Hide is a small utility allowing you to run old or ill-written applications
on an Amiga with more than 512Kb memory.
When Hide is running, all memory allocations will take place in Chip memory.
You are supposed to run hide in a CLI window, that is:
Newcli
Hide
(get back to Initial CLI)
(run application)
(when application is loaded and running type q <return> in Hide window)
Hide is working on 1.2 systems (perhaps even on 1.1).
Tested with: robo-city (have you ever tried with 2M memory ??)
Boing! (mouse sprite invisible with 2M memory)
DPaint (palette gadgets invisible)
ChessMaster 2000 (Board Menu invisible at the beginning)
PopCli (compiled under Lattice 3.03, linked with Alink)
DPSlide
and so on...
Notes: do NOT run Hide with : run Hide
- you will have to re-boot the Amiga to get FAST memory back.
Hide may not work in conjunction with Snoop since Hide uses the same
modification of libraries
running two differents Hide does not make much sens
if the application allocates memory after initialization, you may
have to keep Hide running all the time if memory allocation
is not properly done
Hide is public domain. You may distribute it as long as the Copyright
remains visible. You may NOT sell it.
