% PostScript program to display an Archimedean spiral by approximating
% it with Bezier curves.  Can display a double spiral (two spirals
% rotated by 180 degrees with respect to each other).
%%%  Parameters:
                 % centerx = horizontal coordinate of center of spiral
                 % centery = vertical coordinate of center of spiral
                 % rotf = degrees to rotate
/sepwid 110 def  % width separating successive turnings of spiral
                 % (half this if double spiral is selected)
/incrm 15 def    % insert a curve point after this number of degrees
/sweeps 2 def    % number of 360 degree turnings to show
/double 1 def    % change to 0 to display single spiral
