll articles :
: vertically by a page, :
: - use page up/page down keys to scroll articles by a page, :
: - use left/right arrows, which scroll articles left or right by a :
: column only if there are at least two columns, :
: - roll the mouse wheel to scroll articles up or down by a page per :
threshold,
- move mouse cursor to the upper or lower edge of the screen, to
scroll articles by a line,
- move mouse cursor to the left or right edge of the screen, to scroll
articles left or right by a column,
- drag the progressbar scrollbar thumb to quickly position articles,
- click on the progressbar beyond the thumb to cause scrolling by a
page,
- press home or end key to scroll an article to the beginning or to
the end.
Some other legacy key combinations also exist:
- shift+arrow down/up work like page down/up,
- ctrl+home and ctrl+end work like home and end,
- ctrl+page up and ctrl+page down also work like home and end,
- left and right in single-column articles scroll by a page up and
down.
The user may move between visible links either using left and down
arrow keys, or pointing the links with mouse. To enter activate a
link the user may press enter, ctrl+right arrow or simply click left
mouse button on that link. This way the user enters an article or
causes some external action e.g. starts a web browser.
: To exit an article and return to a previous one, the user may click :
: right mouse button, press backspace, esc or ctrl+left arrow. :
: To quit the Interface being in the main article e.g. menu, the user :
: may double click right mouse button, press backspace or esc. In any :
: other article the user may press F10, alt+q or alt+x. :
: Pressing keys 1 through 8 the user can select a tune. Of course the :
: actual number of available tunes depends on an issue. In this issue :
: there are three tunes. To select a tune entered at commandline e.g. :
: with /music switch, the user may press F3 key. To turn off the music, :
: the user may press 0 key. :
If an issue or an article contains more than one background
image/theme, the other themes can be selected using ctrl+number keys
numbers 1 through 9 are available. This issue comes along with three
background themes.
Other available keys:
- F1 - display help,
- F2 - save current article to disk in HTML, if only possible,
- F4 - enable/disable effects e.g. smooth scrolling at run-time,
- F7 - search through articles by words,
- ctrl+enter - copy selected link to clipboard.
What follows is a list of all switches and keys available in this
issue.
