- SPEAKOFF
- --------
-
- The ATARI Falcon 030 has got a built-in speaker which produces very
- loud and terrible sounding output after the computer is powered on
- (why such a small mono-speaker for the F030...) You are able to switch
- it off using GENERAL.CPX, but this won't have any effect on programs in
- the AUTO-folder (because GENERAL.CPX is called by the desktop).
-
- So SPEAKOFF is a (very) little programm for the AUTO-folder that
- switches the internal speaker of the F030 off. When the SHIFT-key is
- pressed, SPEAKOFF will not influence the speaker. The program
- BOOTSOFF.PRG allows you to install a bootsector with the same routine
- on a disk. Just select on which drive (if you have more than one) you
- want to install the SPEAKOFF-bootsector, and BOOTSOFF will do it for
- you. But don't forget that you can't install it on disks that already
- have an executable bootsector without destroying the old one (BOOTSOFF
- will warn you in that case)!
-
- SPEAKOFF uses a non-documented feature to switch the internal speaker
- off, but since GENERAL.CPX uses the same method, there shouldn't occur
- any problems. Nevertheless, I do not undertake any responsibility on
- damages which occur after the use of this program or a disk with the
- SPEAKOFF-bootsector, run it at your own risk!
-
- SPEAKOFF may be freely distributed, the only condition is that all
- files (SPEAKOFF.PRG, BOOTSOFF.PRG and SPEAKOFF.TXT) are copied
- completely and unchanged (archiving is allowed).
