- Gadgets for OS selection during startup
- .description
- This program started out as a simple program to solve a simple
- problem - choose to boot into AmigaOS or NetBSD on a machine
- that had both options available at startup time BEFORE going
- through all of the Startup-Sequence. This was originally done
- using Nico Francois' excellent ReqTools package. After requests
- came asking for timeout I decided that using Intuition directly
- was best so the original version was completely scrapped and
- what is now here came to be. I added a timeout and default
- feature allowing BReq to go through a default option after a
- certain amount of time had passed. Realizing that the timeout
- might be quite long I added a blanker (quite simple once I got
- the idea of IDCMP) and it was quite silly of me not to make
- both buttons (or gadgets rather) alterable - so now both gads
- can be altered on the command line.
