DESCRIPTION:
This utility opens Windows like screen during boot and shows some
information about your machine: CPU, FPU, GFX Chips, Kickstart,
memory, current time and date. You can change palette from 7 presets,
monitor/screen mode and select hour system if you want.
SYNTAX:
OpenAWS [-options]
-a : alternative font
better for interlace if you haven't ficker fixer
-h<12|24> : selects 12 or 24 hour system, default: 24
-m<ModeID>: monitor/screen mode ID, default: $8004
type -ma9004 (or -m$a9004 or -m0xa9004) for DblPAL
-p<0-7> : selects 7 palette presets (0-random), default: 1
-? : help
HOW TO USE:
To activate AWS add 2 lines in your startup-sequence:
OpenAWS -p2 -a (after SetPatch)
CloseAWS (between LoadWB and EndCLI)
AWS works only under OS2.x and 3.x+, doesn't require any library but
may crash if you put OpenAWS before SetPatch.
AWS now can use all monitor modes but proper monitor driver must be
started before OpenAWS.
For example for DblPAL mode put following lines after SetPatch:
Assign >NIL: ENV: RAM: ;must be because DblPAL monitor searches
;something in ENV:
SYS:Devs/DblPAL ;starting monitor driver
OpenAWS -m$A9004 ;DblPAL+HIRES+LACE mode ID
Now OpenAWS is crunched by Imploder 4.0. Before that I used
Crunchmania 1.9t. This packer has fastest depacker on my Amiga 4030,
but on some A1200s hangs up. I you want better pack ratio and depack
speed unpack OpenAWS and recrunch it, but i don't warrant it'll work.
