- Short: The best boot-time picture displayer!
- Author: calkowsk@us.edu.pl (Grzegorz Calkowski)
- Uploader: calkowsk@us.edu.pl
- Type: util/boot
- Replaces: util/boot/SysPic211.lha
-
- SysPic 3.00
-
- SysPic is a small but powerful viewer-like program meant to show a picture
- during the boot time.
-
- Features: * - a star feature :-)
-
- o is small & VERY fast! (picture decompression routines written
- in optimized assembly)
-
- o shows IFF-ILBM pictures of any size and resolution
-
- o supports AGA modes (also HAM8)
-
- o centers picture both horizontally & *vertically*
-
- * can fade-in picture and fade-out it to Workbench (with selectable
- rate) - this works in asynchronous manner (i.e no delays) -
- mouse pointer is also faded
-
- * has a very powerful random selector - an option assures that
- a picture won't show twice until all pictures are shown
-
- o forces Workbench to open behind the displayed picture so it can be
- closed after whole Workbench initialization
-
- * is iprefs-jump proof - sets overscan prefs before IPrefs will do it!
-
- o picture can be displayed in a desired mode or just promoted to
- specific monitor
-
- o blanks the pointer sprite so you won't see it when the Workbench
- screen opens (it would look annoying)
-
- * picture is automatically closed when something goes wrong with booting
- - when an requester pops up on Workbench or so
-
- o detaches from shell in an intelligent way (i.e after loading
- the picture)
-
- * DOES NOT fragment memory!!!
-
- o supports BeetLogin (closes it's 'fake' screen)
-
- o is 100% legal (and 100% AMOS free.... ;-)
-
- o has been tested with Enforcer, Mungwall & MemWatch
-
- * comes from Poland :))
