Short: Displays random image at bootup Uploader: Mario Speranda Type: util/boot Requires: OS 2.04 or higher, PAL Autor: Mario Speranda Yes, it's true. Another one of those darn boot image display systems. When started from CLI, RatSalad displays a random IFF-ILBM file from a given directory, but when started wrom WB, it closes the previously open screen. So, you can call the executable from startup-sequence and it will display an image until it is called again by WBStartup. Cunning, huh? To install simply execute the script. You will be asked to insert C:RatSalad in your startup-sequence manualy. That line should be somewhere behind SetPatch and similar patches. I've included my startup-sequence in the archive, have a looksee if you're not sure where to insert RatSalad exactly. If you don't want to use s:ratsalad for your image directory, you can use an alternative one and supply its pathname as RatSalad's first argument. One way or another, the target directory should contain NOTHING BUT IFF-ILBM images. BTW, RatSalad is named after a BlackSabbath song and is absolutely free. Use it, modify it - I don't care. I'm not to be blamed if it does anything nasty. All I can say is "works fine for me". The example images were drawn by various other people. ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 1188 537 54.7% 14-Mar-01 17:46:38 RatSalad.info 200 144 28.0% 14-Mar-01 17:49:36 +Install 1810 955 47.2% 14-Mar-01 17:46:38 +Install.info 4232 2830 33.1% 14-Mar-01 17:39:00 +RatSalad.68020 5042 2151 57.3% 14-Mar-01 17:17:38 +RatSalad.c 1332 747 43.9% 15-Mar-01 00:13:20 +RatSalad.readme 1391 504 63.7% 14-Mar-01 17:46:38 +RatSalad.readme.info 918 500 45.5% 14-Mar-01 02:11:54 +startup-example 1391 506 63.6% 14-Mar-01 17:46:38 +startup-example.info 4264 2882 32.4% 14-Mar-01 17:37:30 +RatSalad 28894 18624 35.5% 14-Mar-01 16:11:36 +1.iff 71818 57062 20.5% 14-Mar-01 16:11:38 +amiga_os.ilbm 40622 33025 18.7% 14-Mar-01 02:41:52 +Dino in action.lbm 450 172 61.7% 14-Mar-01 16:10:30 +RatSalad.info -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 163552 120639 26.2% 17-Mar-101 17:13:08 14 files
