-
- How to install ADFBLITZER
-
- Just put the icon where you want on the hd and
- double-click on the icon.
-
- How to use it!
-
- When you start it you have three buttons to choose from:
-
- Write: Lets you write an adf-file from your harddisk to your
- diskdrive (DF0: to DF3:!)
-
- Read: Lets you create an adf-file from dfx: (DF0: to DF3:)
- to your Harddisk!
-
- Quit: HMMM!??!??!? Wonder what that could be?
-
- Have a look at the menu! You can see there the same "buttons".
- You can also use your keyboard to control the program. Just press
- Right-Amiga-W to write an ADF, Right-Amiga-R to read an ADF,
- Right-Amiga-? to show the About-Requester and Richt-Amiga-Q
- to quit the program.
-
- If you want to change the diskdrive which ADFBlitzer writes
- to and reads from you just have to select the proper Menu-Item
- in the "Drive"-Menu.
-
- ADFBlitzer has been coded by Magnus Lundin (elp@algonet.se) up
- to V1.2. As he didn't do a new version I asked him to give the
- source away. He sent it (based on V1.1) to me and gave me the
- permission to publish the new version.
-
- ADFBlitzer V2.0 and up are coded by Andreas Etzrodt, based on
- the code by Magnus Lundin.
-
- ADFBLITZER is provided "AS IS" without warranty
- of any kind, and the authoris not responsible for
- any damage this software may do.
-
- ADFBlitzer is Cardware. If you like it I request a picture
- postcard from your hometown! I really love getting postcards.
- So please be honest.
-
- The source code is released as Cardware, too! If you use parts
- of it you have to send a postcard to my address. Please don't
- spread altered versions of ADF-Blitzer without my permission.

-
- - now you can also use DF1-DF3!
-
- - removed a little bug (CPU-consumption)
-
-
- V2.00 (25-Sep-2000):
-
- - some code-optimizations (removed "Gotos",
- changed the code for the button-check,
- removed some unnecessary variables)
-

- Future
- ------
-
- Any suggestions?
-
- What I can't do at the moment: add support for non-disk-drives
- (RAD:, other "Harddrive-Floppy-Emulators"). And: add a progress
- indicator.
-
- At least the progress indicator is very important for me. So
- I will do my best to find a way to support it.
-
- If you know how to code in Blitz Basic: please help me!
- Look at the Source-code and tell me if it's possible to
- implement a progress indicator.
