run_sic  (c) 2007-2009  Lorence Lombardo


What the @#$% is run_sic ?

run_sic has nothing to do with the state of your health. :)

run_sic is a package which I put together primarily to view classic
animations on RTG only systems, with your directory utility.

Perhaps it might inspire someone to come up with an even better solution.

run_sic was developed on my Amithlon system & it is hoped that it will be
usefull to OS4 and MOS users too.


This has been tested with "UAE-827-AOS68k.lha" & "DiskMasterV37.lha" from
the aminet. 


Since I mostly use DiskMaster as my main directory utility, I will explain
for DiskMaster and DOPUS users will have to adapt some lines to that.

Setting up run_sic :-

1. Copy the run_sic directory to some where on your hard disk.


2. In line 3 of the file "run_sic" you need to change "cc:run_sic" to your
   personal "run_sic" path.


3. In line 5 the "0x50041100" is the ID for 800x600x16 screen mode.
   You need to change this to the ID for the 800x600x16 screen mode, for
   your particular system. "GetModeID.lha" on the aminet will help you to
   do this.


4. In line 30 you will need to adjust the UAE path and the "ROM 3.1" path.


5. From your "WorkBench 3.x" disk, copy only the "C" and "libs" directories
   to your "run_sic/SYS" directory. 


6. The following line allows me to view HAM 6 & 8 animations with the click
   of a button:-

   AddCmd HAManim, 42, 04, extern c:execute cc:run_sic/run_sic %s 1


7. The following line allows me to view CDXL animations with the click
   of a button:-

   AddCmd CDXLanim, 42, 04, extern c:execute cc:run_sic/run_sic %s 4


8. The following 2 lines allows me to view "moviesetter" animations, simply
   by a double click on the file:-

   AddAutoCmd xMovieSetter#?,extern c:execute cc:run_sic/run_sic %s 2
   AddAutoCmd xSceneEditor#?,extern c:execute cc:run_sic/run_sic %s 2


9. The following line allows me to run many ".ADF", ".ADZ" and ".DMS" disk
   images:-

   AddMenu Tools, UAE-disk, extern stack 40000 \SET UAESM 0x50041100:16 \run sys:emulators/uae/uae -O800:600:XYd -H2 -R1 -x -c4 -F4 -0%s -v4 -rDEVS:Kickstarts/KS3.1 -S2:s:8:22050:8192 -n3i -C3


10.The following line is intended for runing single file executables which
   dont have any dependencies on data files:-

   AddMenu Tools, UAE-run, extern run c:execute cc:run_sic/run_sic %s 3

   If there are some data file dependencies you can try to copy them to your
   "T:" assign before running the executable.

   The following line calls up the UAE GUI just in case you cant escape the
   single file executable or disk image:-

   AddMenu Tools, UAE-GUI, extern run rx sys:emulators/uae/UAEGUI.rexx
