What's new? 08-02-1992
===========
This new release of BigBrother is an update of V2.11 on Fish 473.
The purpose of the new release was to make BigBrother more compatible
with KickStart 2.0 and to add some usefull new features.
- 2.0 look gadgets. The colors used by BigBrother V3.12 may look strange
on a normal 1.2 or 1.3 machine.
Just use the following colors:
color 0 ---> 10,10,10
color 1 ---> 15,15,15
color 2 ---> 0, 0, 0
color 3 ---> 6, 7, 9
- all arp stuff has been removed. (Everyone may make mistakes!)
- Nocare patch (of Fish 480) has been included as standard.
- Mouse accelerator has been included. The accelerator uses the
same acceleration as Dmouse.
- All diskdrive related DoIO functions are done using direct
rom code. This is done in a legal way and works for all
Kickstart (1.2,1.3 and 2.x). All DoIO related viri cannot
fool BigBrother anymore with a BootBlock emulation.
- The script and shell launching options can be turned off, so
that the Functionkeys can be used by other programs such as
WP. The mouse accelerator and the NoCare patch can be turned
off also.
- BigBrother has now a quit option. All resources are returned
accept for 200 bytes.
- BigBrother is now using Signals for faster response.
To do in the future
===================
I have several idea's for further expansion:
- ARexx port for controlling the options.
- An accept option which will accept the current status of BigBrother.
With such an option you can still use Blitzdisk.
- Checking more memory locations such as the Switch() function and
Interupt no.5. The Switch() function can be used by a virus and if
BigBrother has to work properly with Xoper (which uses the Switch())
the accept option must also be implemented.
- A screen blanker
If you any idea's, comments or suggestions please let me know:
