StarInfo/Bloch/!AutoType/!Help
This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

File contents
AutoType v1.00
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(C) Matthew Bloch, April 1996
additions by Mike Williams
What this module does is to keep a check on your downloads folder, and
filetype anything which lands in it. If you are using Termite or any
other comms program which guesses at the filetype, it will override it.
The upshot of this is that you no longer need a filetype 'guessing'
program which you have to drop files into; once you've installed
Autotype in your boot sequence, it will be done automatically.
You can also ask AutoType to guess at a filetype by setting a file's
type to what it already is. Hmmm, clumsy English. Basically, if you've
got a 'Data' type file, go to File->Set Type->Data, and click on Data.
Hold down the button as you do this until you hear a beep.
To set the program up, alter the first line of the !Run file to point to
wherever your downloads folder is, and then copy the AutoType folder
into your boot sequence somewhere. If this is at all unclear, feel free
to ask questions!
Filetypes currently catered for are:
Archives: Spark
ArcFS
PKZip
LHA
Bitmap: JPEG
GIF (87/89)
TIFF
Windows BMP
* ColoRIX
* PBM+
* Unix RLE
Clear
Vector drawing: Draw
Artworks
Music: MIDI
Digital Symphony
Desktop Tracker
STModule
* STracker
Sound: WAV
Audioworks
DataVox
Film: MPEG
Replay
AVI
* FLI/FLC
This program is actually a development from another program I wrote
called TinyType, which did the same job, but was a desktop program. Mike
Williams kindly added a few more filetypes (marked with an asterisk) to
TinyType, which I have included in AutoType. I've included all the
obvious ones which you're likely to download; anything unknown is
filetyped as text so you can examine it yourself.
How it works - spods only section :-)
~~~~~~~~~~~~
The program is written in two parts; there is a module and a
BASIC program. The module does the job of watching the downloads folder
for new arrivals; any files which are closed inside the downloads folder
are noted. The top 1536 bytes are taken off and passed to the BASIC
program, which looks at the contents and filetypes the file
appropriately. I've included the source to the module so you can see
what it does, and it's a simple job to add more filetypes to TypeProg.
Beware; the programs work in strange ways. Remember that it will try to
set the type of *any* file closed in the downloads folder. Closing any
file will cause TypeProg to be run, but it shouldn't set the file's
type, unless it is Data or untyped. Because it uses Filer_Run, you may
get a surprise if you trigger TypeProg from outside the desktop...
currently it queues upto 26 files, so don't be surprised if your hard
drive goes haywire after you've done a lot of work outside the desktop.
Also, the use of Filer_Run means that if you are holding down shift when
it is run, you'll get the program listed :-) If this happens and your
program isn't typed properly, just type *RunTypeProg and it will work
properly, clearing any queue of files.
Any files in the queue which are deleted (Newsbase does this) are
cleared without being touched. TypeProg does its best not to generate
any errors.
