11HAN INNOVATIVE APPROACH TO THE PRESENTATION OF18H14H14HQUALITY SHAREWARE PRODUCTS FOR THE AMIGA25HBY: CHET SOLACE40H
WHAT IN THE WORLD IS
ULTRA-DISK?
Well, it's my way of presenting the best ShareWare ...by
USING it
to compose the demo disk! This disk contains almost 1 1/2 megs of
programs and documentation... highly compressed, yet ready to run within
seconds.. High speed is maintained in
SPITE
of using a full
3-bitplanes, 8-color icons, and 8-color ANSI animations in EACH text file.
Compiling and tweaking this disk has taken close to a full month, at
16-18 hrs
EVERY day..
Just wanted you to know..
You probably have a ton of programs you've downloaded, yet never even
bothered to un-arc because their utility was not IMMEDIATELY apparent
With Ultra-Disk, everything is ready-to-run...(or already running when
you boot the disk :-).. I hope to actively promote the extensive use of
advanced compression techniques in Amiga Disk Magazines, to allow more
efficient use of disk space, and give the user more byte for the buck!
Each disk in this series will be totally different.. and will be
released from time-to-time, depending on the amount of interest. You
should have no memory problems with these disks (if you have 512k); but,
be aware that you may find it necessary to re-boot if memory becomes too
fragmented after running about 2/3 of the programs on this disk... There
are a LOT of programs here! Future editions will use 28-color ICONS!
A few tips:
1) Run the memory-intensive programs FIRST..(Micro-View!, FastDisk, etc)
2) If you get error messages, or the Xicon screen goes away without loading
your program, kill as many of the open windows as you can to free up
more memory. (or use WBDepth to switch to 1 bitplane)
3) When running pointer animations: please allow 15 seconds between
selections, and you have 14 seconds to read any of the animation
text files and click the 'OK' gadget to load the pointer before the
animation is removed from ram, so don't spend TOO much time reading!
4) If your disk drive can't handle the steprate of 2000, change it to 2500
in the startup-sequence..
5) If textfiles show up as colored blurs, you're out of unfragmented memory!
re-boot the disk!
I will be glad to produce CUSTOM disks of this type for interested user-
groups, disk magazines, etc.. Contact me via mail for further information.

A note on FastMouse...There was NO room on the disk for a separate
doc file, so I include it here:
-------------------------------------------------------------
FastMouse, by David Ashley
(Univ. of CA. @ Berkely)
300-byte Mouse Accelerator
FastMouse installs a handler in the input.device chain that looks for
mouse move events, and when one comes along, it will double the ie_x
and ie_y events, speeding the mouse up by a factor of 2. (Public Domain)
