Short: Shows a gauge bar while booting, BETA !!! Author: Tcn@lbcmbx.in-berlin.de (Timo C. Nentwig) Uploader: Tcn@lbcmbx.in-berlin.de (Timo C. Nentwig) Type: util/boot NAME BootGauge 0.3 Copyright © 1995 by Timo C. Nentwig PURPOSE My A4k30 needs about 1min to boot. It was boring to wait all the time and just seeing a black screen. I tried a boot picture but I wasn't much more fun. I had long time dreamed to have such tool but when I saw that the MAC (Sys7.5.1+) had a boot gauge bar I began to develop an equal program. BootGauge opens its own window on its own screen and executes an alternative startup-sequence. So it displays a gauge bar while booting. ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 1238 596 51.8% 02-Nov-95 14:01:50 BG.info 25872 14664 43.3% 02-Nov-95 14:00:00 +BootGauge 8242 3176 61.4% 02-Nov-95 14:01:32 +BootGauge.doc 1382 494 64.2% 02-Nov-95 14:01:06 +BootGauge.doc.info 1658 871 47.4% 02-Nov-95 14:01:06 +BootGauge.info -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 38392 19801 48.4% 05-Nov-95 12:49:56 5 files
