Congratulations! You have a nifty new (well, when I wrote this it was new!)
piece of software here! If you have ARexx you will be able to make all sorts
of slideshow or other graphics display programs with it.
If you don't have ARexx, either get it or throw out this directory -- there's
nothing here you can use.
There are three programs here:
RxSlides is a background program to pop up pictures on command. Without
a command from ARexx, it will just sit in your Amiga's memory taking up
space and not doing anything else -- that is, if you have ARexx. If you
don't have ARexx, it will just exit as soon as it discovers that it can't
open the Rexx system library. If you are running ARexx and Wshell, you can
get rid of RxSlides by doing (with the quotes!) "address slides exit".
autosli.rexx is a Rexx program to show pictures. If you have ARexx, make
a disk with some IFF picture files (320 x 200 size) named whatever.pic in
the root directory; copy autosli.rexx and RxSlides to ram: ;
startup Rexx; cd ram: ; and run autosli. Then write your own Rexx front
end to RxSlides!
saysts.rexx is a Rexx program to translate RxSlides error codes to messages.
To keep the size of RxSlides to a minimum, I didn't put any "printf"
statements in it, and just returned error codes to Rexx. Either copy the
"saysts: procedure" stuff out of autosli.rexx to use in your Rexx slide
programs, or if your programs return an error code, do "saysts <error #>"
to find out what it means.
