Zoom! is an Assembly-Code program that replaces PopCLI,
QuickMouse, and a screen-controling program all in 1.5K!
To run Zoom!, either use it's icon or use RUNBACK from the
CLI. It will not let itself be started more than once.
Features:
PopCLI: By pressing the Left-Amiga key and the ESC key at the
same time, it will do a NewCLI command. If you have
WShell from William Hawes, just Alias newcli to NewWSH.
Blank: Zoom! will blank the screen after 300 seconds. You can
change the blanking time by pressing Left-Amiga and
F1 for 3 seconds, F2 for 300 seconds, and F3 for 30000
seconds. It will restore the screen if any keyboard,
mouse, or other user I/O happens. The way Zoom! blanks
the screen is to open a 1-bit plane, low-res 100x16
screen that takes very little memory and even less
DMA time. Zoom! then turns display DMA off so that
your system can use this for hard-disk DMA, floppy
DMA, or just non-interferance with the CPU.
Point: Zoom! will blank the mouse pointer after 10 seconds of
no mouse movement. This gets the mouse pointer out of
the way. Any mouse movement will bring back the pointer.
Zoom: Zoom! will also make your mouse faster. If you move your
mouse faster than 3-ticks per I/O message, Zoom! will
accelerate it. Thus, you can have a fast mouse when you
needed and still have fine resolution without giving
up either.
Zoom! may also be terminated by pressing Left-Amiga, CTRL, and ESC
The next release of Zoom! will have command-line parameters that
will make it fully configurable and a new handler that will be
smaller. (I will try to get all of this in 1.5K again!) At that
time I may also be releasing the source for Zoom!
