- CLI TOOLS!!
- ~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- Here we have a few programs you can use to improve the design
- and layout of your own disks. All you have to do is copy them
- over to your own disks, run the hacks from your Startup-sequence
- et voila! Lovely looking disks can be yours for evermore.....
-
- Please Note:
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~
- These are CLI utilities, and some can only be run VIA the CLI,
- the icons are here to enable you to drag the utils you
- require onto your own disks, NOT for running the tools. If
- you want to see the hacks in action go into the CLI and
- press each of the function keys for a different example!!
-
-
- Right then, first of all we have 3 CLI-Background Utilities
- courtesy of REAPER of THE POWERLORDS U.K.:

- BLACKOUT
- ~~~~~~~~
- Turns everything BLACK!! Handy if you want to keep a few things
- hidden, or just for making things look neater! Handy to use
- BEFORE issuing the Rainbow command for a nice effect! (Multi
- Coloured text on a black background!)
- Can be run via the Icon, but as it turns everything black it's
- not really advisable 'cause you can't carry on using the
- workbench!!
-
- CLI Useage: BLACKOUT

-
- RASTERS
- ~~~~~~~
- Turns the screen various shades of blue, colours in your
- text and sets some bars spinning around!! Nice to put at
- the beginning of your disks! Press your Left mouse button
- to continue with the startup-sequence.
- Will work via workbench but doesn't multi-task, i.e the bars
- will appear over your Workbench screen but all other activity
- will stop til you click your left mousebutton.
-
- CLI Useage: RASTERS
-
-
- BAR
- ~~~
- Gives a bouncing Purple bar over the screen, use over Black
- paper - Black Ink for best effects (Say after the Blackout
- command) Pressing the Left Mouse Button continues the sequence.
- This one will also run via it's icon, but as with Rasters,
- will not multi-task and the bar will disappear when you click
- the left mouse button!
-
- CLI Useage: BAR

-
- COPYING
- ~~~~~~~
-
- Copying the commands on to your own disks can be done in a
- couple of ways:
-
- i - Via Workbench. Click on the Utilities icons and drag
- across onto your own disks.
-
- ii - Via CLI. Double click the CLI Icon (Found in this
- drawer) and type the following:
-
- ONE DRIVE OWNERS
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- ** Type COPY C/COPY TO RAM:
- Puts the COPY command in the Ram Disk.
-
- ** Type COPY CLI-UTILS/{NAME_OF_TOOL} TO RAM:
-
- {NAME_OF_TOOL} can be any of the CLI-TOOLS:
-
- CLI-BACK1 CLI-BACK2 CLI-BACK3 RAINBOW SLIDE STARS
- RASTERS BAR
-
- e.g to copy Rainbow to Ram you would type:
- COPY CLI-TOOLS/RAINBOW TO RAM:
-
- Repeat the above command until you have copied all
- the tools you require into the RAM Disk.
-
- ** Once copying to RAM has finished, Remove Update 12
- from your drive and Insert your destination disk.
-
- ** Type RAM:COPY RAM:{NAME_OF_TOOL} TO DF0:
- Repeat this line til all the tools you copied have
- been transfered from RAM: to your own disk.
-
- This puts the tool(s) onto your own disk, don't forget to
- edit the disks startup-sequence to incorporate your new hacks!
-
-
- TWO DRIVE SYSTEMS
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- ** Leave Update 12 in your internal drive, insert your
- destination disk into the external drive.
-
- ** Type COPY CLI-TOOLS/{NAME_OF_TOOL} TO DF1:
-
- Where {NAME_OF_TOOL} is any of the Cli-Tools:
-
- CLI-BACK1 CLI-BACK2 CLI-BACK3 RAINBOW SLIDE STARS
- RASTERS BAR
-
- Repeat this line 'til you have copied all the tools you
- require onto your own disk.
-
-
- Don't forget - if you want to test the tools before copying
- them over onto your own disks just go into the CLI (Icon
- found in this drawer) and press Function Keys 1 To 10 for
- an example!!
-
- Hope these instructions are OK! If you are unsure about
- copying/dragging the files across please refer to The Manual
- supplied with your machine, if you're still stuck give us a
- ring (0924) 366982 and we'll try and help!
-
- DAVE!
