STDFILE is a module that can be linked with any Intuition based program
to provide a standard file requestor. Documentation is provided in the
source. It has the advantage over the usual requestors that it never hits
the disk unless it's absolutely necessary, and it's possible to get to any
file on any device using just the mouse. Strictly speaking, it's not a
requestor... thus it requires less set-up on *your* part. Does anyone know
why (other than efficiency, I guess) requestors don't normally get their
own window?
The module "PatMatch" is a fast pattern matching routine written
by Jeff Lydiatt of Richmond, British Columbia. He didn't provide a more
precise address than that, I'm sorry.
There are no copyright notices in his code, so I presume it's public
domain. Mine, of course, has the usual selfserving "freeware" notice.
If you want to deviate from the rather loose restrictions I impose,
please give me a call... I'm sure I can be talked out of them. If you
think my code is totally gross and you can do better, be my guest. I
do the same thing myself (frex, this code doesn't contain a single line
of code from anyone else's file requestors).
