I haven't tried doing anything like that with any extensions.

I haven't used it for ages, but at a guess the 'nag screen' will likely be part of the Cold start "C_Lib -> L0" routine. A well placed jmp instruction should enable it to be skipped without causing the rest of it to fall over.
Which version of Powerbobs are you using? If I have it I can give it a try, but no promises...

Don't do anything just yet.  As I'd mentioned elsewhere, I got fed up with not being able to unleash the true power of Resource (its macros) due to all the good info being locked up in a user-unfriendly help system.  I'd databased the Resource help data a while back and done nothing with it.  So I did a quick and dirty Access report a couple of weeks ago so I could get a preview and read it at last!.  (I've attached a PDF of it for anyone interested - I'll be dragging a cross-referenced and much tidied up version out of the database when I get the time.)  Fantastic what Resource can really do.

So, I'm in the middle of writing the Resource macros to disassemble ANY AMOS library (both old and new versions).  As PowerBobs was topical, that's been the guinea pig for testing.  This is not just getting at the code - these macros add in the AMOS labels and equates to make reassembly for the AMOS Pro environment a piece of cake.  You get all the Rxxx library macros inserted with the original dc.w lines commented out;  plus all the +LEqu.s amos.library calls and the +Equ.s A5 offsets resolved to symbols.  I'd created (and posted here a long time ago) the Resource symbol libraries for AMOS Pro.  I've modified them a little since then so I'll have to get them together for release too - the macros rely heavily on them.

I always suspected Resource was more powerful that it looks.  The version I'm using is V6.06.  Does anyone know the legal position with a program like that?  I haven't seen that version around in 'the usual places'.  Mine came from an image of an Amiga HDD I came across a while back.  These macros will only work in V6.06.

The manual attached here was very much created just for me.  So there's no contents, index, etc.  The first few pages contain the 'general' topics, then it's sequenced in the same order as the menus followed by the order in which the pop-up button windows appear in V6.06.  I cut the built-in symbol libraries out as they blew the page count up to 636!  They'd perhaps be better published separately as a reference.  But all that will be after AMOS Pro V2.10...

To be honest iirc powerbobs is VERY bugged and using large screens like this is silly, just a increase on Y to about 700 would be good but not the end of the world.

Having said that its down to preference and I guess using a hudge screen could be cool less cpu intensive but memory hungry.

Ok, I'll hold off on it for now.

I started reading the PDF then noticed it was 93 pages long! I shall read it a few pages at a time, starting later in the week.

Wow!! 636 pages!
