Fuji Desk! is free! It comes to you courtesy of Chet Walters for all the donations I've received for my ShareWare items (though not as many as I'd hoped). Give it, upload it, pass it around! The only requirement is that this text file accompany it and they both remain unmodified and in their present form. I won't tell you what it does, but stick in your AUTO folder and boot. It works in all three resolutions of any 520, 1040, or Mega ST. You can also run it from the desktop any old time. Here's some hints: FUJIDESK.PRG works best if run early in the AUTO folder. You can actually run it anywhere in your AUTO queue, but it will initialize faster if it's early. I have found that you should run it BEFORE HotWire! and UIS_II. Anywhere else is ok, though. If you run FUJIDESK.PRG a second (or third or fourth etc.) time, when it finds it's already been installed, it will let you SHOW or HIDE the current Fuji. The interrupt that makes it all work still remains active, it just skips the good stuff and returns to the system if it's off. The only way to physically remove it from memory is to reboot the machine..... but why would you want to? Fuji Desk is a nifty little ditty that only takes up about 8K and doesn't hurt a thing. Fuji Desk will only display itself on a standard GEM menu bar that conforms to the desktop. That means that there must be three spaces before the word "Desk" and the small 'e' must be the fifth character in the line. This means it works with NeoDesk since NeoDesk has a small 'e' and there's enough room next to the 'N'. But this means that it won't work with Word Perfect since WP uses a Fuji of its own for the menu bar. (Perhaps I shouldn't tell you this, but I used a sector editor to modify the WP.RSC file so that there are three spaces and the word 'Gem' replaces WP's Fuji. That works great. I'm watching that sucker spin its little heart out right now as I type this. I also did this to Tempus and moved the word in GENST2 over a space so it all works with those programs too. However, if you try this, you're on your own! Use backups of the files and don't blame me if it won't work for you. _____ :-{) Included here, if you can afford a slot and 3K of RAM, is FUJIMATE.ACC. Now, there are some cautions to using this accessory. It will only do you good if FUJIDESK.PRG runs from the AUTO folder BEFORE the accessories launch. It let's you turn Fuji Desk on or off at will. If you think Fuji Desk is messing up something for you, then shut it off. I think you'll find it's not Fuji Desk at all but something else. This little cutie is designed to be trouble free. I have not had a problem with it since I wrote the thing and it's been running for quite some time now. I did say it was free, but if you feel like sending in some bucks for it, you can help a poor starving ST programmer keep on working. ****** Update info ****** 9/1/1989 Well, sometimes ya get bored and ya just need to do something so a few days after I uploaded FUJIDESK for the first time, I figured I'd add a feature. Now the FUJIMATE accessory will allow you to speed up the spinner or slow down the spinner. Nice. By the way, don't mix the new FUJIDESK and the new FUJIMATE with the old ones or it's crash city! (Believe me! I know!) Here's the poop: OLD FUJIDESK.PRG 5329 bytes long OLD FUJIMATE.ACC 945 bytes long NEW FUJIDESK.PRG 5338 bytes long NEW FUJIMATE.ACC 1200 bytes long Well, so you say what's 300 bytes or so among friends. I tend to agree with you, but the ST gets a bit fussy about these things. Don't mix 'em and don't drink and drive either. And, hey! If I get some good response in this thing I might just make a FUJIEDIT which will let you put your own things up there. Ya got 24 bits by 16 bits to work with. Bigger than a mouse pointer! Gee, how about a smile face ... or a rotating globe (nawww... that's been done). While we're at it, here's some stuff that's available for a donation: >>>> Now for the advertisement section of this doc <<<< by Chet Walters.... **** DOT MAGIC! Text file printer with 22 fonts and a font editor enclosed. Don't feel like booting up that DTP application for just a letter to Aunt Minnie in Minnesota? Well, print a pretty with Dot Magic! Comes with several utilities including one that lets you put those nice fonts on pics too! **** COMPACT DIR Directory dump with a twist. Uses the smallest font of an HP DeskJet or superscript on an Epson compat to fit more than 10 meg worth of filenames on one page for easy cross-referencing. Dump just one partition or the whole shebang! ***** EASY MOVE Tired of dragging those IMG files along with your GEM drawings from Easy Draw? Use Easy Move instead. This will copy or move GEM files searching through the file itself for any corresponding IMG files and will move them with it automatically. A must if you use Easy Draw. ***** PIC_LOG Geeezzz! You've got all these clip art disks full of Degas, Tiny and Neo pics but you can't remember what they are with those cryptic filenames. Well, if you have an HP DeskJet, HP LaserJet, and Epson 24 pin compat or just a none pinner, then you can dump a nice catalog of an entire disk of pics for easy referencing. The HP drivers put 15 full screens on one page! LQ's get 9 pics a page. It's easy! ***** PS to PM Got a huge library of 8 bit Print Shop icons gathering dust? If you have an ST and an 8 bit Atari, you can use this to transfer an entire Print Shop disk full of graphics from the 8 bit to a nice alphabetized PrintMaster file for use on the ST. You'll need a null modem to make the transfer complete. ***** CLIP_ART Got a thousand PrintMaster Graphics that you'd like to use elsewhere? This one will load up to 2000 PM icons from which you can view and select individuals to put on a Degas screen for easy access in other DTP applications. Mono version fits more than 40 on a screen for easy clipping. Color version slightly less. **** PM CAT Right, and what would you do with all those PrintMaster icons if you don't know what they look like? PM Cat is the answer. Prints 77 icons in each page complete with name and library. Works with Epson Compatible 9 pin or 14 pin printers. **** CHANGE EASELY Get tired of the same pic on your desktop when using Easel ST? Use this handy accessory to change it on the fly! Got a nice lady that you'd like to have peeking out from behind your windows but are afraid that you know who will get jealous? Well, put her there any time you want, and if you feel someone sneaking up behind you, you can change to that nice mountain scene in an instant. Requires Easel ST v1.10 to work. **** STITCH X Want to get that Computer Eyes shot of kids made into a cross stitch pattern? If you have an Epson FX compatible printer then you can do it with STITCH X. Load Tiny, Degas and Neo pics from which you can clip any portion to dump to the printer as a cross stitch pattern complete with color chart and symbols. If your clip won't fit on one page, then it gets tiled for you up to poster size suitable for framing. (lo rez only) **** BIG_MAC MAC format picture viewer. This is actually the only MAC pic slide show available for the ST! Scrolls the pics one after the other for you to see. Choose 'single' from the menu and you can load one at a time with the ability to save the visible scrollable screen to a Degas PI2 or PI3. Color or monochrome.
