------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- 4) USING THE PROGRAM ----------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Using this program is extremely easy.
By selecting the library you wish to consult, you will be presented with a
list of its functions. Just clic on the one you're interested in, and a
requester containing the following information will appear:
- the function's name
- a short summary of what it does
- its offset
- the structures and registers it uses
Naturally enough, the information provided is not comprehensive; OFL is no
replacement to the autodocs. Its main aim is to provide you with the
minimum information needed and spare you hours of tedious research through
tons of documentation. For more details, you will have to go through the
autodocs and/or the 'Rom Kernal Reference Manuals'.
You may iconify and quit the program using the menu or the keyboard
short-cuts.
