CDTV Developer Tools Vol. II Rev. 3 3 march 1992
This disk contains a set of tools useful for CDTV development. It is
complimentary to the CDTV Tools Vol. I disk.
Some of the directories (and their contents) on this disk
have been compressed into single files using the freely
redistributable program "LHArc". To "reconstitute" a
particular directory, simply format a floppy or make a
partition on your hard drive and copy the corresponding
".LZH" file to it. Also copy the program "LHArc".
Change into this directory and issue the command:
LHArc -m x clips.LZH
(if you want to extract the clip art, that it.)
Once LHArc has completed extracting the directory and the
files in it, you may delete both the ".LZH" file and the
program "LHArc".
Note that some of the contents of this disk are copyrighted.
-----------------
Here is a brief summary of what you will find on the disk, and
modifications from the Tools disk volume II.
Directory Contents/modifications
--------- ----------------------------------------
CDSetMap The CDSetMap utility, intended for use in your startup-
sequence, is used to set the global default keymap for
your CDTV system, according to the language selected in
Preferences. If the user has a keyboard attached to the
CDTV player, the appropriate country keymap will be used.
CDTV_Clips This directory contains Professional Draw, vector-based
clipart of the CDTV logo, and symbols for the various
categories of products (Education, Arts and Leisure, Music,
etc.) This clipart can be read into any Amiga Desktop
Publishing program that supports the Professional Draw clip
format (Professional Page, Pagestream, etc.)
cdtv_device This directory contains the autodocs for the cdtv.device.
These documents describe in detail all the routines in the
cdtv.device, their parameters, results, functions, and bugs.
The cdtv.device.examples contains 'C' source code examples
of how to call each routine.
Debugtools The most recent versions of many important debugging tools
for the Amiga. These include enforcer and mungwall, as well
as report, the tool to generate bug reports. Many more
debugging tools are included on the Software Toolkit II
disk, part of the 2.0 Native Developer Update. Ask your
local support manager (or CATS, for US developers) how to
order a copy of the Update.
Endrun This command, intended for startup-sequences, lets you
execute a command after closing the Workbench screen,
thereby saving a significant amount of memory.
Includes Playerprefs.fd and Playerprefs_pragmas.h are essential to
use the playerprefs.library, in the ROM of the CDTV. See
the playerprefs autodocs on the CDTV Tools Vol. I disk.
IsoVal Allan Purtle from Canadian Prototype Replicas is the author
of this utility, which checks the structure of your
AmigaDOS hard disk to determine if it is compliant with
the rules for ISO 9660 volumes. Thanks, Allan!
Quickstart This directory contains Quickstart and Makequick. These
utilities let you load a set of files into a RAM disk,
using the Burst mode of the CD.
SetCDFS The SetCDFS utility lets you change certain parameters of
an ISO 9660 image, such as size of directory cache, size of
the read-ahead cache, etc. You can reduce the size of the
directory cache from its default of 16K to gain memory for
your application, at the risk of requiring an extra seek to
find a file not in the cache. This utility can only be used
after you have built your ISO image, using the ISO DevPak
diskette or ISO-CD. Use with caution -- for experienced
programmers only!
Videodisc A set of tools to control videodisc players for digitizing
images. Videodisc is a program allowing control of
video devices via AREXX. The devs directory contains
the videodisc and videotape drivers from AmigaVision.
Grabb.rexx is a sample AREXX script to automate the
digitizing process.
