After reading a humerous article "JokeBench" in issue 1.2 of AmigoTimes, I became inspired. This little hack is the result of it. The program randomly throws up strange System Request. It runs in a loop and every 5 to 10 seconds pops another one onto your screen. There are only 12 different messages that it can choose from, so it will repeat itself. The program was written in AmigaBASIC and compiled with the absoft Basic Compiler. I have included a listing of the original BASIC code. It can be incorporated into any basic program you are writing. To use it just merge the file onto the end of your coding. (Check to see if there is no duplication of variable names.) I have fairly well documented the listing with REMark statement. You should be able to utilize it in whatever you are doing without too much hassle. Any problems leave me a message on the CA-AUG BBS. Enjoy: Michael Fahrion Oh yea, How do you get out of it?... When the requestor is on the screen click in it's window, but NOT on a button. Now there will be a pull down menu that says "QUIT". Select it and it's all over now baby blue.
