- AMOS Professional Misc Extension
- --------------------------------
-
- This extension should originally be shareware, but now AMOS won't be
- updated and it's a bit old too. So this extension is now Public Domain
- and includes source code (written in DevPac assembler). You may expand
- this extension or copy some routines to the code of your extension, but
- please, enter my name in the manual, such like: "Greetings to Frank Otto"
- or "some routines from Misc Extension by Frank Otto". Thanks!
-
- Maybe you already noticed that this extension is very buggy. Some commands
- force AMOS to crash. Maybe I'll create a new version, but why don't you?
- Just debug this extension and send it to Aminet. Do what you want with it,
- it's Public Domain!
-
- OK, to install it to AMOS Pro, just copy the "AMOSPro_Misc.Lib" to your
- APSystem folder, load the Interpreter config and enter at number 23
- "AMOSPro_Misc.Lib". Reboot AMOS Pro and...ready...!
-
- Now the new commands:
-
- Dled On Turns on drive led, don't ask me, where
- this is for, but maybe when the drive led
- doesn't stop reading, use the next command.
-
- Dled Off Turns off drive led.
-
- Display Off Turns display off. What you do, opening
- screens etc., you don't see anything.
-
- Display On Turns on display.
-
- Multi Off Turns off Multitasking and increases about
- 10 % speed.
-
- Multi On Turns Multitasking on. --WARNING-- you have to
- turn it on again before you go back to the
- editor or AMOS will crash.
-
- Mouse Off Hides mouse and sprite 0. Better than "hide"
- because the mouse is hidden forever, even in
- the editor.
- -->Suggestion: If you want to expand this
- extension, why not make a "Mouse On" command?
-
- Reset Resets your Amiga as if you press Ctrl+A+A and
- destroys all (?) viruses.
-
- Clear Ram Cleans up Memory by deleting all not-used
- fonts, libs, etc.
-
- Disk Wait Waits until you insert a new disk.
-
- Firewait Waits until pressing fire button. Nothing else
- than "While Fire(1)=0 : Wend" but more effective,
- cause it's in assembler. A great command for
- a pause function in a game.
- -->Suggestion: You can make more wait-commands that
- wait for left-mouse, right-,...
-
- Pal On Forces AMOS to display everything in PAL
- This command is not ready yet, it's very
- buggy and forces AMOS to crash, so be careful!
- -->Suggestion: debug this command and add "Pal Off"
- command that switches to Ntsc.
