===== Record & Replay =====
=================================
(C) FLam == A.Livshits & J-M.Forgeas == 1987
Record:
------
Record picks up all input events (mouse and keyboard) and saves
them to a file ( 10 bytes per event ). It should be started from
CLI by: run Record <file name> <buffer size> , buffer size is
an optional parameter (500 default) that specifies the number
of events in memory buffer before writing them to a file. The
number you actually use depends on the amount of free memory
you can afford. When this buffer becomes full, the Record blocks
all new input while writing it out.
To start recording press F10 key, the mouse pointer will be forced
to the upper-left corner of the screen and all subsequent mouse and
keyboard activity will be registered. Press F1 key to stop
recording.
EXAMPLE: run record df1:x 2000
Replay:
------
Replay reads the file created by Record and sends the events back
to the input stream. All mouse and keyboard activity that was
recorded previously, is reconstructed. Replay is launched from
CLI by: run Replay <file name> <number of repetitions> <buffer size>
Number of repetitions is an optional parameter ( 0 = infinite,
default). Buffer size also optional and has the same significance
as for the Record. Press F10 key to start replay.
You can pause the replay session at any moment by pressing F10 key.
To stop replay press F1 key.
EXAMPLE: run replay df1:x 1 2000
Record-Replay works fine with all of the AMIGA software that respects
multitasking and I had no problems using it with DPaint, PageSetter,
TextCraft etc.
NOTES:
-----
Make sure that the state of the software is exactly the same in
the beginning of record and of replay. Do not hurry! And specially
when opening icons, loading, writing or reading files, make pauses long
enough to compensate for longer file access in some cases etc.
Give system a time to breath.
Enjoy!
