*****************************************************************************
* Instructions for SlideMaster version 0.1 Oct 24 1989 *
*****************************************************************************
SlideMaster can be run from the CLI or the workbench:
From the CLI: SlideMaster0.1 +[time] -[wipe] FileName .......
Displays picture FileName for [time] seconds, using the
[wipe] transition for this picture. Default time is 5
seconds, default wipes are random. A '!' at the end
makes it repeat in a loop. Pressing a key or mouse
button will exit show.
SlideMaster0.1
SlideMaster loads and becomes an ARexx host.
It will open a public port named 'SMASTER' and wait for
commands.
From the Workbench:
Using extended selection (pressing the shift key) select
the picture(s) you want to see, then double click on
SlideMaster0.1. All the pictures will be shown with 5
seconds per picture, and a random wipe. Pressing a key or
mouse button will exit show.
Double click on SlideMaster. This loads SlideMaster as
an ARexx host with a public port named 'SMASTER'
Using the wipes:
From the CLI:
The wipes are:
l = Left
r = Right
u = Up
d = Down
h2c = Horizontal To Center
hfc = Horizontal From Center
v2c = Vertical To Center
vfc = Vertical From Center
For example:
SlideMaster0.1 +7 -hfc df0:Lauran
From ARexx:
The first thing you need to do is specify the host (SlideMaster):
shell 'SMASTER'
or:
address 'SMASTER'
To load a picture:
loadpic <name>
This does not display it, however
Displaying the picture with a wipe:
wipe <motion>
The Possible motions are:
Left
Right
Up
Down
HorizToCenter
HorizFromCenter
VertToCenter
VertFromCenter
Quiting SlideMaster:
close
This will cause SlideMaster to close its port and exit.
Of course, before we can do any of this, SlideMaster must have been
loaded as an ARexx host (see above).
See 'Slide.REXX' for a complete example.
