BOUNCE - BENCH
THIS PROGRAM WAS CREATED BY THE RENEGADE USING AN AMIGA A500 1/2 MEG 1.3
SYSTEM AND THE K-SEKA ASSEMBLER FROM KUMA. THE SOURCE IS INCLUDED ON THIS
DISK UNDER THE FILE NAME " BOUNCE.SRC "
>>>> PERMISSION GIVEN TO FREELY DISTRIBUTE THIS PROGRAM <<<<
BOUNCE-BENCH, AS IT'S NAME SUGGESTS, SIMPLY BUT EFFECTIVELY BOUNCES THE
WORKBENCH SCREEN UP AND DOWN UNTIL THE USER ABORTS THE PROGRAM BY
PRESSING THE FIRE BUTTON. TO GET IT RUNNING, ALL YOU DO IS TYPE IT'S
NAME (NO PARAMETERS NEEDED) OR ANY NAME YOU ASSIGN TO IT.
HERE'S AN EXAMPLE OF A DASTARDLY WAY TO USE BOUNCE-BENCH:
GET A HOLD OF SOMEONES WORKBENCH (COPY OF COURSE!!), OR AMIGA DOS
DISK AND PUT THE PROGRAM NAME IN THE STARTUP-SEQUENCE SO THAT ONCE
THE DISK HAS LOADED....BOUNCE! ANYONE WHO HASN'T READ THE SOURCE
OR THIS FILE, WILL TAKE A LONG TIME TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO STOP THE
DAMN THING BOUNCING!!
ALAS, AS THERE ALWAYS IS, THERE SEEMS TO BE A BUG IN THE FORM OF:
THE PROGRAM DESTROYING PAL WINDOWS IF YOU TRY TO MOVE IT IN AMIGADOS
ONCE BOUNCE IS WORKING. IT SEEMS TO WORK FINE IN WORKBENCH HOWEVER.
THERE ISN'T REALLY ANYTHING ELSE TO SAY ON BOUNCE-BENCH EXCEPT TO SAY
THAT I HOPE IT DOES ITS JOB WELL AND ANGERS YOUR FRIENDS AND THAT I GET
SOME MONEY FOR MY SADISTIC TROUBLE!
FUTURE EDITIONS OF BOUNCE-BENCH WILL BE NON-EXISTANT AS I ONLY CODED IT
BECAUSE I HAD NOTHING ELSE TO DO AT THE TIME, BUT......
NOTE:
I AM CURRENTLY WORKING ON A NEW SYSTEM CALLED "MASTER-DOS" WHICH WILL
EVENTUALLY TAKE MOST OF THE COMMANDS YOU ARE LIKELY TO USE ON THE "CLI",
AND IMPLEMENT THEM INTO AN INTUITIVE, MOUSE OPERATED ENVIRONMENT FOR
QUICK AND EASY ACCESS TO DIRECTORIES AND FILES ETC, BUT MINUS THE HEAVY
TYPING. I KNOW THAT THIS ISN'T THE FIRST (OR THE LAST!!) OF ITS TYPE BUT
I HOPE TO FINISH IT SOMETIME IN SUMMER, AFTER MY EXAMS.
ON THIS DISK THERE IS A SNEAK PREVIEW OF WHAT IT WILL LOOK LIKE. TO SEE
IT JUST TYPE ~ SHOW PIC ~
NOTE2:
WE ARE CURRENTLY TRYING TO START UP OUR OWN PUBLIC DOMAIN LIBRARY FOR
ALL AMIGA USERS AND WOULD GLADLY ACCEPT UTILITIES,DEMOS,ARTWORK,ANIMATION
SOUNDTRACKS OR ANY OTHER KIND OF PROGRAM YOU HAVE WRITTEN - EVEN IF IT IS
AS SMALL AND USELESS AS BOUNCE-BENCH! OR IF YOU HAVE LOADS OF OLD (AND
NEW!!) P.D. WRITE TO US GIVING DETAILS OF WHAT YOU HAVE TO GIVE, WHAT
SORT OF THING YOU WOULD LIKE IN RETURN, AND WE'LL DO OUR BEST TO SATISFY
YOUR NEEDS. OUR ADDRESS CAN BE FOUND AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE OR IN THE
STARTUP FILE.
WELL THAT'S ALL FOR NOW, SO I THANK YOU FOR READING MY LAME TALK AND I'LL
SEE YOU SOON IN ANOTHER OF OUR RELEASES, SO GOODBYE AND:
SPECIAL GREETINGS TO:
