- Pyro! (C) 1988 By: Steve Jacobs & Jim Boyd (JULY 3, 1988- Just in time!)
- THIS PROGRAM IS FREEWARE, UPLOAD IT! GIVE IT TO YOUR FRIENDS AND ENEMIES!
-
- *******************NEW VERSION**********************
-
- Pyro! is a screen blanking program that goes beyond the normal screen
- blanking process. If there are ABSOLUTELY NO input events (mouse movements,
- keyboard presses or disks inserted or removed) Pyro! Takes over and starts
- a little fireworks display in color. As soon as Pyro! detects any input
- messages it closes down the fireworks display and you are right back
- where you were.
-
- To Unload Pyro! press and hold down the CTRL key and the Left AMIGA
- key. Pyro! will tell you if it cleaned itself up.
-
- The no events time is preset to about 2.5 minutes. You can now set
- the delay time by entering the number of 10ths of seconds before the fireworks
- start. For example:
-
- run pyro 50 :Waits 5 seconds
- run pyro 600 :Waits 60 seconds
-
- To those of you that had memory problems before, try this one. Pyro! opens a
- 320 x 200, 5 bitplane screen, and is compiled to load into FAST memory. I
- made no changes to that portion of the program, but I'm not really sure what
- version of Pyro! was out there. Steve released this the first time.
-
- Speaking of Steve, I'd like to make an editorial comment. He sold his AMIGA
- and is now the owner of a Mac. His 1000 was destroyed by a bad hard drive
- interface - and to make a long story short, it took 6 months to get it fixed
- due to Commode-Door's sterling support. Steve was president of our (Charlotte,
- NC) users group, a rabid Amiga fan and a creative programmer. We had many
- plans for future work. What's going to happen to the rest of us when our 1000
- dies? Are we to defect also or upgrade? C'mon Commodore, get your act
- together!
-
- ps: Any bugs leave EMAIL to me on People Link.

- Enjoy! - Jim Boyd (P-link DOUBLE-E)
