Short: Stylish & Colourful Workbench Clock Author: Gareth Murfin (gazy@globalnet.co.uk) Uploader: Gareth Murfin (gazy@globalnet.co.uk) Type: util/boot AmiClock v1.0b - By Gareth Murfin aka Gaz ----------------------------------------- This is a nice little Clock which I coded in Blitz, it has the date on it and should adapt to your workbench colours nicely so it can sit in the corner and inform you of the time all day long. This is why I have made it a BootUp utility because it can be started on every boot and still not look out of place. It has some extra features because I tried to get the most out of using BlitzBasic, they are :- o Needs NO installation, drag into your WBstartup drawer and its done! o Says an automated message on innitiation and closure (cool words :) o Uses Blitz Say and not Commodore, this SHOULD be more realistic :) o Can be ran simply by double clicking o Makes rebooting more interesting! o Works on ALL versions of Workbench and Setpatch * o Works on ALL Amiga's * o No Special requirements *² * This is TRUE in theory although it has only been tested on :- Workbench 3.1 + Amiga International® SetPatch 97 running on my A1200Tg 040/25/25/MMU + 18Meg RAM + 2xCD,520HD, *² Well actually there are very basic requirements, these are :- A battery backed up clock (Most Accelerators have these) The Translator.lib (included, simply copy to LIBS:) Right then, install this and then let me know what you think via email (gazy@globalnet.co.uk) Also look out on AmiNet for my other creations which are :- Dwarfx24.lha - The Ultimate AmIRC enhancement package Theme040.lha - An 040 patch for ThemePark ZombieFest.lha - A small Zombie Music and Gfx demo Dwarfdemo.lha - A small Music and Gfx demo with nice scrolling text Other Cool Utilities Ive made in Blitz Include :- AmiClock10a.lha - A nice Blitz Clock with date AmiGreet10a.lha - Greets you on BootUp AmiBlank10a.lha - Funky ScreenSaver! AmiTip10a.lha - Gives you a Tip every day of the year! At the moment I have coded in BlitzBasic, Arexx, Dos and Reality, I hope to learn C++ in the future but right now Im working on a game in BlitzBasic, let me know if you want to help or you just want details...
