REQUIREMENTS Any Amiga® (compatible) computer with at least OS3.5 and 68020+ cpu. DESCRIPTION WBCtrl allows you to control some undocumented features of the AmigaOS3.5 Workbench®. USAGE The program can only be started from shell, the following options are provided: MCM=MAXCOPYMEM/N/K,IMT=IMAGEMEMTYPE/K,DN=DRAWERNOTIFICATION/S, G=GAUGE/S,R=REFRESH/S,Q=QUERY/S MCM=MAXCOPYMEM/N/K: will set the maximum number of bytes the file copy code will use. Some SCSI controllers are not able to transfer more 32k at once because of this the default setting is 65536 bytes (two buffers, each 32k). IMT=IMAGEMEMTYPE/K: when set to FAST or ANY, wb/icon.lib will use fastram for imagedata (p96/cgx required!). Use CHIP for chipram. It's safe to use this option without p96/cgx as WBCtrl will check for an RTG system before actually performing the change. DN=DRAWERNOTIFICATION/S: enable/disable drawer notification: "if enabled, Workbench will be notified of changes in every 'Show all files' mode drawer. Every time a notification arrives, Workbench will reread the drawer." G=GAUGE/S: disable/enable the Workbench volume fill gauges. Any open volume/root drawer window will *not* be updated. You must close them first. R=REFRESH/S: use this option in conjunction with G=GAUGE/S and WBCtrl will update the drawer windows for you. Q=QUERY/S: show current settings. INSTALLATION Copy the program to your C: directory. HISTORY 1.0 first public release for os35 beta testers. 1.1 added REFRESH/S option.
