A little program called Cancel! is just what you want. It presses
Cancel! on any requester that comes up. (For example: Insert disk in DFX:).
Cancel! without source code is also on the Software toolkit from
Commodore-Amiga. Cancel! with source code should be on a Fish disk.
You could easily modify Cancel! for Alerts. However, some crashes
will be too severe for any ram-loaded software solution. You could:
1> Create a hardware device that plugs into the mouse port that
continually presses the left button.
2> Create a watchdog timer. Unless your software triggers this
every N milliseconds, the system will be RESET.
For V1.4 Kickstart, "It's in there". A special plug in will disable
Alerts.
