Steve Headroom is a random talking head written in AMOS. With a
vocabulary of 190 digitized words, it requires 2 megs of chip ram,
ideally with a 4-color Workbench and nothing else major running.
This version, 1.6, should work with WB 1.3 thru 3.1.
If you got it online, it WILL fit onto two 880K floppies. Name them
SHRdisk1 and SHRdisk2. Drag MoreWords.abk from your hard drive onto
SHRdisk2. Move MoreWords.abk out of the SteveHR drawer on your hard
drive, then drag the SteveHR drawer onto SHRdisk1. Put MoreWords.abk
back into the SteveHR drawer on your hard drive.
If you got it on floppies, drag SteveHR onto your hard drive, open
it and put in MoreWords.abk. MoreWords.abk needs to be in the same
directory as SteveHeadroom.
This software is freely distributable, but with a few stipulations:
1) Include this ReadMe file. PD houses should mention in their
catalog that it requires 2 megs of chip ram. Online, try to say
"req 2M chip" or something to prevent needless downloads.
2) Disks should remain named SHRdisk1 and SHRdisk2.
The first time you run Steve Headroom on your system, it asks you to
center the screen and select some default settings. Just hit Return
3 times. If you later want to change the settings, delete the file
"SteveHeadroom.config" in your system's S directory, then next time
you run it the following attributes can be changed:
SCREEN - AMOS has its own ideas about locating screens left-right.
LOCATION Move it until you can see a single white line, click, then
fine-tune with your monitor's left-right knob if necessary.
TITLE - You can view or skip the title screen.
NUMBER - When set to 0, it talks until you click the mouse.
OF When set to a higher number, it will speak that many
SENTENCES sentences then exit to Workbench.
VIDEO - If this is set to 1, it will start and end with a black
screen that is displayed until you click the mouse.
This is only useful for recording the program to video
without also recording the Workbench. Default is 0.
One thing you can do is set title to 0, sentences to 1, video to 0,
then add something like this to the end of your s/user-startup:
;BEGIN SteveHeadroom
CD Work:SteveHR
SteveHeadroom
CD Sys:
;END SteveHeadroom
Then whenever you boot up, he'll speak a single sentence then
go away, revealing the Workbench.
