Short: DPMS Matrix screen blanker (bugfix)
Author: Olivier Fabre <off@free.fr>
Uploader: Olivier Fabre <off@free.fr>
Version: 1.5
Type: util/blank
Requires: 68020, OS3.1; CGX/P96 for DPMS
Date: 25.10.2000
Replaces: util/blank/Matrix.lha
Distribution: Freeware
Matrix is a system friendly screen blanker (commodity, tested on several
configurations and with Enforcer/WipeOut/PatchWork).
It will work on OCS/ECS/AGA, but requires CGX or P96 for DPMS management
(power consumption reduction). DPMS for ECS/AGA should follow.
Installation is easy : just drag it into WBStartup and edit the tooltypes
if you wish to change the default settings.
French and English AmigaGuide docs included.
=====
Due to Aminet not accepting lh6 compressed Lha archives and not saying so
in the upload doc, you get this version almost one month too late. You are
welcome to check for new versions on my web page at
http://off.free.fr/Matrix/ (or /matrix/, maybe...).
===== Changes since last release (v1.4):
· Bugfix : the blanker sometimes wouldn't start blanking...
· Compiled with VBCC 0.7 and v44 includes (yes, I was using older stuff..).
[Thanks to Henes for making me realise this ;)]
· Doesn't display an error message anymore when a second instance of Matrix
is run in order to kill the first one (Matrix must be run from the Shell in
order to see error messages).
· When the Matrix animation is not playing, the blanker waits one second
between each events check instead of "Speed" * 1/50s. So it takes a bit
less CPU time.
· "UpsideDown" ToolType does not need a "=YES" anymore. [Thomas Chen]
· CharWidth/Height zoom default is now 50%. [Thomas Chen]
· Now also checks for mouse buttons when in "test" mode. [Thomas Chen]
· Added more error messages.
· Added BMF_DISPLAYABLE flag for the source BitMap, so that graphics are
stored in VRAM with CGX too (display should be faster). [Henes]
