 Help for !Zeta+.

 !Zeta+ automatically creates 'pretty wild' graphics.

 Note: The default display MODE is the Desktop MODE, but you can
       change this in the !Run file of !Zeta+.
 
 There are two modes of action:

 1) display the graphics and optionally save any screen.
 2) playback a directory (or just a selected group) of saved screens.


 1)
    To start just click Mouse-<Select> on the iconbar icon.
    To return to the Desktop just press <Escape>.

    There is a delay interval between each screen (default = 2 secs),
   but the user can change this in multiples of 50 centiseconds (cs)
   by using the number keys <1>,<2>,...,<9> on the keypad (or keyboard)
   i.e <1>=50 cs, <2>=100 cs, ... , <9>=450 cs.
   If <Shift> is also used then the intervals will change by multiples
   of 5 secs i.e <Shift>+<1>=5 secs, +<2>=10 secs, ... , +<9>=45 secs. 

     You can hold any screen by pressing the <SpaceBar> or Mouse-<Menu>.
     To restart the display sequence just press any key/Mouse.

     Clicking Mouse-<Select> will over-ride the delay i.e the display
    immediately moves on to the next screen. In fact most key presses
    will do the same.
  
    To save any displayed screen press key <S> or Mouse-<Adjust>.
   These screens will be saved automatically in the internal directory
   'Pics' (inside !Zeta+) and named as '01','02',.... in sequence.
   When in the Desktop you can open the directory 'Pics' by using
   <Shift>+Mouse-<Select> on the iconbar-icon.

   You should now copy/move any screens you wish to keep to another
   directory of your choice.
   This is very important - since clicking <Select> on the iconbar icon
   to restart !Zeta+ will reset the saved-screen file counter back to
   '01' and also wipe clean the 'Pics' directory i.e you will lose all
   your saved screens that were stored in 'Pics'.
   Note: you can manually wipe the internal directory 'Pics' by using
   <Ctrl>+Mouse-<Adjust> on the iconbar-icon.

 Note: when holding a screen with the <SpaceBar>/Mouse-<Menu> you can
       still use <S>/Mouse-<Adjust> to save the screen. !Zeta+ will
       then resume with the display.
 
 NB: all the screens are saved as 'Squash' files. The 'Squash' module
     is ideal for !Zeta since it is lossless and the 'pointillist'
     nature of the graphics means that we can achieve compressions as
     low as about 1.5%. This is a great saving on memory and storage.


 2) 
     To playback a directory (or just a selected group) of saved
    screens just drag-and-drop the directory (or selected group) onto
    the icon-bar icon. The screens will be 'unsquashed' and displayed
    automatically, at delay-intervals chosen as above.
    Note: !Zeta+ can display around 1200 screens in succession.

     Clicking Mouse-<Select> will over-ride the delay and the display
    immediately moves on to the next screen. In fact most key presses
    will do the same.

     You can hold any screen by pressing the <SpaceBar>/Mouse-<Menu>.
     To restart the display sequence just press a key/Mouse.

     During the playback pressing the <L> key will display the screen
    number (or label/name) at the bottom-left of the screen.
     Pressing <L> again will remove it i.e <L> acts as an ON/OFF toggle.
    This enables you to make a note of any special likes/dislikes etc.

     To return to the Desktop just press <Escape>.


    Clicking Mouse-<Menu> on the iconbar gives just 3 options:-
          'Info' gives the usual info.
          'Help' displays this Help file.
          'Quit' quits the program and wipes the 'Pics' directory.
