Message-ID: <1991Apr24.192849.12855@ucselx.sdsu.edu> Date: 24 Apr 91 19:28:49 GMT Organization: San Diego State University Computing Services Lines: 46 Hi there, You! I know you know that I know you have a VERY SPECIAL costomized Startup-Sequence that you modify daily (or weekly) whenever you come across a net utility or patch (*sign*). Some of them detach and remain as a task, and others just change the OS codes to make it work better for you. I have in my Startup-Sequence the following programs: faccii, wtfpatch, makeVportpatch, newpop, clockDJ, Xsize, NoCare, Gomf, speedup, noclick, forfacc, mymenu, popupmenu, 3dlook, and I think that's all I can recall. All those utilities above in addition to some of the more relevant AmigaDos commands. Among my favorites, FaccII caches floppy reads into fast memory. similar to addbuffer, it helps your floppy disk accessing when the same data is read more then once. (huh?) ForFacc flushes this cache/buffer and give you back your memory when all floppy drives are empty. WTFpatch patches the intuition bug that lock-up your system when you attempt a windowtofront() call when an icon is selected/active. MakeVPortPatch patches the intution bug that sometimes locks up your system when you have a mixature of interlaced and non-interlaced screens. NewPop does screen blanking (with a changing-color-Q*X pattern) and provide hot-keys for invoking a newCLI. The screen blank can be switched on or prevented by placing your pointer in a designated corner of screen. XSize let you size your window the XWINDOWs style. NoCare speeds up your WorkBench window displays. Gomf tries to fix a guru-meditation when it occurs. Gomf is commercial. Speedup changes the rate your floppydrive reads the floppy. It can be used to speedup your floppy read/write by 2 times. THERE! I have revealed my centries collection of Amiga-inits. YOUR TURN!! :-) -- [unify] ************************************************************************* * All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in the rain. + *-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
