- PIV Version 1.0 13-March-1991

-
-
- This little program replaces the familiar "Please Insert Volume FOO:"
- requester with one that offers more options than just Retry or Cancel.
- The replacement requester looks something like:
-
- |System Request====================[][]|
- | |
- | Volume foo |
- | is not mounted. You may: |
- | |
- |[RETRY ] after inserting the volume. |
- | |
- |[ASSIGN] the volume to [_____________]|
- | |
- |[MOUNT ] the device. |
- | |
- |[CANCEL] the operation. |
- +--------------------------------------+
-
- The new ASSIGN and MOUNT buttons will run the CLI commands of the same
- name, and a string gadget is provided for entering the directory to
- be assigned.
-
- As an added bonus, PIV keeps track of the last request that was cancelled,
- so if a request for the same volume comes up immediately, PIV won't even
- bother displaying the requester and will act like you just hit CANCEL
- again.
-
- INSTALLATION
-
- Just run PIV from the CLI (or put it in your startup-sequence). It will
- automatically detach itself from your CLI. To remove PIV, run it again.
-
- NOTES
-
- PIV is presently only useful under AmigaDOS 1.3. (It won't crash under
- 2.0, but 2.0 uses a different system call for System Requests, so PIV
- won't have any effect.)
