Brief
-----
AmiGreet greets you in the Amiga 'voice' each time you boot up. Its messages
change according to the time of day and it now has 2 different random messages
per hour! There are also Polish, German and Dutch versions included in this
archive.
Intro
-----
This is a little program which I coded in Blitz, originally I wanted
a small Arexx script which either said Good Morning, Good Afternoon,
or Goodnight when I rebooted depending on what the time of day was.
I tried even this simple task in Arexx but I found that Arexx didnt
seem to handle it very well (it handled it but not like I wanted!).
So I thought I would give it a go in Blitz. And here it is! It has
some extra features because I tried to get the most out of using
BlitzBasic, they are :-
o Easy installation, Click the installer and its done!
o Says a different message every hour of the day when you reboot
o Uses Blitz Say and not Commodore, this SHOULD be more realistic :)
o Can be ran simply by double clicking
o Makes rebooting more interesting!
o Proper Version String
o Editable ToolTypes
o Works on ALL versions of Workbench and Setpatch *
o Works on ALL Amiga's *
o No Special requirements *
o Supports the $POO command! *³
* So long as the installer has been run.
*³ Poo is a revolutionary new command like Version. Download it from AmiNet
or the Alpha URL today!

Foreigners!
-----------
Hello there! Are you from a different country to England? If so I want you
to help me write a version of AmiGreet for your country. Ive already had
talks with a Swedish man who wants me to make a Swedish version and I want
people from all over the world to contact me and discuss a version for their
country. All you would have to do is supply me with 24 different messages
in your native language, 1 for each hour of the day ;) and Ill do the rest.
You will be fully creditted in the documents and a new version of AmiGreet
will be released! Et Voila ;) In particular I want to do Swedish, German,
French, Finnish and Dutch versions of AmiGreet because Ive met some nice
people from these countries ;)
A guide to making a foreign version of AmiGreet :-
Creating Foreign AmiGreet's!
----------------------------
follow these simple rules :-
1. Change each of the statements below into your native language, they dont
have to be an exact translation so long as you realise that 0 is midnight,
1 is 1am, 2 is 2am etc.... So make sure the words relate to the time.
2. DONT use Special characters (umlauts/accents etc..) because Blitz Basic
cant handle them!
3. DONT use ? ! or . because they will distort the speech. Commas (,) are OK.
4. Type the speech how it SOUNDS not looks! To test how it sounds goto DOS
and do this :- SAY <text>
PLEASE test all the speech you do because Im not foreign and I dont know
how it should sound! ;-)).
5. Thanks alot for this I appreciate it. tell me your eMail & name and Ill
put you in the AmiGreet credits which can be found in the Docs.
Please post this form back to gazy@globalnet.co.uk once you have finished
editting it.
