Short: Automatically launch WHDLoad installs Author: mart@degeneration.co.uk (Martin Atkins) Uploader: mart degeneration co uk (Martin Atkins) Type: util/misc Version: 1.0 Architecture: m68k-amigaos This is a very thin wrapper around WHDLoad (which must also be installed) that searches in the current directory for a Workbench icon whose default tool is WHDLoad and then executes WHDLoad with that icon. The author uses this in a small FFS hard disk image designed to be used as boot media in an emulated DH0: in conjunction with a second disk image in DH1: that contains a single WHDLoad in its root directory. The boot disk contains WHDAutoload and WHDLoad in C:, kickstart images in DEVS:Kickstarts, and an S:startup-sequence like the following: cd DH1: WHDAutoload This is then just a convenience for launching WHDLoad installs easily in emulators and FPGA-based reproductions of Amiga hardware, without first booting into Workbench and launching manually from an icon. It expects to find WHDLoad in C: or in some other directory listed in the current command path. WHDAutoload is intended to work with the typical directory structure resulting from an WHDLoad install, which has in its root directory a Workbench icon whose default tool is WHDLoad and whose tooltypes include the local WHDLoad configuration to use. This avoids the need to include any additional files on a per-install basis, to allow constructing a generic boot disk that can (in theory, at least) boot into any WHDLoad install. Source code is included in case you want to tweak its behavior to suit other uses.
