- Survey:
-
- BootPic allows you to install, instead of the Workbench-hand that appears after
- every reset, nearly any picture you like.
- Now it's also possible to play a MED-Module while the picture is shown.
- BootPic can be started either from Workbench or CLI.
-
- When starting from WB a window with five gadgets will open:
-
- Install Picture : A stringgadget will be displayed, where you can enter the
- name of an ILBM-file.
- If you started BootPic by activating BootPic ,then holding
- the SHIFT-key and choosing an IFF-file, its name will be
- displayed and all you have to do is to press RETURN.
- After that you may decide whether to load a MED-Module or
- not.
- Remove Picture : Does exactly that.
- Check all drives : if this gadget is active, BootPic will check any connected
- drive for a bootable disk. [ only makes sense with OS 2.0 ]
- Color-Cycling : Enables color-cycling
- Info : Displays a little Info-window.
-
-
- The following parameters are accepted when starting from CLI :
- [If no parameters are specified, the intuition-window will open.]
-
- BootPic -e | -l{IFF-File} [-m{MED-Module}][-s][-r][-c rgb][-k][-y]
-
- -l{IFF-file} removes, if there, an already installed picture and tries to load
- a new one.
- -e removes, if there, an already installed picture
-
- The following parameters just work with -l :
- -m loads a MED-Module
- -s loads the picture specified by -l only if there wasn't yet
- installed a picture.
- -r resets the Amiga after loading the picture.
- -c specifies color that is faded in after showing the picture.
- (r, g and b MUST be entered hexadecimal, so values from 0-9 and
- A-F are valid.)
- -k enables checking of all drives
- -y enables color-cycling
-
- IMPORTANT:
-
- !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BootPic is SHAREWARE. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
