Demo Mania I 1994
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You can activate a help function in the search and in the writemenu.
This can be done by clicking on the 'Hilfe' gadget. After that, every
button, you are clicking on, will pop up a window with additional help for
the selected gadget.
You can walk trough the demo list by using your mouse or if you prefer
using your keybord you can use the following key shortcuts.
>+< or cursor-down next demo
>-< or cursor-up previous demo
>E< or Return writes demo on disc
>S< starts demo-search
>I< information window
>B< finish session
The searchwindow:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You can either search for a name, a group or a piece of comment of a demo.
If you search for a name of a demo it's very fast, because the search
algorithm is working in memory. In contrary, if you are searching for a
group or a piece of comment it will take a litle bit longer, because some
datas will be loaded from your CD-ROM drive.
The searchmode can be started in both sides. You can change this direction
by clicking either on 'Vorwärts' for a search to the end of the list or
'Rückwärts' to the beginning of the demo list.
If a demo is found you can start the writingprocess by clicking on the
'Entpacken' gadget. Then the selected demo will be writte on the choosen
drive which can be selecte in the list on the top of this window.
The writingwindow
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you prefere that all demos are written with 'Verify' on your disks, you
can choose 'Verify'.
With no verify it's not guaranteed, that the selected demo will be
transfered correctly on disk if the disk has as surface damage.
If you are sure that the selected disk has no damage you can deactivate the
verify function to obtain the full writing speed.
While the demo is writing on disk you can interrupt this process by
pressing the close-gadget on the left edge of the window. But the result
will be that this demo will certainly not run correctly.
StartRC
~~~~~~~~~
This programm should be started every time you are booting your Workbench.
The mainprogramm will certainly run without this tool, but requesters won't
pop up under your mouse and you can't use your keyboard to reply this
windows.
