Short: Displays gauge bar during booting and MORE Author: tcn@techbase.in-berlin.de (Timo C. Nentwig) Uploader: tcn@techbase.in-berlin.de (Timo C. Nentwig) Type: util/boot My A4k30 needs about 1 minute to boot. It was boring to wait all the time and just seeing a black screen. When I saw that the MAC (System 7.5.1+) had a boot gauge bar I began to develop an equal program and here it is: BootGauge BootGauge executes a specified startup-sequence and displays during that e.g. a gauge bar. But BootGauge offers you even more. BootGauge has been object orientated developed. This means that it is build up by several tasks/processes [in this case called "modules"]: mod_Time: Time/Date/Day information mod_Gauge: gauge bar telling you how much already has worked up mod_Devs: devices information mod_Mem: memory information mod_Text: displays current line executed and count of errors mod_Sys: CPU, FPU, Chip set, OS version, ... Every modules features a nice looking gtlayout GUI ;-) ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 79172 34166 56.8% 11-May-96 12:04:52 +BootGauge 1667 884 46.9% 08-May-96 18:04:08 +BootGauge.info 633 253 60.0% 11-May-96 12:04:48 +BootGauge.lnk 1044 591 43.3% 07-May-96 17:17:48 +BootGauge.readme 1402 516 63.1% 08-May-96 18:04:08 +BootGauge.readme.info 1233 819 33.5% 11-May-96 12:39:12 +help.info 41812 13904 66.7% 11-May-96 12:40:42 +BootGauge.guide 1822 951 47.8% 11-May-96 12:39:12 +BootGauge.guide.info 1741 628 63.9% 01-May-96 18:59:10 +Install 1916 1041 45.6% 08-May-96 18:04:08 +Install.info 1233 702 43.0% 11-May-96 12:39:16 +misc.info 661 403 39.0% 01-May-96 14:55:20 +BetaTester.readme 2300 826 64.0% 01-May-96 14:55:20 +BootGauge.prefs 19241 6255 67.4% 11-May-96 12:36:58 +header.txt 1044 591 43.3% 07-May-96 17:17:48 BootGauge.readme -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 156921 62530 60.1% 15-Jun-96 13:09:38 15 files
