- Brief
- -----
-
- AmiGreet greets you in the Amiga 'voice' each time you boot up. Its messages
- change according to the time of day and it now has 2 different random messages
- per hour! There are also Polish, German and Dutch versions included in this
- archive.
-
- Intro
- -----
-
- This is a little program which I coded in Blitz, originally I wanted
- a small Arexx script which either said Good Morning, Good Afternoon,
- or Goodnight when I rebooted depending on what the time of day was.
- I tried even this simple task in Arexx but I found that Arexx didnt
- seem to handle it very well (it handled it but not like I wanted!).
- So I thought I would give it a go in Blitz. And here it is! It has
- some extra features because I tried to get the most out of using
- BlitzBasic, they are :-
-
- o Easy installation, Click the installer and its done!
- o Says a different message every hour of the day when you reboot
- o Uses Blitz Say and not Commodore, this SHOULD be more realistic :)
- o Can be ran simply by double clicking
- o Makes rebooting more interesting!
- o Proper Version String
- o Editable ToolTypes
- o Works on ALL versions of Workbench and Setpatch *
- o Works on ALL Amiga's *
- o No Special requirements *
- o Supports the $POO command! *³
-
- * So long as the installer has been run.
- *³ Poo is a revolutionary new command like Version. Download it from AmiNet
- or the Alpha URL today!

- Foreigners!
- -----------
-
- Hello there! Are you from a different country to England? If so I want you
- to help me write a version of AmiGreet for your country. Ive already had
- talks with a Swedish man who wants me to make a Swedish version and I want
- people from all over the world to contact me and discuss a version for their
- country. All you would have to do is supply me with 24 different messages
- in your native language, 1 for each hour of the day ;) and Ill do the rest.
- You will be fully creditted in the documents and a new version of AmiGreet
- will be released! Et Voila ;) In particular I want to do Swedish, German,
- French, Finnish and Dutch versions of AmiGreet because Ive met some nice
- people from these countries ;)

-
- A guide to making a foreign version of AmiGreet :-
-
-
- Creating Foreign AmiGreet's!
- ----------------------------
-
- follow these simple rules :-
-
- 1. Change each of the statements below into your native language, they dont
- have to be an exact translation so long as you realise that 0 is midnight,
- 1 is 1am, 2 is 2am etc.... So make sure the words relate to the time.
-
- 2. DONT use Special characters (umlauts/accents etc..) because Blitz Basic
- cant handle them!
-
- 3. DONT use ? ! or . because they will distort the speech. Commas (,) are OK.
-
- 4. Type the speech how it SOUNDS not looks! To test how it sounds goto DOS
- and do this :- SAY <text>
- PLEASE test all the speech you do because Im not foreign and I dont know
- how it should sound! ;-)).
-
- 5. Thanks alot for this I appreciate it. tell me your eMail & name and Ill
- put you in the AmiGreet credits which can be found in the Docs.
-
- Please post this form back to gazy@globalnet.co.uk once you have finished
- editting it.
