NonClick is written in 100% DevPac Assembler on Amiga 3000.
This program works only under AmigaDOS 2.0 because it uses noclick-flag in
trackdisk.device. This flag is only availible from rev 36 and higher.
Why use NonClick?
NonClick changes the noclick-flag in trackdisk.device so that the diskdrives
will stop their annoying sound. After doing that, the program will close and
exit. Therefore NonClick will not take up memory or processor-time once it
has done its job. NonClick in not likely to disturb or be disturbed by other
programs, since it is only in memory for a very short time. NonClick can
turn the clicking back on if You should like to do that. NewPrint is fairly
short, 4532 bytes when listed.
Why would anyone like to tur clicking back on?
Some programs that are not so good written dont like that the clicking is
turned off. Some will not recognise the drives and some will not recognise
a diskchange. Besides, I think a good program should be able to "undo" what
it has done.
How to run NonClick from WorkBench:
Double-click on it's icon. A small window will open on the screen. In the
window You will find seven gadgets. The top four are used to set clicking on
or off for each drive (df0: - df3:). Drives not found by the system whill
appear "ghosted" and do not respond to input. The gadgets reflect the current
settings for each drive. Tho change the settings, just click the left mouse
button on the drive gadget You want to change. Under the four drive.gadgets
are three more gadgets: <OK> <QUIT> and <CANCEL>
<OK> will execute the changes that You made, close the window and rest in the
background. You kan open the window again by choosing NonClick from the
Tools menu on the WorkBench screen.
<QUIT> will execute the changes made, and end the program.
<CANCEL> will close the window without executing changes made. NonClick is
resting in Tools-menu like described under <OK>.
Syntax for NonClick:
From Shell/CLI
NonClick <-|+Unit#>
-h or -? Prints a short help-text.
-a Turns clicking off on all drives found by system.
+a Turns clicking on on all drives.
-0 or +0 Turns df0: off or on respectively.
-1 or +1 Turns df1: off or on respectively.
-2 or +2 Turns df2: off or on respectively.
-3 or +3 Turns df3: off or on respectively.
Example:
NonClick -02 Turns clicking off on drives df0: and df2:
NonClick -0+1-2 Same as above, but also turns clicking on on df1:
NonClick -a+3 Turns clicking off on all drives exept df3:
WorkBench:
<OK> Execute changes made and close window. Program rests in
WorkBench's Tools menu.
<QUIT> Execute changes made and quit.
<CANCEL> Does not execute changes. Program closes window and rests
in WorkBench's Tools menu.
There are no bugs that I know of. If You find any, please let me know.
