Getting Started With AREXX

[XDelusion]

Despite all my years using Amiga, I never took the time to understand AREXX.

How does one go about writing a script? Is it anything like writing BATCH files for DOS?

For example, I'd like to make a script to launch Giana's Return for MorphOS.

I'd like to start the game with -fs and -x2, but how would I write a script for this?
-----------------

Giana's Return Command line options:


-w : window mode (not fullscreen)

-fs : fullscreen (-x2 automatically added)

-x2 : zoom with no antialiasing-b16 : 16 bits video mode

-b24 : 24 bits video mode (maybe usefull if fade in/fade out looks crappy)

-aa : zoom with antialiasing

-noaa : no antialiasing



-a11 : audio playback at 11Khz

-a22 : audio playback at 22Khz

-a44 : audio playback at 44Khz

Then it sounds like I need a quick example for this in Amiga DOS then to get me started.

Thankx for the info.

The biggest problem with the audio filter on the Amiga is that it's a single frequency across all channels and set too low (IMO).

Imagine the fun if each of the 4 channels had it's own analogue LPF with digitally selectable cutoff frequency and resonance? That would have been so awesome; Protracker with resonant filters...

Anyhow, what were we talking about, again?

ARexx or summat?

This is a LATE response, but NO DOUBT!!! I'm with you there. I wonder if some sort of hardware hack could be done?
