-
- NonClick is written in 100% DevPac Assembler on Amiga 3000.
-
- This program works only under AmigaDOS 2.0 because it uses noclick-flag in
- trackdisk.device. This flag is only availible from rev 36 and higher.
-
- Why use NonClick?
-
- NonClick changes the noclick-flag in trackdisk.device so that the diskdrives
- will stop their annoying sound. After doing that, the program will close and
- exit. Therefore NonClick will not take up memory or processor-time once it
- has done its job. NonClick in not likely to disturb or be disturbed by other
- programs, since it is only in memory for a very short time. NonClick can
- turn the clicking back on if You should like to do that. NewPrint is fairly
- short, 4532 bytes when listed.
-
- Why would anyone like to tur clicking back on?
-
- Some programs that are not so good written dont like that the clicking is
- turned off. Some will not recognise the drives and some will not recognise
- a diskchange. Besides, I think a good program should be able to "undo" what
- it has done.
-
- How to run NonClick from WorkBench:
-
- Double-click on it's icon. A small window will open on the screen. In the
- window You will find seven gadgets. The top four are used to set clicking on
- or off for each drive (df0: - df3:). Drives not found by the system whill
- appear "ghosted" and do not respond to input. The gadgets reflect the current
- settings for each drive. Tho change the settings, just click the left mouse
- button on the drive gadget You want to change. Under the four drive.gadgets
- are three more gadgets: <OK> <QUIT> and <CANCEL>
-
- <OK> will execute the changes that You made, close the window and rest in the
- background. You kan open the window again by choosing NonClick from the
- Tools menu on the WorkBench screen.
-
- <QUIT> will execute the changes made, and end the program.
-
- <CANCEL> will close the window without executing changes made. NonClick is
- resting in Tools-menu like described under <OK>.
-
-
- Syntax for NonClick:
-
- From Shell/CLI
-
- NonClick <-|+Unit#>
-
- -h or -? Prints a short help-text.
- -a Turns clicking off on all drives found by system.
- +a Turns clicking on on all drives.
- -0 or +0 Turns df0: off or on respectively.
- -1 or +1 Turns df1: off or on respectively.
- -2 or +2 Turns df2: off or on respectively.
- -3 or +3 Turns df3: off or on respectively.
-
- Example:
- NonClick -02 Turns clicking off on drives df0: and df2:
- NonClick -0+1-2 Same as above, but also turns clicking on on df1:
- NonClick -a+3 Turns clicking off on all drives exept df3:
-
-
- WorkBench:
-
- <OK> Execute changes made and close window. Program rests in
- WorkBench's Tools menu.
-
- <QUIT> Execute changes made and quit.
-
- <CANCEL> Does not execute changes. Program closes window and rests
- in WorkBench's Tools menu.
