- CDTV Developer Tools Vol. II Rev. 3 3 march 1992
-
- This disk contains a set of tools useful for CDTV development. It is
- complimentary to the CDTV Tools Vol. I disk.
-
- Some of the directories (and their contents) on this disk
- have been compressed into single files using the freely
- redistributable program "LHArc". To "reconstitute" a
- particular directory, simply format a floppy or make a
- partition on your hard drive and copy the corresponding
- ".LZH" file to it. Also copy the program "LHArc".
- Change into this directory and issue the command:
-
- LHArc -m x clips.LZH
-
- (if you want to extract the clip art, that it.)
-
- Once LHArc has completed extracting the directory and the
- files in it, you may delete both the ".LZH" file and the
- program "LHArc".
-
- Note that some of the contents of this disk are copyrighted.

- -----------------
-
- Here is a brief summary of what you will find on the disk, and
- modifications from the Tools disk volume II.
-
-
- Directory Contents/modifications
- --------- ----------------------------------------
-
- CDSetMap The CDSetMap utility, intended for use in your startup-
- sequence, is used to set the global default keymap for
- your CDTV system, according to the language selected in
- Preferences. If the user has a keyboard attached to the
- CDTV player, the appropriate country keymap will be used.
-
- CDTV_Clips This directory contains Professional Draw, vector-based
- clipart of the CDTV logo, and symbols for the various
- categories of products (Education, Arts and Leisure, Music,
- etc.) This clipart can be read into any Amiga Desktop
- Publishing program that supports the Professional Draw clip
- format (Professional Page, Pagestream, etc.)
-
- cdtv_device This directory contains the autodocs for the cdtv.device.
- These documents describe in detail all the routines in the
- cdtv.device, their parameters, results, functions, and bugs.
- The cdtv.device.examples contains 'C' source code examples
- of how to call each routine.
-
- Debugtools The most recent versions of many important debugging tools
- for the Amiga. These include enforcer and mungwall, as well
- as report, the tool to generate bug reports. Many more
- debugging tools are included on the Software Toolkit II
- disk, part of the 2.0 Native Developer Update. Ask your
- local support manager (or CATS, for US developers) how to
- order a copy of the Update.
-
- Endrun This command, intended for startup-sequences, lets you
- execute a command after closing the Workbench screen,
- thereby saving a significant amount of memory.
-
- Includes Playerprefs.fd and Playerprefs_pragmas.h are essential to
- use the playerprefs.library, in the ROM of the CDTV. See
- the playerprefs autodocs on the CDTV Tools Vol. I disk.
-
- IsoVal Allan Purtle from Canadian Prototype Replicas is the author
- of this utility, which checks the structure of your
- AmigaDOS hard disk to determine if it is compliant with
- the rules for ISO 9660 volumes. Thanks, Allan!
-
- Quickstart This directory contains Quickstart and Makequick. These
- utilities let you load a set of files into a RAM disk,
- using the Burst mode of the CD.
-
- SetCDFS The SetCDFS utility lets you change certain parameters of
- an ISO 9660 image, such as size of directory cache, size of
- the read-ahead cache, etc. You can reduce the size of the
- directory cache from its default of 16K to gain memory for
- your application, at the risk of requiring an extra seek to
- find a file not in the cache. This utility can only be used
- after you have built your ISO image, using the ISO DevPak
- diskette or ISO-CD. Use with caution -- for experienced
- programmers only!
-
- Videodisc A set of tools to control videodisc players for digitizing
- images. Videodisc is a program allowing control of
- video devices via AREXX. The devs directory contains
- the videodisc and videotape drivers from AmigaVision.
- Grabb.rexx is a sample AREXX script to automate the
- digitizing process.
