Short: Mathtrans.library speedup patch 1.1b Author: Jess Sosnoski (at the below address!!!) Uploader: starblaz ptdprolog net Type: util/boot Version: 1.1beta Requires: mathtrans.library Architecture: m68k-amigaos Long: MTpatch 1.1beta © 1997-1998 Jess Sosnoski DESCRIPTION: ----------- This patches the mathtrans library's SPFieee and SPTieee functions to slightly faster ones. NOTE: ----- THIS PROGRAM WILL NOT PATCH V43 MATHTRANS.LIBRARY If you have tmathtrans.lha from aminet that I wrote (it's V43.x), you won't need this, because that version of mathtrans.library already has this code in it. DISCLAIMER: ---------- Use this program at your own risk! I assume no responsibility or liability for problem(s) and/or damage(s) that occur by the use, modification, and/or existence of this product, and/or its parts in any form. But if it don't work right, or slows things down, don't be afraid to send me email...or even send some email if it makes your system outprocess a cray (yeah, right) INSTALLATION: ------------ Copy it to your c: directory or wherever you like. You can add the line run <>NIL: msbpatch to your startup-sequence, or user-startup. You can give it an icon and put it in WBstartup. You can basically put it anywhere :) (I have mine a little after setpatch in my startup-sequence) USAGE: ----- run <>NIL: mtpatch OUTPUT: ------ None...I'm not bothering putting that kind of work into this. Although, if you don't have the right versions of the required libraries, it will exit with a returncode of 20. REMOVAL: ------- sorry....once it's in...it stays in! (didn't I hear Al Bundy say that to Peg once...hmmm....) CAVEATS: ------- Don't expect any miracles. Opens mathtrans.library, and never closes it. HISTORY: ------- 1.0 First Release 1.1 Now checks for my v43 mathtrans.library, and doesn't patch it if it's installed. Although, it WILL patch the v100 quicktrans mathtrans.libraries, as well as the FMath406 mathtrans.library. FUTURE: ------ Make this doc file a bit more presentable, and maybe leave it as plain text without Amigaguide OR HTML just for kicks. Write a more accurate test program, and maybe include it in the archive. Make the patch exit, instead of hanging around. One word: NitrOS THANKS TO: --------- Adam "DC1" Polkosnik for ideas, help with sourcecode, and APATCH! Dave "Barc0de" Jones, for help, ideas and StreamLineOS 2! Iain "ook" Barclay, for optimizations, bugfixes, and opatch! Everyone who sent me emails, praise, and complaints....your input was greatly appreciated!!!! BUGS: ---- Hmmm...what would Tom say, ohyeah, um....possibly. But, I personally didn't find any...but if you do....email me :) AUTHOR: ------ Jess Sosnoski 651 Hillside Drive Mount Carmel, PA 17851-2463 USA Updates will appear on my webpage before they appear in Aminet's RECENT file. starblaz@ptdprolog.net http://home.ptd.net/~starblaz IRC nick: starblazr On: galaxynet (any amiga channel), dalnet (#nin ,any amiga channel) pulsarnet (#elitecafe).
