AMOS Professional Misc Extension -------------------------------- This extension should originally be shareware, but now AMOS won't be updated and it's a bit old too. So this extension is now Public Domain and includes source code (written in DevPac assembler). You may expand this extension or copy some routines to the code of your extension, but please, enter my name in the manual, such like: "Greetings to Frank Otto" or "some routines from Misc Extension by Frank Otto". Thanks! Maybe you already noticed that this extension is very buggy. Some commands force AMOS to crash. Maybe I'll create a new version, but why don't you? Just debug this extension and send it to Aminet. Do what you want with it, it's Public Domain! OK, to install it to AMOS Pro, just copy the "AMOSPro_Misc.Lib" to your APSystem folder, load the Interpreter config and enter at number 23 "AMOSPro_Misc.Lib". Reboot AMOS Pro and...ready...! Now the new commands: Dled On Turns on drive led, don't ask me, where this is for, but maybe when the drive led doesn't stop reading, use the next command. Dled Off Turns off drive led. Display Off Turns display off. What you do, opening screens etc., you don't see anything. Display On Turns on display. Multi Off Turns off Multitasking and increases about 10 % speed. Multi On Turns Multitasking on. --WARNING-- you have to turn it on again before you go back to the editor or AMOS will crash. Mouse Off Hides mouse and sprite 0. Better than "hide" because the mouse is hidden forever, even in the editor. -->Suggestion: If you want to expand this extension, why not make a "Mouse On" command? Reset Resets your Amiga as if you press Ctrl+A+A and destroys all (?) viruses. Clear Ram Cleans up Memory by deleting all not-used fonts, libs, etc. Disk Wait Waits until you insert a new disk. Firewait Waits until pressing fire button. Nothing else than "While Fire(1)=0 : Wend" but more effective, cause it's in assembler. A great command for a pause function in a game. -->Suggestion: You can make more wait-commands that wait for left-mouse, right-,... Pal On Forces AMOS to display everything in PAL This command is not ready yet, it's very buggy and forces AMOS to crash, so be careful! -->Suggestion: debug this command and add "Pal Off" command that switches to Ntsc.
