BReq 1.16 Gadgets for OS selection during startup
This program started out as a simple program to solve a simple
problem - choose to boot into AmigaOS or NetBSD on a machine
that had both options available at startup time BEFORE going
through all of the Startup-Sequence. This was originally done
using Nico Francois' excellent ReqTools package. After requests
came asking for timeout I decided that using Intuition directly
was best so the original version was completely scrapped and
what is now here came to be. I added a timeout and default
feature allowing BReq to go through a default option after a
certain amount of time had passed. Realizing that the timeout
might be quite long I added a blanker (quite simple once I got
the idea of IDCMP) and it was quite silly of me not to make
both buttons (or gadgets rather) alterable - so now both gads
can be altered on the command line.
