MINITOOL V1.3
By Nicholas Harvey
14 October 1990
Thankyou for taking an interest in my little program, I am sure that
you will find some use for it somewhere!
Running Minitool:
From Workbench - Double click on its Icon
From the CLI - Either 1. Type RUN MINITOOL
or 2. Type MINITOOL ? for a list of options for
executing functions from the CLI
e.g. MINITOOL -60hz -0led
This turns off the Audio filter and enables 60hz screen mode.
So, what does minitool actually do?
Well, it is a small collection of gadgets that you can click on. Each
gadget has a different function:
60HZ, 50HZ, LED0, LED1, HELP & INFO
60HZ and 50HZ change between PAL and NTSC screen frequencies. This
means that you can use the 60HZ function to make all those ST ported
programs fill the entire PAL screen. There is only one drawback to
this function though, and that is that it can only be used on TVs and
monitors that can take a 60HZ video input. If your display suddenly
vanishes behind a flickering, rolling mess of colour then your TV or
monitor can not take the pace of the 60HZ video signal! Sorry, but
that's life I'm afraid! You also need to have the new fatter agnus
chip fitted to your machine. If you have one fitted then selecting
this option will have the effect described above.
LED0 and LED1 change the status of the power LED on your Amiga. LED0
will dim/turn off your power LED and LED1 does the opposite. As well
as doing this, the audio lopass filter will also be turned on/off in
relation to the LED. With the lopass filter off, sound quality is
greatly enhanced. Just try it and see! There is also a drawback to
these functions too. If you own an Amiga 1000 then only your power LED
will be effected. The lopass filter will remain on all the time.
HELP displays a VERY brief version of these instructions, and INFO
tells you a little about the program and me.
So, I hope you can find a use for my program. You can't complain about
its size as it is a mere 2100 Bytes long! So, bung it on your disks
and spread it around a bit.
Minitool is totally free PD so just enjoy using it!
