\\ // TD V2.0
\//
1991
by

WHAT'S NEW SINCE V1.0 ?
Version 1.0 worked well with kickstart 1.2 and was usable with
2.x, but it failed miserably when run under kickstart 1.3. The reason
was that the program thought it was running under 2.x. This version
works perfectly with any of these kickstart versions.
This version adjusts its window to only show the drives that are
physically present (1.0 showed '--' for those that wasn't).
Version 2.0 is actually a few bytes smaller than 1.0 (no Reloc32
information)
WHAT IS TD ?
TD is a program that continuously displays current track for each
connected floppy disk.
This program is almost functionally equivalent to
TrackDisplay
by
Olaf Barthel on Fish-disk 399 (Thanks for the idea Olaf). The main
difference is the size and how it looks under kickstart 2.x (
TD
looks
much better than
TrackDisplay
). Contrary to
TrackDisplay
and
TD V1.0
,
this version of TD only shows the drives that are actually present. The
original
TrackDisplay
was written in C and is 3640 bytes.
TD
is written
in assembler and is only 1412 bytes (on disk).
NOTE: Unlike
TrackDisplay
,
TD
insists on using the
Topaz-80
font.
HOW TO START TD
From CLI : Type '
TD
' and press RETURN.
There is
NO
need to use
RUN
,
RUNBACK
,
ARUN
etc.
TD is auto-detaching when run from CLI (It will
not prevent you from closing the CLI-window).
From Workbench: Double-click on the '
TD
' icon.
COMPATABILITY !
TD has been tested under kickstart 1.2, 1.3 and 2.x on a
2.5 MB 68000 based Amiga 1000 (0.5 MB chip-ram). If any problems
is encountered with other configurations then let me know.
