- Short: MultiBlank is a modular screen blanker like GBlanker and BlitzBlank
- but (IMHO) better
-
- Req.: MultiBlank works on any Amiga with OS 2.04 or above
-
- MultiBlank is a modular screen blanker which uses OS 2.04 commodities
- functions to monitor user activity. It can be run from a CLI or Workbench
- and takes it settings from the command line or .info file respectively.
- The arguments/tooltypes are as follows:
-
- CX_POPUP - show user interface on startup. Default NO
-
- CX_POPKEY - specify hotkey using commodities conventions. Default "control
- alt b"
-
- CX_PRIORITY - commodities priority. Default 0
-
- SCREEN - Delay between last user activity and start of screen blanking.
- Default 8 mins.
-
- MOUSE - Delay between last user activity and mouse blanking. Default
- 3 min.
-
- PATH - Path to directory containing blanking modules. Default
- "Modules"
-
- MODULE - Name of startup module. Default "BlackOut"
- BlackOut is a built in module which does as little as possible
- to achieve a blank screen. This module is used as a backup if
- the requested one fails to blank.
-
- There is currently no facility to save the settings from the program, so
- you'll have to use a tooltypes editor like Workbench's Information prog.
-
- If you want to write a module for MBlank then go ahead. All I ask is that
- you take care to make it stable and that you send me a copy. If I like it,
- and you agree, I might include it in subsequent uploads. See documentation
- in "Developers" drawer for info.
-
- Any suggestions for improving this program are welcome (read wanted).
-
- I realise that this isn't a very in-depth doc but I hate writing them and
- this is a VERY simple program :-)
-
- One more thing...
