- Steve Headroom is a random talking head written in AMOS. With a
- vocabulary of 190 digitized words, it requires 2 megs of chip ram,
- ideally with a 4-color Workbench and nothing else major running.
- This version, 1.6, should work with WB 1.3 thru 3.1.
-
- If you got it online, it WILL fit onto two 880K floppies. Name them
- SHRdisk1 and SHRdisk2. Drag MoreWords.abk from your hard drive onto
- SHRdisk2. Move MoreWords.abk out of the SteveHR drawer on your hard
- drive, then drag the SteveHR drawer onto SHRdisk1. Put MoreWords.abk
- back into the SteveHR drawer on your hard drive.
-
- If you got it on floppies, drag SteveHR onto your hard drive, open
- it and put in MoreWords.abk. MoreWords.abk needs to be in the same
- directory as SteveHeadroom.
-
- This software is freely distributable, but with a few stipulations:
- 1) Include this ReadMe file. PD houses should mention in their
- catalog that it requires 2 megs of chip ram. Online, try to say
- "req 2M chip" or something to prevent needless downloads.
- 2) Disks should remain named SHRdisk1 and SHRdisk2.
-
-
- The first time you run Steve Headroom on your system, it asks you to
- center the screen and select some default settings. Just hit Return
- 3 times. If you later want to change the settings, delete the file
- "SteveHeadroom.config" in your system's S directory, then next time
- you run it the following attributes can be changed:
-
- SCREEN - AMOS has its own ideas about locating screens left-right.
- LOCATION Move it until you can see a single white line, click, then
- fine-tune with your monitor's left-right knob if necessary.
-
- TITLE - You can view or skip the title screen.
-
- NUMBER - When set to 0, it talks until you click the mouse.
- OF When set to a higher number, it will speak that many
- SENTENCES sentences then exit to Workbench.
-
- VIDEO - If this is set to 1, it will start and end with a black
- screen that is displayed until you click the mouse.
- This is only useful for recording the program to video
- without also recording the Workbench. Default is 0.
-
-
- One thing you can do is set title to 0, sentences to 1, video to 0,
- then add something like this to the end of your s/user-startup:
-
- ;BEGIN SteveHeadroom
- CD Work:SteveHR
- SteveHeadroom
- CD Sys:
- ;END SteveHeadroom
-
- Then whenever you boot up, he'll speak a single sentence then
- go away, revealing the Workbench.
