- POP - A little popup message program using ClassAct
- ---------------------------------------------------
-
- Pop is a cli command that displays a little message
- box with message and image for a user specified time
- period.
-
- It can be used to display a message while a large
- program loads.
-
- Usage:
-
- pop <image filename> <message> <delay value>
-
- image filename selects the filename of the pic to view,
- it should be a fairly small image and one that can
- be loaded by datatypes.
-
- message is a string message, place it in quotes if it
- has any spaces in it, note: it can only be a single
- line message and C style '\n' won't work.
-
- delay value, 20 is a fair amount, it uses Intuiticks
- so the speed of your CPU shouldn't affect it.
- Just experiment with the values.
-
- ALL of these parameters are required, if you make
- a mistake and forget any of these you can CTRL C
- the program or use 'break'.
-
-
- An Example of Usage.
-
- pop c:pic.iff "Loading Blah...." 20
- -----------------------------------------------------
-
- This program is just a quick exercise and has not
- been tested extensively. There could be bugs and
- sideaffects, if there are then don't use it.
- Also please don't ask me to do a non-ClassAct or MUI
- version.
