Short: Speaks to you on BootUp! (Many Languages) Author: Gareth Murfin (gazy@globalnet.co.uk) Uploader: Gareth Murfin (gazy globalnet co uk) Type: util/boot Replaces: Amigreet.lha Architecture: m68k-amigaos AmiGreet v1.5 - By Gareth "Gaz" Murfin ----------------------------------------- Now with 2 different messages per hour and Polish, Dutch & German versions!! · Winner of 'Software of the month' from SOMC Software publishing dept (Aug 97) · Top Swedish Amiga Magazine 'Amiga·info' say "This program is meant to greet you on bootup, and thats exactly what it does!" 3 out of 5 Stars! (Aug 97) · AmiGreet was on AFCD21/23 and AmiNet CD21! Brief ----- AmiGreet greets you in the Amiga 'voice' each time you boot up. Its messages change according to the time of day and it now has 2 different random messages per hour! There are also Polish, German and Dutch versions included in this archive. Intro ----- This is a little program which I coded in Blitz, originally I wanted a small Arexx script which either said Good Morning, Good Afternoon, or Goodnight when I rebooted depending on what the time of day was. I tried even this simple task in Arexx but I found that Arexx didnt seem to handle it very well (it handled it but not like I wanted!). So I thought I would give it a go in Blitz. And here it is! It has some extra features because I tried to get the most out of using BlitzBasic, they are :- o Easy installation, Click the installer and its done! o Says a different message every hour of the day when you reboot o Uses Blitz Say and not Commodore, this SHOULD be more realistic :) o Can be ran simply by double clicking o Makes rebooting more interesting! o Proper Version String o Editable ToolTypes o Works on ALL versions of Workbench and Setpatch * o Works on ALL Amiga's * o No Special requirements * o Supports the $POO command! *³ * So long as the installer has been run. *³ Poo is a revolutionary new command like Version. Download it from AmiNet or the Alpha URL today! Check out the AmiGreet Guide in the ARC for more details... Foreigners! ----------- Hello there! Are you from a different country to England? If so I want you to help me write a version of AmiGreet for your country. Ive already had talks with a Swedish man who wants me to make a Swedish version and I want people from all over the world to contact me and discuss a version for their country. All you would have to do is supply me with 24 different messages in your native language, 1 for each hour of the day ;) and Ill do the rest. You will be fully creditted in the documents and a new version of AmiGreet will be released! Et Voila ;) In particular I want to do Swedish, German, French, Finnish and Dutch versions of AmiGreet because Ive met some nice people from these countries ;) A guide to making a foreign version of AmiGreet :- Creating Foreign AmiGreet's! ---------------------------- follow these simple rules :- 1. Change each of the statements below into your native language, they dont have to be an exact translation so long as you realise that 0 is midnight, 1 is 1am, 2 is 2am etc.... So make sure the words relate to the time. 2. DONT use Special characters (umlauts/accents etc..) because Blitz Basic cant handle them! 3. DONT use ? ! or . because they will distort the speech. Commas (,) are OK. 4. Type the speech how it SOUNDS not looks! To test how it sounds goto DOS and do this :- SAY PLEASE test all the speech you do because Im not foreign and I dont know how it should sound! ;-)). 5. Thanks alot for this I appreciate it. tell me your eMail & name and Ill put you in the AmiGreet credits which can be found in the Docs.
