--- NoClick, Copyright (C) 1992, 1993 EQU --- Preface ======= If you have used my tool before, you can skip these parts and just jump to the 'Changes' part. The purpose of the utility is to disable the click sound that an diskdrive makes if it has no disk in it. Notice that every (DF0-DF4) diskdrive will be 'NoClicked'. If the program is re-executed the diskdrive will restart to click. Requirements ============ Any model of the Amiga will do that is equipped with one or more diskdrives and an OS 2.0 (exec 36) or above. (!!! NOTICE !!! The statement in the NoClick 1.1 document file was absurd as exec.library V37 is in OS 2.1 and not in 2.0 so my excuses) Usage ===== You can place NoClick in any script file and run it as many times as you wish. I ran NoClick from the Workbench with the default tooltype without problems. (!!! NOTICE !!! The statement in the NoClick 1.1 document file was incorrect saying that NoClick couldn't be ran from Workbench, but it seems to work on my setup (OS 3.0)) Distribution ============ This utility is whatsoever software, so you can do anything you want with it. Last Words ========== The program is so simple that it's hard to upgrade it in any way, so the only thing I can do is to fix the occasional bugs found or improve the code. Ive never sat longer than 1 hour coding this, so it isnt really a pain in the butt to release one or two versions a year if there is need to. Sofar no Compiler-Optimizing has been done as i want to avoid this as far as possible. The executable is so small that there is absolutely no sense in packing it with a relocatible cruncher. Changes ======= NoClick 1.0 (Non-public version) - Initial release. NoClick 1.1 (Jan 21 1993) - The program, if ran under an older OS than 2.0, wouldn't check properly the OS version. Fixed. - A little code stripping done, final size 508 bytes (Unpacked format) NoClick 1.2 (Jun 28 1993) - If ran under OS 2.0 the program refused to work, cause of my stupid mistake. Fixed. - A lot of code approving done and safety/compatibility increased. - Compiled with SAS/C 6.3 - A little code stripping done, final size 468 bytes (Unpacked format) NoClick 1.3 (Jul 14 1993) - Total Workbench support added. As I tested MagicWB on my A1200, I noticed that NoClick would guru if it would have been installed in the WBStartup drawer with an supplied icon. Well this took quite long to figure out what was wrong with my code as NoClick worked from a default icon. I found out that Workbench sends out a message which has to be captured used or not. I also added the CurrentLock function, however Im not sure if this was necessery or not as I dont own a system reference guide on OS 2.0+. (The Icon for NoClick doesnt need !ANY! ToolTypes) - Well a disappointment is that the Workbench support made the program larger than 512 (~488) bytes so it now needs two blocks instead of one but I think I will survive this. Maybe someday I will have a closer look at the code and optimize it down to 512 bytes... - Features added, final size 576 bytes (Unpacked format) -EOF-
