NAME NAME ALoad - show the loadfactor of your machine VERSION = 1.1c DESCRIPTION DESCRIPTION This little tool will show the loadfactor on your machine. I have wrote the program using some functions in the new KICKSTART 2.0, so it will only run on a machine with KICK- START 2.0 (sorry). USE: ALoad in your startup-sequence or better put it in the SYS:WBStartup drawer, and it will be started as soon as the workbench is started. NOTE: The INFO-FILE must be in the same directory as ALoad !!!! You can add following description to your INFO-FILE : WINDOW=x_pos/y_pos/width/height TIME=time_cnt FACTOR=value x_pos,y_pos .... This is the position of the upper left edge. width,height .... This is the size of the window. Because of the windowborder the real displaysize will be smaller. time_cnt .... This is the number of vertical blanking after ALoad will update it's display. value .... This a integer between 1 and 31. It controls the speed the peak accelerated. 1 means very fast. 31 means very slow the best value i found is 28 (26 is default) Now you can modify the position and size and time and factor buy simply closing the Window. (than you get the preference window) If the window don't fit in the WBScreen, so the new functions I used will correct it automaticly. ALoad will close it's window if someone wants to close the Workbench with the -Function from Intuition. It will reopen it if the -Function failed or if someone calls the -Function. ALoad will monitor the loadfactor of your machine even - window is closed (that means the workbench is closed) - the blitter is owned by someone - the workbench-screen is locked via LockLayerInfo - Forbid() was called but it will not update its display ,unless the system returns to normal !
