+.TH spin 6 "29 July 1997" "Svgalib (>= 1.2.11)" "Svgalib User Manual"
+.SH NAME
+spin \- test a 6-dimension mouse or pointer device with svgalib
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+
+.B spin
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Another mouse test program.  This is the first svgalib program to
+use the 6-dimensional mouse routines.  It draws a wireframe spheroid
+on the screen which can be moved left/right, up/down, in/out, or
+rotated along the x, y, or z axes.
+
+.B Button bindings are:
+.br
+.PD 0
+.TP
+.BR A " - Decrease Sensitivity       (Right Mouse Button)"
+.TP
+.BR B " - Change color               (Middle Mouse Button)"
+.TP
+.BR C " - Increase Sensitivity       (Left Mouse Button)"
+.TP
+.BR D " - Increase Number of Sides"
+.TP
+.BR E " - Decrease Number of Sides"
+.TP
+.BR F " - Quit                       (" <Ctrl>-C )
+.PD
+.P
+If you only have a two dimensional mouse with three or fewer buttons
+you will only be able to move the mouse in two dimensions
+(left/right and in/out) and will not be able to move up/down or
+spin the spheroid.
+Note: the initial mouse sensitivity is optimised for the Spacetec
+series of controllers, which are much more sensitive than the usual
+mouse.  Increasing the sensitivity is advised for users of other
+types of devices.
+
+The demo works always in mode 320x200x256. It prompts your for an
+integer, the number of sides the sphere has (the higher the smoother
+looks the spere).
+
+This demo is part of svgalib and can be found in the
+.I demos/
+subdirectory of the original svgalib distribution. However, it is not installed in the system
+by default, s.t. it is unclear where you can find it if your svgalib was installed by some
+linux distribution. Even then, when you have the demo on your system, you probably won't have
+the sources s.t. it is only of limited use for you.
+
+In case of any such problem, simply get an svgalib distribution from the net. You even
+don't need to install it. Just
+.B make
+in the
+.I demos/
+subdirecty. As of this writing,
+.I svgalib-1.2.12.tar.gz
+is the latest version and can be retrieved by ftp from
+.IR "sunsite.unc.edu" " at " "/pub/Linux/libs/graphics"
+and
+.IR "tsx-11.mit.edu" " at " "/pub/linux/sources/libs"
+which will most probably be mirrored by a site close to you.
