WHAT'S NEW SINCE V1.0 ?

    Version 1.0 worked well with kickstart 1.2 and was usable with
  2.x, but it failed miserably when run under kickstart 1.3. The reason
  was that the program thought it was running under 2.x. This version
  works perfectly with any of these kickstart versions.

    This version adjusts its window to only show the drives that are
  physically present (1.0 showed '--' for those that wasn't).

    Version 2.0 is actually a few bytes smaller than 1.0 (no Reloc32
  information)



WHAT IS TD ?

    TD is a program that continuously displays current track for each
  connected floppy disk.

    This program is almost functionally equivalent to TrackDisplay by
  Olaf Barthel on Fish-disk 399 (Thanks for the idea Olaf). The main
  difference is the size and how it looks under kickstart 2.x (TD looks
  much better than TrackDisplay). Contrary to TrackDisplay and TD V1.0,
  this version of TD only shows the drives that are actually present. The
  original TrackDisplay was written in C and is 3640 bytes. TD is written
  in assembler and is only 1412 bytes (on disk).

NOTE: Unlike TrackDisplay, TD insists on using the Topaz-80 font.



HOW TO START TD

    From CLI      : Type 'TD' and press RETURN.
                    There is NO need to use RUN, RUNBACK, ARUN etc.
                    TD is auto-detaching when run from CLI (It will
                    not prevent you from closing the CLI-window).

    From Workbench: Double-click on the 'TD' icon.



COMPATABILITY !

    TD has been tested under kickstart 1.2, 1.3 and 2.x on a
  2.5 MB 68000 based Amiga 1000 (0.5 MB chip-ram). If any problems
  is encountered with other configurations then let me know.
