Short: Program to handle ADF-files! With Source! Author: the_shark@gmx.de (Andreas Etzrodt) Uploader: the_shark@gmx.de (Andreas Etzrodt) Version: V2.20 Type: disk/misc Description: Nice little utility which has a pretty nice interface, and is very simple to use! Ever thought of packing/unpacking adf-files this is the tool for you! Requirements: - OS 2+ - Some fastmem (1 MB WILL NOT be enough!) - Ruby Fonts! I guess everyone with 2.0+ has these fonts?!? Features: - It's CardWare. - Programmed in 100% Blitz Basic language ADFBLITZER v1.2 By Magnus Lundin! 13-Feb-1998 ADFBlitzer V2.0+ By Andreas Etzrodt! since 25-Sep-2000 How to install ADFBLITZER Just put the icon where you want on the hd and double-click on the icon. How to use it! When you start it you have three buttons to choose from: Write: Lets you write an adf-file from your harddisk to your diskdrive (DF0: to DF3:!) Read: Lets you create an adf-file from dfx: (DF0: to DF3:) to your Harddisk! Quit: HMMM!??!??!? Wonder what that could be? Have a look at the menu! You can see there the same "buttons". You can also use your keyboard to control the program. Just press Right-Amiga-W to write an ADF, Right-Amiga-R to read an ADF, Right-Amiga-? to show the About-Requester and Richt-Amiga-Q to quit the program. If you want to change the diskdrive which ADFBlitzer writes to and reads from you just have to select the proper Menu-Item in the "Drive"-Menu. ADFBlitzer has been coded by Magnus Lundin (elp@algonet.se) up to V1.2. As he didn't do a new version I asked him to give the source away. He sent it (based on V1.1) to me and gave me the permission to publish the new version. ADFBlitzer V2.0 and up are coded by Andreas Etzrodt, based on the code by Magnus Lundin. ADFBLITZER is provided "AS IS" without warranty of any kind, and the authoris not responsible for any damage this software may do. ADFBlitzer is Cardware. If you like it I request a picture postcard from your hometown! I really love getting postcards. So please be honest. The source code is released as Cardware, too! If you use parts of it you have to send a postcard to my address. Please don't spread altered versions of ADF-Blitzer without my permission. History ------- changes by Andreas Etzrodt: V2.20 (28-May-2001): - Now it's possible to select the drive via keyboard - slightly changed an error message - added a new error message (if disk is write protected) - inhibit the drive to prevent other tasks accessing it - changed "by Lundin/Etzrodt" to "Etzrodt/Lundin" :-) V2.10 (08-Dec-2000): - now you can also use DF1-DF3! - removed a little bug (CPU-consumption) V2.00 (25-Sep-2000): - some code-optimizations (removed "Gotos", changed the code for the button-check, removed some unnecessary variables) - removed the background-pic (caused some trouble with palette) - improved (?) the GUI a little bit - added a menu - added an About-Requester (Menu) - added a close-gadget at the window-border - added keyboard-support Future ------ Any suggestions? What I can't do at the moment: add support for non-disk-drives (RAD:, other "Harddrive-Floppy-Emulators"). And: add a progress indicator. At least the progress indicator is very important for me. So I will do my best to find a way to support it. If you know how to code in Blitz Basic: please help me! Look at the Source-code and tell me if it's possible to implement a progress indicator.
