Every fancied having a "different" Amiga EVERY time you booted up ?

Do you run a BBS? Would you like random log-on and log-off ANSI screens?
Would you like different UPD or IFX settings EVERY bootup?
Would you like different WorkBench Backdrop, Window and Picture on EVERY
bootup?
Would you like random worms samples?
Would you like random worms levels?

Any program that uses an external data file can be RASP'd (especially
nice wb commodity type programs)


R.A.S.P. "Random Amiga Settings Program" only requires three pieces of
information to work. These are;-

		Source Directory
		WildCards (MulTiSearCh) i.e. no need for *.* or #?
		Destination Directory and Filename

In the Source Directory, RASP can read upto 500 entries per "3 pieces of
information". Once run, RASP will plough through a text file (see  below)
actioning 3 pieces of information at once until the end of the text file
has been reached or an error occurred - in which case RASP will end and
control will return back to your Amiga. PLEASE NOTE: RASP is pretty much
crash proof. It won't crash because of your setup, if anything it will only
tell you what piece of information was processed last before the crash
thus helping you debug your config file.



THE Ultimate Random Amiga Settings Program.
             -      -     -        -
R.A.S.P.

What is it?

It is a CLI program that reads in three pieces of information at a time.
These are;-	(1)	Source Directory (must have / at end)
				
			(2)	Wildcards (use one space for ALL files or in-string
				search for wildcards i.e. IFF/SND or JPG will pick all
				IFF/SND or JPG files.)

			(3)	Destination Directory and Destination Filename
				i.e. Data:Pics/defaultWBbackground.Pic


	Holds upto 500 objects PER directory for randomisation !!!!!!
					UNLIMITED DIRECTORIES!!!!

INSTALLATION
------------

Chuck it somewhere in yer Startup-Sequence or User-Startup.

(I put it in after setpatch and before PICBOOT and IPREFS)

The only argument required is the script file location (file enclosed).


example on how to make a random WorkBench Backdrop script.
----------------------------------------------------------

Copy a picture and rename it to WBBACK.PIC and put it anywhere you want.

In WBPATTERN (prefs) choose the above picture.

Have a directory of pictures, datatypes only relevant if yer have 'em
so just put in pictures that yer datatypes support.

In the script file, the first three lines should be for the above;-

HD1:PICTURES/
IFF
HD0:THE_DIRECTORY_AND_NAME_OF_THE_WBBACK.PIC

Thats It! Simple. (To cover ALL wildcards, have a SPACE instead of the
wildcard-associated-letters, and you can repeat this as many times as you 
want! ALL random settings YEHAAA!

Version Modification History
----------------------------

There are now two versions available in this archive. One is the graphical
version with the progression bar, the other, a quiet non-graphical (slighly
faster too (coz of the non-graphical presence)).

Garpa_rnd		Graphical Version
Garpa_rnd2	Quiet Version

V1.23	-	Hard-Drive COPY routine re-wrote for approx 35% increase in
boot-up speed. Routine modifications has allowed a drop in nearly 10k of
program space, although the program still takes up as much memory (not much
anyways so doesn't really matter - bit of a perfectionist i think.... ;)

V1.24	-	"directory snooper" routine optmised. Used more machine-code
related instructions to speed up directory reading. Speed increase of about
200%. All I need now is an extremly FAST copy command....Any ideas? ;)

V1.25	-	Changed the randomise routine to repeat 3 times. Slight slow
			down. Changed some math instructions to pure-machine code which
			should not only absorb the 3-random-loop routine but generally
			give a boost (the progression bar was one change).
V1.26     -    Thanks to Tony McKimm, I found a MAJOR bug in the script loading
               routine which looked for a line feed and carriage return - 
               dummy! - the Amiga only uses a line feed. Duh. I really feel
               the fool. Anyways, RASP works.....at LAST! ENJOY! Oh - and
               the script file can be whatever you want. No-Limit, so you
               can have several script files, no just a boot up one!


This program should work on all WB2.0 and above Amiga's.
