C-Show 1.2
© 1989 by Ralph Ciper
---------------------
C-Show displays an IFF picture and exits, leaving the picture displayed
until C-Show runs again and replaces or removes it. It can be used at the
beginning of the startup-sequence to display a picture while it is
executing, then at the end remove the picture.
Consider this utilitarian use: You've written a major program. Put the
program and a fancy introductory screen on a boot disk. Display the art
screen during the booting process, turn off the picture and start the
program.
You could also create an automated booting slide presentation complete
with pauses, using the WAIT command of AmigaDOS.
Here are the commands:
C-Show ifffile.pic ; displays Iff picture file "ifffile.pic"
; and removes old C-Show picture (if any)
C-Show ; removes C-Show Picture (if any)
NOTES
The front and back gadgets work but are invisible. They're in the upper
right corner. They may be out of bounds for overscan pictures and some
brushes. In these cases, use Left-Amiga N|M to move picture to back until
needed.
Pictures are displayed on a screen "C-Show 1.2, by Ralph Ciper\n" and
this screen name should not be changed. If a picture is removed from display
by a process other than C-Show, 32 bytes will be lost from the free memory
pool until reboot.
An earlier version guru'd on half-bright pictures. Thanks to Joel
Salazar for that error report. It should show them correctly now.
This was written in Lattice C 5.02. If you would like the source code
to the program, send $5 for diskette and handling to Ralph Ciper, 14337
Diplomat Dr., Tampa, FL 33613.
If you have any comment on this program, or any other program I've
written, I would like to hear from you.
