[comp.sys.atari.st] codekeys

I am interested in CODEKEYS, the macro generator from 
Codehead SOftware.  My question is this:

Condsidering that the macro
generator uses discrete timing, would the following be impossible:

Would the following macro work:

After SOFTLINK (partitioning software) boots from auto
folder, run a program in partition 1, boot partition 2,
run NEODESK and an autoboot FROM WITHIN neodesk, boot
partition 2, run another Neodesk and another autoboot
from within neodesk...?

Considering that the macero has to wait for the installation
of the partitions AND the loading of the programs before
going on the next partiton, i was wondering if the machine
would get bunged..

The reason this macro would be wonderful is that SOFTLINK
doesn't allow for preconfigured partitions at bootup...
that is, programs that will auto load in each partition
as they are installed... as a matter of fact, the 
partitions are never really booted until you manually
go and press SHIFT-#pad .. seems like this could be done
with CODEKEYS.  No?


If CODEKEYS can do the above, consider me a buyer today!

thanks

I do believe that macro can be done with CodeKeys..  as long as the computer 
does not physically reboot...

You can time or NOT time macros.. CodeKeys works very good.  If you time
it, you can simply let codekeys "watch" what you do, and it will later execute
the commands in exact order..  It will even wait 5 minutes if you wait 5 mins.
If you decide later you want the delay to be less, you can go in and edit it..

This is a very powerful program.. I have no complaints.

Yes, CodeKeys can record any event, as long as you have control over
the system.  That is, as long as you can load the .ACC or .PRG and access
it, you can use CodeKeys.

Needless to say games won't work with it..  the bootsector-initiated ones.


It is a VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY GOOD PROGRAMME and I have found it very
useful.
