Where to find Birdie?

[Karlos]

Oh I know about those. The guy that started shapeshifter eventually went all out and rewrote it into basilisk II for pc, then sheepshaver which is pretty much the same thing but does PPC. And I don't think I'll be "reliving the good old days" when I can just turn on my other computer.:roflmao:

Suit yourself

THat's not what troll means.
 
Aeroman: I think windows has been doing that for years, I think it's called shared desktop. Though VNC could be used the same way?

Mmm... yeah, that is a good example. Wouldn´t be nice to have support that way?

[AeroMan]

Man, this thread grows fast...
So, I will answer the main question:

If you want to find Birdie, look for a nest in the trees next to you
(Ok... too silly)

I might have a play around with them later, would be cool to see how well it works inside winuae.

If I can get birdie running first :hammer: AFA_OS makes it look a wee bit too modern, I still want it to look like th'old 68k.

Okay, I fond the birdie...

Now, how to I get it to wake up when the amiga does and make it look pretty? I heard birdies are good at window decorating.

For the love of god, offer no further assistance to this guy.
Do you REALLY want him to resolve his Amiga issues and hang around here?

You know, this guy's issues aside, one thing that we could write. An Automator (Mac App) like application that can be run with little or no requirements (i.e. boot with not startup) that parses CLI scripts and arranges them within action groups. Again see Automator for examples. But it could be a nice GUI driven script editor.

Things like Add Assign adds a box which lets you enter a name and select a drive using an asl like requestor. Or Execute command which lets you choose where then another drop down shows you all the commands in that directory and allows you to adjust things like stack or env prefs. This would insert all the necessary commands to ensure this environment.

Or how many times have you wanted to assign your system to a sub folder and got tire d of typing things like

assign sys:
assign l: sys:l
assign c: sys:c
assign devs: sys:devs
assign fonts: sys:fonts
....

When we could select a Assign System action and simply enter folder name. The tool would then insert the necessary lines into the script (S:User-Startup or S:Startup-Sequence) as needed.

The actions could be conditional. A lot of potential. I've never had problems with modifying startup scripts but this would still be convenient. Just a thought.

Never. :hammer:

Why would it matter to you? your post count since you've joined should be enough to classify you as legally dead.

I know when to keep my mouth shut...
Besides, I didn't need help installing Birdie, or doing other elementary tasks like editing text files....

[PPC]

Following example is a correct birdie startup sequence entry:

Run >Nil: C:Birdie PubScreens precision=6 ActivePattern "workbench: prefs/patterns/birdie/WTA.iff" "workbench: prefs/patterns/birdie/WTI.iff"

Place the entry allmost at the bottom of the startup-sequence, and ofcourse change the path's from the example.

(edit:had to put a space between workbench and prefs or else you get )

"Hell Labs" is just another faceless troll, getting off while hiding behind his keyboard:

You know I've already explained the differences between me and an internet troll, please stop misusing the word. If you'd like another example of a difference, consider this: a troll would not spend three and a half months posting after a year or so of lurking, then decide to troll. Usually they do it as soon as they find a message board. Also, a.org isn't really a prime trolling target, usually it's either websites focusing on despicable subjects (pro neo-nazi forums and the like), stupid people, the mentally disabled ( I really don't condone picking on those people but it still happens.), and combinations of them all. Although thinking about it, if you still need help with the concept now you'll probably never get it.

Unless you mean the mythical creature, in which case you need stronger medication.

Thanks to PPC for the example.
