- =====================================
-
- This module's only really useful on a machine with low specs (I have a 2Mb
- A3K) where big memory hungry boot applications are not wanted. Also it's
- probably more useful for hackers rather then users.
-
- OK...so you are a hacker with a sad spec machine, heres the score:
-
- The bootfilter module should be RMLoaded in the root !Boot file, if your
- boot file is not an obey but a desktop boot file you are not a hacker in
- my sense of the word..
-
- What it does on initialisation is scans the keyboard for a key held down
- and sets a system variable, the value of which is determined by the key.
-
- Example extract from !Boot file:
-
- ...
- |-> Check which boot sequence to run
- RMLoad Modules:BootFilter
-
- IF BootType = "Clear" THEN Obey -c Configs:ClearBoot
- IF BootType = "DTP" THEN Obey -c Configs:DTPBoot
- ...
-
- The mapping from key to system variable value definitions are in the module.
- Load the module into a text editor and change the table at the end. You can
- add/remove entries as you wish.
-
- If no key is held down at bootup then the value "Default" is returned.
-
- Note that you don't need to hold the key down, simply tap it once when the
- cursor starts to flash in the top left of the screen.
-
- If the module doesn't seem to work Configure Caps.
