Spiro by Jimmc v1.1						26.Mar.04

    Spiro by Jimmc is a fancy spirograph generator written in Java.
    You should be able to run it on any Java platform, including Sun's
    JDK and Netscape Navigator 2.0 or later.

    The latest version of Spiro is most likely to be found at
       http://alumnus.caltech.edu/~jimmc/ftp/spiro/spiro.tgz

    Spiro has the following features:

	- Written in Java, runs almost anywhere.

	- Lots of bells and whistles.

    To unpack Spiro:
    1. gunzip spiro.tgz
       This will produce spiro.tar.  gzip and gunzip are Gnu compression
       programs, widely available.  Use archie to find a site near you.
       If you don't have archie, you can look in <ftp://usc.edu/pub/gzip/>.
    2. tar xvf spiro.tar
       This will create the directory "spiro" containing the kit.

    To compile Spiro (required only if you want to make changes):
    1. cd spiro
       This puts you into the directory, where you can compile and test.
    2. Edit the makefile and change the definition of JAVAC to point to
       your java compiler.
    2. Do a "make" in this directory.  This will build the class files.

    To run Spiro:
    1a. If you have JDK or a straight java interpreter, enter the command
       "java Spiro".
    1b. If you have a java-enabled web browser (such as Netscape), open
       the file "spiro.html" in this directory.
    2. Press the Draw button.  Play with the other parameters.
