WHAT'S ZOOM! ?
Zoom! simply opens a small resizable window on your WorkBench screen, and
zooms ;-) what's under your mouse pointer. To change view simply press your
RMB when Zoom!'s window is ACTIVE. You can change the zoom rate by clicking
on the "±" gadget. Timer device can be used to have an automatic re-zooming
on the last position. You can change the automatic zooming delay time using
the time gadgets, from NA ( Not Active ) to `?!', that's far far beyond 100
seconds. The scaling factor and the delay time are shown on Zoom!'s drag-
bar.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT DOES ZOOM! NEED?
o Kickstart 2.04 or higher
o bitmap.library (enclosed) copied in your LIBS: directory
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHY WOULD *YOU* NEED ZOOM! ?
None knows! ;-) I made this program just for fun. You can use it to form up
your icons if you want!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
USING ZOOM! FROM CLI
USAGE: Zoom! AUTO/N,Scale/N,Left/N,Top/N,Width/N,Height/N
Where SCALE specifies the magnification, AUTO specifies the length in secs
before Zoom! re-zooms the last location, LEFT & TOP refer to the window's
position, WIDTH & HEIGHT refer to the window's dimensions.
To launch Zoom!, type 'Zoom!' (doing so you can press CTRL-C to quit), or
type 'run Zoom!' (and to quit, you should send him a break signal by tiping
'break <process_number>' from CLI).
You can also click on the window's close gadget to exit. :-)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
USING ZOOM! FROM WORKBENCH
Double-click on its icon.
To exit click on the window's close gadget.
Clicking on '±' gadgets will modify the scaling factor through 2 to 40.
Clicking on the time gadgets will modify the auto-zooming delay.
CLI options can be specified by writing them in the tooltypes.
( E.g.: AUTO=5, WWIDTH=100 ) Remember not to put spaces between the option,
the equate symbol and the value!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
