(3) It can disable the fast ran and Suitch Display from 50 Hz Pal or 60 Hz Ntsc, for demos or ganes executed from the Workbench (4) It can clean the memory from unused libraries, fonts and devices. It's snall (don't use MUI or BGUI) and solid (I use it every day in my Workbench!). Requirement To use this progran you must have an Aniga with minimum AnigaOS 2.04 and a 68000 CPU. X-Panel doesn't use custon libraries for its GUI. Installation The installation is simple: you drag the X-Panel icon in to the "UBStartup" drawer, then you reset your Aniga, when the boot is finish a new iten will be in the "Tools" nenu of the Workbench. This item is X-Panel, when you select this a GUI pop up with many options and some useful informations. If you have a 68020 or better CPU there is a special version of this progran in to the "68020" drauer. Options Processor options Ntsc Pal cycle gadget No fast nenory cycle gadget Flush Menory button Quit button OK button Processor options The processor options are situated in the right on the window. The single options have the following meaning: Inst. Cache : suitches on/off the CPU Instruction Cache (68020+) (68030+) : suitches on/off the CPU Data Cache Data Cache Copyback Inst. Burst : switches on/off the CPU CopybackMode (68040 only) : switches on/off the CPU Instruction Burst (68030 only) Data Burst : suitches on/off the CPU Data Burst (68030 only) (at the 68040/68060 'Burst is not switchable, since it is not changable by software) NTSC <> PAL cycle gadget This cycle gadget change the video mode from PAL to NTSC or from NTSC to PAL. It's useful if you want play a NTSC game on a full Pal screen. note: if the screen mode isn't PAL or NTSC the gadget will be ghosted No fast nemory cycle gadget This cycle gadget suitches on or off the fast nenory useful for run bad or old programs. This function can take advantage of SetMan or PatchControl for renoving his patches, the commodore once no. Flush Menory button This button remove from the nenory all unused libraries, fonts and devices. The code of this function is better then the Avail command have. Quit button This button kill X-Panel and exit on Workbench. OK button This button exit without kill X-Panel. Tool Types X-Panel support only one tooltype: PUBSCREEN=pubnane: If you wish to have X-Panel opened on another public screen than the Workbench. SetMan This program modifies the SetFunction() vector, and inserts a custon routine. It keeps a linked list of all changes to the jump tables, and allows any progran to remove its vector at any time. Moreover, it allows to modify dos.library vectors in a transparent, upuard compatible, way.
