Title: Birdie
Post by: swift240 on March 11, 2007, 05:13:22 PM
Hi all,
Been trying to get Birdie to run on my Amiga 1200 OS3.9 with both BB1 and BB2, but I cant seem to get any joy out of it.
Its something I am not doing but I dont know what.
I hav e put a copy of Birdie in the C: draw still cant get it running.
Has any one got any settings for me to go by please so I can get Birdie going?

TIA,

Mike.

IIRC it's something like "Run >NIL: C:Birdie activewindow.iff inactivewindow.iff". The syntax should be in the readme. What syntax are you using and what happens?

try BPrefs from Aminet. (its a GUI for Birdie)

Run it from WB and test the patterns you want (IIRC it have an option to stamp in a console the output)

Also make sure your Birdie line is in the correct place in the startup-sequence. Position relative to IPrefs is important.

You have 001.jpg and 002.jpg in your current directory?

Well, it's quite impossible for Birdie to guess where you keep your files.

You must specify full path to the file, say:
Code: [Select]
Run <>NIL: C:Birdie <>NIL: SYS:Birdie/001.jpg SYS:Birdie/002.jpg
