- C-Show 1.2
- © 1989 by Ralph Ciper
- ---------------------
-
- C-Show displays an IFF picture and exits, leaving the picture displayed
- until C-Show runs again and replaces or removes it. It can be used at the
- beginning of the startup-sequence to display a picture while it is
- executing, then at the end remove the picture.
- Consider this utilitarian use: You've written a major program. Put the
- program and a fancy introductory screen on a boot disk. Display the art
- screen during the booting process, turn off the picture and start the
- program.
- You could also create an automated booting slide presentation complete
- with pauses, using the WAIT command of AmigaDOS.
- Here are the commands:
-
- C-Show ifffile.pic ; displays Iff picture file "ifffile.pic"
- ; and removes old C-Show picture (if any)
-
- C-Show ; removes C-Show Picture (if any)
-

- NOTES
- The front and back gadgets work but are invisible. They're in the upper
- right corner. They may be out of bounds for overscan pictures and some
- brushes. In these cases, use Left-Amiga N|M to move picture to back until
- needed.
- Pictures are displayed on a screen "C-Show 1.2, by Ralph Ciper\n" and
- this screen name should not be changed. If a picture is removed from display
- by a process other than C-Show, 32 bytes will be lost from the free memory
- pool until reboot.
- An earlier version guru'd on half-bright pictures. Thanks to Joel
- Salazar for that error report. It should show them correctly now.
- This was written in Lattice C 5.02. If you would like the source code
- to the program, send $5 for diskette and handling to Ralph Ciper, 14337
- Diplomat Dr., Tampa, FL 33613.
- If you have any comment on this program, or any other program I've
- written, I would like to hear from you.
