@{START}
My A4k30 needs about 1 minute to boot. It was boring to wait all the time and just seeing a black screen.
@{PAR}
Also boot pictures didn't produce real fun. And it is pretty unprofessional ;-)
@{PAR}
When I saw that the MAC (System 7.5.1+) had a boot gauge bar I began to develop an equal program and here it is.
@{PAR}
BootGauge executes a @{UNDERLINED "specified"} startup-sequence and displays
during that e.g. a gauge bar.
@{PAR}

But BootGauge offers you even more ... just read on.

Please accept this. BootGauge has been a very time-consuming job for

and send me a nice gift if you like BootGauge and use it frequently.

When you start BootGauge the first time you'll see 6 open windows in
the upper left edge of the screen.
@{PAR}
Best would be to select the About or Wait menu item (RCOMMAND + W)
first to delay the execution of the sequence.
@{PAR}
Move these windows anywhere and BootGauge will save (if not disabled by SNAPWINPOS) their position
when they are closed (to env[arc]:bootgauge/mod_*.prefs).

General information about the devices. The window is automatically
updated when a new device is added (e.g. when BootGauge cross "Mount
Devs:DosDrivers").
@{PAR}
@{SHINEBOLD "mod_Gauge:"}
The main module. It shows a gauge bar during BootGauge is booting the
system. Additionaly you can add a quit gadget.
@{PAR}
@{SHINEBOLD "mod_Mem:"}
Information about the chip, fast and total memory.
@{PAR}
@{SHINEBOLD "mod_Text:"}
Displays the line BootGauge is currently working on. The 4 text
gadgets on the right side of the window show you the count of commands
that returned WARN (5), FAIL (10), ERROR (20) and other errors.

Now you have to modify your s:startup-sequence and create a
s:startup-sequence and a separate file which is the real, old
s:startup-sequence.

BootGauge does no pre-checking of the startup file ! E.g.  IF without an

The next version will probably require V39/V40.
The length  of  a  line in the specified sequence  are  limited  to  256
  characters. ............................................................
 BootGauge can't or won't handle the following statements (yet): ........
