- Introduction and program description
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
- Back in 1993, a friend of mine who had just bought an AGA Amiga asked
- me to write a program that he could use to determine the numbers of
- colors of the WB screen in startup-files. He simply wanted to automate
- the proccess of starting some programs if the depth of the WB screen
- was 6 (64 colors).
-
- Being a helpful friend, I wrote ScreenDepth for him. ScreenDepth is
- basically a simple program with a simple CLI interface that outputs
- the numbers of colors or the depth of the asked screen. The outputed
- result can be used in script files.
-
-
