- Author: Jess Sosnoski (at the below address!!!)
- Uploader: starblaz@ptdprolog.net
- Version: 1.1beta
- Type: util/boot
- Requires: mathtrans.library
-
- Long:
-
- MTpatch 1.1beta © 1997-1998 Jess Sosnoski
-
- DESCRIPTION:
- -----------
- This patches the mathtrans library's SPFieee and SPTieee functions to
- slightly faster ones.
-
- NOTE:
- -----
- THIS PROGRAM WILL NOT PATCH V43 MATHTRANS.LIBRARY
- If you have tmathtrans.lha from aminet that I wrote (it's V43.x),
- you won't need this, because that version of mathtrans.library
- already has this code in it.
-
-
- DISCLAIMER:
- ----------
- Use this program at your own risk!
- I assume no responsibility or liability for problem(s) and/or damage(s)
- that occur by the use, modification, and/or existence of this product,
- and/or its parts in any form.
-
- But if it don't work right, or slows things down, don't be afraid
- to send me email...or even send some email if it makes your system
- outprocess a cray (yeah, right)
-
-
- INSTALLATION:
- ------------
- Copy it to your c: directory or wherever you like.
- You can add the line run <>NIL: msbpatch to your startup-sequence, or
- user-startup. You can give it an icon and put it in WBstartup.
- You can basically put it anywhere :)
- (I have mine a little after setpatch in my startup-sequence)
-
- USAGE:
- -----
- run <>NIL: mtpatch
-
- OUTPUT:
- ------
- None...I'm not bothering putting that kind of work into this.
- Although, if you don't have the right versions of the required libraries,
- it will exit with a returncode of 20.
-
- REMOVAL:
- -------
- sorry....once it's in...it stays in!
- (didn't I hear Al Bundy say that to Peg once...hmmm....)
-
- CAVEATS:
- -------
- Don't expect any miracles.
-
- Opens mathtrans.library, and never closes it.
-
- HISTORY:
- -------
- 1.0 First Release
-
- 1.1 Now checks for my v43 mathtrans.library, and doesn't patch it
- if it's installed. Although, it WILL patch the v100 quicktrans
- mathtrans.libraries, as well as the FMath406 mathtrans.library.
-
- FUTURE:
- ------
- Make this doc file a bit more presentable, and maybe leave it as plain
- text without Amigaguide OR HTML just for kicks.
- Write a more accurate test program, and maybe include it in the archive.
-
- Make the patch exit, instead of hanging around.
-
- One word: NitrOS
