- ZOOM!
- (c) 1990 MKSoft
-
- Zoom! is an Assembly-Code program that replaces PopCLI,
- QuickMouse, and a screen-controling program all in 1.5K!
-
- To run Zoom!, either use it's icon or use RUNBACK from the
- CLI. It will not let itself be started more than once.
-
- Features:
-
- PopCLI: By pressing the Left-Amiga key and the ESC key at the
- same time, it will do a NewCLI command. If you have
- WShell from William Hawes, just Alias newcli to NewWSH.
-
- Blank: Zoom! will blank the screen after 300 seconds. You can
- change the blanking time by pressing Left-Amiga and
- F1 for 3 seconds, F2 for 300 seconds, and F3 for 30000
- seconds. It will restore the screen if any keyboard,
- mouse, or other user I/O happens. The way Zoom! blanks
- the screen is to open a 1-bit plane, low-res 100x16
- screen that takes very little memory and even less
- DMA time. Zoom! then turns display DMA off so that
- your system can use this for hard-disk DMA, floppy
- DMA, or just non-interferance with the CPU.
-
- Point: Zoom! will blank the mouse pointer after 10 seconds of
- no mouse movement. This gets the mouse pointer out of
- the way. Any mouse movement will bring back the pointer.
-
- Zoom: Zoom! will also make your mouse faster. If you move your
- mouse faster than 3-ticks per I/O message, Zoom! will
- accelerate it. Thus, you can have a fast mouse when you
- needed and still have fine resolution without giving
- up either.
-
- Zoom! may also be terminated by pressing Left-Amiga, CTRL, and ESC
