- HISTORY
-
- version 1.1b
- ------------
- This version will start up a default startup sequence if
- no gadgets are activated during the first about 15 seconds.
-
- version 1.1c
- ------------
- Just some few cosmetic changes and a spesified shareware fee.
-
- Version 2.0 Shareware version
- -----------------------------
-
- Nice 2.0 look
- Memory available displayed in decimal
-
- Due to very poor responce, the new 2.0 shareware version is
- stripped a bit and the full version 2.0 Professional is not
- freely distiblutable. It can be ordered from the above
- address.
-
- DESCRIPTION:
-
- This program allows you to select between multiple startup-sequences.
- It also give you the possibility to turn on/off the audiofilter.
- This is very useful especially when you have a hard drive, and
- want to get the most out of your system, dont waste memory etc.
-
- REQUIREMENTS:
-
- This program will run on any amiga with kickstart 1.2 or higher,
- and will work under any 680x0 processor. It is nice written and
- intuition based. Kickstart 2.04 or higher is prefered.
-
- Your system disk MUST contain the AmigaDos CLI commands:
- execute ; (This should be the standard workbench commands)
- run
-
- It may be started from workbench or cli, but you should call it
- from the startup-sequence.
-
-
- SETUP:
- ------
- Example:
- makedir sys:s/seq ; make a work directory
- copy sys:s/#? sys:s/seq ; copy all startup-sequences there
- copy fastmenu sys:c ; copy the fastmenu program to hdisk
- copy run sys:c ; make sure the run command is there
- copy execute sys:c ; " " " execute
-
- Then make a default startup-sequence and copy it into the
- directory sys:s/seq , the filename must be "default-startup".
-
- put the two lines
- assign boot: dh0:
- fastmenu
- first in your new sys:s/startup-sequence
-
- Then you may try to reboot. Remember ALWAYS when working on important
- files you should have a BACKUP!
-
- How to use fastmenu:
-
- fastmenu [-a<timeout beteen 1..60>] [-d<directoryname>]
- ^
- optional: -d followed by the directoryname
- to select startup-sequences from
-
- -aXX will automatic start a default
- startup-sequence with name: default-startup
- after a XX time delay
-
- Example:
-
- Enter:
-
- fastmenu
-
- Note that no line arguments are following the file name, the
- program will now search for a directory with the name SEQ
- in your SYS:s directory. If it this directory does not exists and
- no command line argument was specified the program will FAIL
- returning to CLI printing an error message.
-
- Note that you should make a directory : seq in your sys:s/
- diretory. You should then copy the old startup-sequence over
- there. Just like in the SETUP exaple.
-
- If the directory is found, a screen will open, and the
- filenames in the directory will be displayed. If you click
- on a filename which must be a text file for amigados execute,
- it will be executed.
-
- On the top of the screen you can read how much free memory
- your system has.
-
- At the bottom of the screen, you will see four gadgets:
-
- AUDIOFILTER this gadget will turn on/off the sound filter on your
- computer.
-
- EXIT this gadget will exit the program and return to cli.
-
- ABOUT Displays conditions for use.
-
- If the files displayed are files which are executable under the
- AmigaDos execute command, you may click on them, and the file
- will be executed.
-
- Example 2
-
- fastmenu -ddh0:s
- will search for executable files in your dh0:s directory.
-
- BUGS:
- There is a problem if you are using the ARP library
- execute function, this is not a bug in fastmenu, but I
- recomend you to use the AmigaDos version.
-
- The shareware version also have a little internal stack
- problem, this is fixed in the Pro version, but this bug
- will never appear during normal use.
