Here's the first of my tweaked, hi-def videos from the October 17-18 Amiwest Show. It's "Paul Sadlik at the Amiwest Show 2015", and he's talking about easy, quick shortcuts when using Amiga OS 4.1 Final Edition. Go to

@RobertB

Thanks Robert, did you also shoot the Devcon sessions ?

No. Work prevented me from going to the programming seminar.

Thanks again Robert! If you didn't do these I'd really be out of the loop.

Interesting comments about porting to x86 and AROS at the end of the video.

the usual bashing from this individual, not backed by any facts. few hundred potential aros users would equal the os4 user base, who is registered to receive system updates and software.

What I thought was interesting, based on his comments, is that it seems extremely unlikely that there will ever be an x86_64 port of AmigaOS 4.x, and it's not entirely due to technical challenges.

MorphOS, or course, is a different story.

as long as one assumes, he is actually informed enough to make any statements, which given the the track of record and the current behaviour, doesnt seem to be the case.

@RobertB

Does anyone know where Paul Sadlik uploaded the script to set up the clock/time envvar?

No, but it's easy. create a script:

Lab loop
setenv time `date`
wait 1
skip loop back

run that from user-startup, use lformat with the date command to customize output, use 'help date' in a shell for info.

In workbench prefs add '%e time' or '%etime%' in dopus5 to add it to the titlebar.

@Severin

Well, putting it in user-startup kept the machine from booting to workbench, being that it was stuck in the loop. Is there a better place to run the script, or a better way of writing the script?

Thank you,

I said RUN the script not start the script...

For example:

Run <>nil: s:scripts/time-script

Oopsy! Silly me. Lapse of AmigaDOS memory.

Thank you for the help.

EDIT:
I just found the following on OS4depot.net. I'm not sure how I missed it.

Sets up time as envvar

No problems. I should have explained better but I was just of to bed...

You could also use:

lab loop
time >env:time
wait 1
skip loop back

but that's not the 'correct' way to set and envvar.

You could also easily create an arexx or python script instead of dos, but dos is the easiest.

eg.

/* arexx time to envvar */
address command
do while 1 > 0
 setenv 'time 'date()' 'time()
 wait '1'
end

#!C:Python
import os, time
While 1 > 0:
 os.system('Setenv time '+time.ctime())
 time.sleep(1)

Both untested btw.

Edit. found a better way, replaced time.asctime(time.localtime(time.time()))) with time.ctime()

Edit: If you want a more accurate clock use the python script and set time.sleep() to 0.2 for 5 times a second upsdates, 0.1 for ten times etc.

I will get around to watching all these vodeos from this year I promise! Watched some of Steven's video... very long.. I even heard him mention Jack. Which has prompted me to revisit the source code and bring a new round of updates.
