Short: Mathtrans.library speedup patch 1.0b
Author: Jess Sosnoski (at the below address!!!)
Uploader: starblaz@postoffice.ptd.net
Version: 1.0beta
Type: util/boot
Requires: kick 2.04
Long:
MTpatch 1.0beta © 1997 Jess Sosnoski
DESCRIPTION:
-----------
This patches the mathtrans library's SPFieee and SPTieee functions to
slightly faster ones. If you have tmathtrans.lha from aminet that I wrote
(it's V43.x), you won't need this, because that version of mathtrans.library
already has this code in it.
DISCLAIMER:
----------
Use this program at your own risk!
I assume no responsibility or liability for problem(s) and/or damage(s)
that occur by the use, modification, and/or existence of this product,
and/or its parts in any form.
But if it don't work right, or slows things down, don't be afraid
to send me email...or even send some email if it makes your system
outprocess a cray (yeah, right)
INSTALLATION:
------------
Copy it to your c: directory or wherever you like.
You can add the line run <>NIL: msbpatch to your startup-sequence, or
user-startup. You can give it an icon and put it in WBstartup.
You can basically put it anywhere :)
(I have mine a little after setpatch in my startup-sequence)
USAGE:
-----
run <>NIL: mtpatch
OUTPUT:
------
None...as I didn't feel like figuring out how to to text output
in assembly.
Although, if you don't have the right versions of the required libraries,
it will exit with a returncode of 20.
REMOVAL:
-------
sorry....once it's in...it stays in!
(didn't I hear Al Bundy say that to Peg once...hmmm....)
CAVEATS:
-------
Don't expect any miracles.
Opens mathtrans.library, and never closes it.
HISTORY:
-------
1.0 First Release
FUTURE:
------
Make this doc file a bit more presentable, and maybe leave it as plain
text without Amigaguide OR HTML just for kicks.
Write a more accurate test program, and maybe include it in the archive.
Make the patch exit, instead of hanging around.
One word: APATCH/ADPATCH/OPATCH--heheh, that's 3 words.
(or I could say what APATCH/ADPATCH/OPATCH are going to eventually be ;) )
THANKS TO:
---------
Adam "DC1" Polkosnik for ideas, help with sourcecode, and APATCH!
Dave "Termy" Jones, for help, ideas and StreamLineOS 2!
Iain "ook" Barclay, for optimizations, bugfixes, and opatch!
Everyone who sent me emails, praise, and complaints....your input
was greatly appreciated!!!!
BUGS:
----
Hmmm...what would Tom say, ohyeah, um....possibly.
But, I personally didn't find any...but if you do....email me :)
