File: Dutil.AMOS
Written: Oct 90
Author: Jason Anthony
Use: Disk Utility Program
This program was written to aid the copying and deleting of files.
It can play samples and music, read pictures (both IFF and Amos Bank).
It can also be used to run another amos program.
Files can be selected by pressing the left button over the file (if the file
has already been selected it will become deselected).
Files can also be selected by pressing the right buttons and moving the mouse
over all the files you want selected.
Selected files are printed in inverse video.
The other method of selecting a range of files is to press the left button
over the first file then moving over BSTART and pressing the left button, then
moving to the last file and pressing the left button, and finally pressing
over BEND. The Selected area should be inverted. (Note: this option will not
deselect files outside the range.)
To select all files press over the SELECT option.
To De-select all files press over the DESELECT option.
Pressing the right button over one of the device names will re-read all
devices.
VIEW.
This command will go through the list of selected files, and check to see
if they are either IFF or Amos Packed Pictures, once found the file will be
displayed until a mouse button is pressed. If you selected more than one
picture file the program will load them in order (this happens when you press
the left button). Pressing the right button while a picture is on the screen
will exit the loop before attempting to load the next file.
READ.
This command will load one file into memory and display it as an Ascii
file no check is made to see if this is an Ascii file, so some strange results
are possible. You can move through the text by pressing the up and down arrow
keys and quit by pressing 'Q'. (The Text Routines are taken from the Help.ACC
program on the master disk.)
HEAR.
This command will go through the list of selected files. It check for two
things:
1. An Amos Music bank, if found it will play the music until a button is
pressed.
2. An Amos Samples bank, if found it will play each consecutive sample
every time the left buttons is pressed if you press the right button it will
go onto the next file.
If the file is not one of these, the program will load the file as a raw
sample, it will then ask you for a sample rate to play it back at. Accepted
values range from 501 - 29000 Hz, typing a number outside this range will exit
that file.
To exit the list of files press Both buttons at the same time.
PRUN.
This command will run a single amos program.
QUIT.
I think most people can work this one out.
PARENT.
Takes you out of a subdirectory.
MK-DIR.
Allows you to make a directory inside the current directory.
DELETE.
Deletes one or more files, before each file is deleted a Requester will
make sure you want to delete that file.
COPY.
Copies a range of files from the ~S~ Directory to the ~D~ directory.
RENAME.
Allows you to rename a file.
Disclaimer.
I make no claim for the usefulness of this program, I wrote it for myself
and I find it quit useful but then I'm Biased.
