AutoPubScreen v1.1 © 1993 SilverBox Development Group by Steve Lemieux
Function :
This program automatically opens windows on a public screen. All you have to
do is specify a public screen name in your program. If it is not found, the
screen will be automatically open. After that, this screen will be available
to other windows. When every window will be closed, the screen will be
automatically closed. The screen opened will clone the workbench.
You must have kickstart 2.0 to use this program.
Installation :
The easiest way to install this patch is to move its icon in the WBStartup
drawer.
From CLI add this line to your 'Startup-Sequence' right after the SetPatch
command :
run >nil: AutoPubScreen
Configuration :
From CLI : Q=QUIET/S,DEPTH/K/N,WIDTH/K/N,HEIGHT/K/N,DISPLAYID/K
From tooltypes : DEPTH
Quiet : No output will be sent to the screen. Except for error messages.
Depth : Force number of bitplanes for pubscreen.
Width : Force screen width
Height : Force screen height
DisplayId : Force a display ID
To remove :
If you execute AutoPubScreen from the workbench or WBStartup, you can remove it
with commodity exchange.
From CLI, you can remove it by using CTRL-C or you can use the 'Status'
command to obtain the process number and type :
break c
Even from the CLI, you can use the commodity exchange to remove AutoPubScreen.
