EASY SLIDE V1.0
==========================
Written By John.A.Kinsella
==========================
INTRODUCTION
------------
This small program can actually be used to create some great slideshows,
spanning as many disks as you like, with the option of playing music as
well.
USAGE
-----
To use this program simply create a boot disk with the program included on
it, and also with the pictures and music file you will be using in the slide
itself.
Now all you do is add the following line to your STARTUP-SEQUENCE file, and
you will have an auto-booting slideshow.
EASYSLIDE (Path To Pictures) (Music File [If Required])
So, say the pictures were stored on a disk in the PICS directory, and you
would like to play a piece of music called MOD.MUSIC that is in the MODULES
directory, you would put.
EASYSLIDE DF0:Pics DF0:Modules/MOD.Music
NOTE: All pictures are displayed in alphabetical order, so you could make a
title screen called A_Pic.IFF and an end screen called Z_Pic.ABK.
INFORMATION
-----------
Easy Slide can display IFF (Non-AGA) and AMOS ABK pictures, and can also
play SoundTracker and AMOS ABK music modules, but it will only work on
drive DF0:.
During the slideshow, pressing a mouse key will move on a picture, and the
Escape key will quit the slideshow.
If you wish to use multiple disks in your slideshow, make the last picture
on your disk called ZZZZZ_NEWDISK which should contain a message asking the
user to insert the next disk of your slideshow, and once the disk is
inserted, press the mouse key, and it will re-read the disk and show the
pictureson that certain disk, the same goes for any other disk on your
slideshow, but make sure all of the pictures on each of the disks are stored
in the exact same directory.
If the slideshow cannot find a disk in the drive with the pictures on it, a
message will appear on the screen asking you to place the disk in the drive,
if you press a mouse key, then it will continue with the slideshow, or you
can press Escape to quit the show.
The source code for this program is included on disk, inside the SOURCE dir.
