Dpslide is a slide show program for displaying graphic images which are output from the Deluxe Paint program from Electronic Arts, and those images which are compatible with that output.
DpSlide allows the user to select the slides which are to beshown, the length of time for each slide to appear on the screen and the method of bringing the slide up on to the screen.
The five methods are:
Pop up: The slide pops on the screen instantaneously.
Fade in: The slide fades on to the screen.
Fade in/Fade out: The old slide fades out, then the new one fades in.
Scroll up: The new slide scrolls up over the old slide.
Scroll all: The entire display scrolls up bringing the new slide into view.
Amiga owners of 512K of memory can display any combination of Deluxe Paint images. Owners with 256K of memory are limited to displaying only low resolution images.
To run the program, type:
DpSlide <commandfile> (for the demo, use 'SHOW' for the commandfile)
The F1 key can be used to pause the program so that whateverslide is on screen will stay until F1 is hit again. The F2 key is used to push DpSlide to the background and make the WorkBench screen come to the top. To return to DpSlide, hitF2 agian. The F10 key is used to exit DpSlide.Building the command file:
