;
;
; First we had better check that there are no nasty virii lurking in
; the machine.. we can run PvLs handy little virus hunter/killer.
; If any virii is found in memory then you are told what type..
vhunt
; To neaten things up a little we black out the Cli display, and it is
; lit back up later after showing the picture or setting the prefs..
ECHO "UGA WILL BE ON THE HCC IN ANTWERP (BELGIUM)!!! SO IF YOU WANT "
ECHO "TO MEET US PERSONALLY VISIT OUR STAND ON FRI-DAY 9TH FEBRUAR "
ECHO "IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING FOR OUR PD SERIE TAKE IT WITH YOU. "

black
; Now to change the font from that horrible Topaz font to a much cleaner
; neater font (Siesta)... Plus it also speeds Text Display up! :-)
ff siesta.font
; More neatness touches, this one loses the edge border and makes the
; overall appearance more enhanced and professional (in my opinion).
border off
; This is a cute trick, using the echo command and some control characters
; we turn off the cursor and text colors, purely for presentation.
; The Control characters will not be shown via PPmore though.
echo "0 p"
set devs/system-configuration
; Restore the colours!
Type message
; Whilst displaying the message, its time to transfer the used commands
; into a RAM: disk so that Newsflash operation is speeded up even further.
; First we copy the contents of the S {Script} drawer containing all the
; menus for the magazine...
copy s to ram:
; Now we copy all the utility commands used during magazine operation..
copy c/ppmore to ram:
copy c/run to ram:
copy c/set to ram:
copy c/echo to ram:
copy c/powermenu to ram:
copy c/copy to ram:
; With that done its time to tell the Amiga to look for the C commands and
; the Script files on the ram disk... This is done with the ASSIGN command
; which gives a new 'logical device' for the Amiga to look at.. making the
; Amiga get its commands from the ram disk has many advantages, the best
; obviously being the reduced disk-access and far better speed of operation.
; We have to tell the Amiga where the ASSIGN command is though due to us
; moving the location of the C directory..
df0:c/assign c: ram:
df0:c/assign s: ram:
; Ok, the Amiga knows where to look.. Lets get the show on the road..
prog/zoomwindows quiet
; Another great utility to improve window display, enjoy it, special
; thanks Dr Maybe from Holland....
; Lets run the Magazine routine itself..
powermenu
; There! All done, finished and executed.. Did you follow all that??
; Sequence edited and scripted by Martyn [Spadge] in Nov 1989
; From now on all startup-sequences will be written this way to show
; new-users and beginners how things are done.. its not meant to be
; a tutorial - just a high-level commentry of whats happening.
; This disk is distributed VIRUS FREE, if the Virus Hunter used on this
; disk shows a Virus was present then you need a killer if you havent
; already got one. Contact us for the latest virus killers..
; Thanks to the Pseudo Ops for sending their excellent killers.
