SPEAKOFF
--------
The ATARI Falcon 030 has got a built-in speaker which produces very
loud and terrible sounding output after the computer is powered on
(why such a small mono-speaker for the F030...) You are able to switch
it off using GENERAL.CPX, but this won't have any effect on programs in
the AUTO-folder (because GENERAL.CPX is called by the desktop).
So SPEAKOFF is a (very) little programm for the AUTO-folder that
switches the internal speaker of the F030 off. When the SHIFT-key is
pressed, SPEAKOFF will not influence the speaker. The program
BOOTSOFF.PRG allows you to install a bootsector with the same routine
on a disk. Just select on which drive (if you have more than one) you
want to install the SPEAKOFF-bootsector, and BOOTSOFF will do it for
you. But don't forget that you can't install it on disks that already
have an executable bootsector without destroying the old one (BOOTSOFF
will warn you in that case)!
SPEAKOFF uses a non-documented feature to switch the internal speaker
off, but since GENERAL.CPX uses the same method, there shouldn't occur
any problems. Nevertheless, I do not undertake any responsibility on
damages which occur after the use of this program or a disk with the
SPEAKOFF-bootsector, run it at your own risk!
SPEAKOFF may be freely distributed, the only condition is that all
files (SPEAKOFF.PRG, BOOTSOFF.PRG and SPEAKOFF.TXT) are copied
completely and unchanged (archiving is allowed).
