SLEEPnn.PRG
a "delay" utility for your Atari ST's \auto\ folder.
Why SLEEP? If you turn on your ST and your hard drive at the same
time, the computer may "hang" because the drive isn't up to speed.
Make a folder on your A: disk named AUTO. Copy SLEEPnn.PRG into
it. Rename the program anything from SLEEP01.PRG to SLEEP99.PRG, where
the two-digit number reflects how many seconds you want to wait
for the hard drive to power up.
Then copy your hard disk driver (AHDI.PRG, SUPBOOT.PRG, or whatever)
into the folder, followed by any other AUTO utilities. Remember, they
will be run in the order in which they are copied.
SLEEP is intended for bulletin board system operators and other
owners of hard disks who need a way to have their computer recover
automatically from a power failure. Sleep well. :-)
This program is in the public domain. Feel free to distribute it,
including the source code. It was compiled with Sozobon C, the free
compiler from Sozobon, Ltd. (No bozos on this bus!)
