-
- The aim of the game:
- -------------------
-
- Do you run your system under another screenmode than PAL or NTSC, for
- example EURO72? Have you ever tried to start a game or demo from within
- this screenmode? Have you ever been angry about those programmers who do
- not stick to the system friendly way of programming thus producing programs
- which are not aware of the screenmode they were started out of?
-
- Here is the solution to this problem: RunPal
-
- RunPal is an Kick1.4+ tool, it will NOT work under Kick1.0/1.1/1.2/1.3!
- RunPal is 100% pc-relative and reentrant Assembler code, so you can set the
- pure flag and make it resident. RunPal takes a commandline as argument and
- executes this commandline, just after having opened a little PAL screen in
- the front. When the commandline is executed the screen is closed and RunPal
- returns to the CLI. Do not try to start RunPal from the Workbench, it does
- not include the Workbench startup code.
-
-
- How to use RunPal:
- -----------------
-
- AmigaDOS template: EBNF description:
-
- RunPal C=COMMANDLINE/F commandline RunPal [C[=]|COMMANDLINE[=]] commandline
-
- Examples of valid usage:
-
- RunPal VirtualIntelligence ;a demo
- RunPal C list >RAM:foo SYS: ;senseless, but works
- RunPal C= C:dir RAM: ;senseless, but works
- RunPal COMMANDLINE XCopyPro ;a copy program
- RunPal COMMANDLINE=Resident ;works (Resident is resident here)
-
- You see, that the commandline can consist of same complex format as could be
- used in the AmigaDOS shell. In-/Output redirection is possible. There is
- not much to tell about this little program, I just wrote it because I needed
- it, I hope you have use for it.
