MultiPro. An Amos programers Life-Line. (C) Anthony Brice 1994-1995
MultiPro was written over a couple of days as a simple procedure to enable
me to get data for a program I am writing. It has the facility to show the
mouse cordinates, check Joystick functions in both ports, dump and IFF screen
to disk (either packed or standard Dpaint style) and will also give you a
run down on the state of any keys on the keyboard. Prior to writing MultiPro
I was restricted to writing little test bits of code all over the place so
that I could see the correct mouse cordinates over the screen (Handy when you
are trying to work out Zone commands for programing icons or buttons) and key
check routines when I wanted to check for a certain combination and could not
be bothered to wade through the manual. A joystick checker is always handy
and isn't it more convenient to be able to dump a screen from another Amos
program at the press of a key rather than all that fiddling with filenames
(MultiPro uses the AmosPro file requestor so you can make sure you are
putting the screen in the right place), save Iff, Pack screen number etc.
