- BarTek ScreenCommander V1.0 (Jan 93)
-
- © Copyright J.O.Barstad & BarTek Software 1993
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- BarTek ScreenCommander (SC) can be freely distributed
-
- Bartek ScreenCommander is a commodity type utility for use under WB2.04
- or higher. It was primary intended as a popup screenkiller, but has
- also incorporated a IFF filesave and a centerscreen function. Another
- usage when you have many open screens, is to use SC to quickly find
- the screen you want and move it to the front.
- The programming was done using HighSpeed Pascal V1.10, a very good
- package in my opinion. The program also uses reqtools.library written
- by Nico François and iff.library written by Christian A. Weber.
-
- SC can be put in your WBStartup drawer to automatically be started when
- you boot your system. Use the icon to define if the program should pop up
- it's screen when started, and to define the popkey you want to activate it
- (You can also use the Exchange program to activate it. Even if this is not
- a very effective method, it is nice to have if you have forgotten the popup
- key).

-

-
- This setup is done use standard commodities deines in the icon's

-
- The codes that SC will recognise:

-
- Keyboard codes can be such as:
