[1mWHAT'S NEW SINCE V1.0 ?[0m
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)
[1mWHAT IS TD ?[0m
TD is a program that continuously displays current track for each
connected floppy disk.
This program is almost functionally equivalent to [1mTrackDisplay[0m 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 ([1mTD[0m looks
much better than [1mTrackDisplay[0m). Contrary to [1mTrackDisplay[0m and [1mTD V1.0[0m,
this version of TD only shows the drives that are actually present. The
original [1mTrackDisplay[0m was written in C and is 3640 bytes. [1mTD[0m is written
in assembler and is only 1412 bytes (on disk).
NOTE: Unlike [1mTrackDisplay[0m, [1mTD[0m insists on using the [1mTopaz-80[0m font.
[1mHOW TO START TD[0m
From CLI : Type '[1mTD[0m' and press RETURN.
There is [1mNO[0m need to use [1mRUN[0m, [1mRUNBACK[0m, [1mARUN[0m 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 '[1mTD[0m' icon.
[1mCOMPATABILITY ![0m
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.
[1mCOPYRIGHT NOTICE !![0m
