- Short: Screen Cycler - Final Release
- Author: James L Boyd/Allan Vesraevel
- Uploader: splayer@attcanada.ca
- Version: 1.4
- Type: util/misc
-
- F l i p s i d e - v1.4
- ----------------------
-
- Flipside is a tiny little PD utility (would be much smaller
- in ASM, but what the heck, source is included if someone
- wants to do it). Its job is simply to flip between public
- screens when the middle mouse button is pressed, for those
- who don't want to run MCP, MCX or anything big like that just
- to do this job.
-
- The only drawback is that you can't run it alongside other
- programs that make use of the middle mouse button. But there
- aren't exactly many of those...
-
- It was written in Blitz (great language once you know what NOT
- to do!) because several people pointed out that there didn't seem
- to be anything similar available (!).
-
- As for the name, the only relevant part is the "Flip" part - the rest
- just sounds good (and it's a Breeders tune :)
-
- Thanks to Patrick (tracerb) and all those who risked their lives
- testing it :)
-
- "Enjoy"...
-
-
- Installation:
- -------------
-
- 1) Dump Flipside into your C: dir.
-
- 2) Fire up your favorite text editor.
-
- 3) Now, just before C:IPrefs add this line:
-
-
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- Run >NIL: C:Flipside
-
- C:IPrefs
-
-
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- That's It! On your next boot it will become activated.
-
-
- **** If you try to run Flipside from Workbench it will promptly crash!! *****

- History
- -------
-
- 1.0 - ?
-
- 1.1 - Aminet Release
-
- 1.2 - Fixed a bug that showed up on GFX cards. CPU loop occured.
- Now works with GFX cards and AGA/ECS/OCS
- - Program Priority is set to 2. Higher than most apps run at.
- That way you can flip screens as screens as fast as you want,
- even while rendering! :)
-
- 1.3 - Flipside is now CLI only. Had to do this to make Flipside OS 3.9
- friendly.
-
- 1.4 - Holding the middle mouse button down will not continously
- cycle windows. Good for those with slow reflexes :)
