-
- reqtools.library is a standard Amiga shared, runtime library. The purpose
- of ReqTools is to make it a lot quicker and easier to build standard
- requesters into your programs. ReqTools is designed with Commodore's style
- guidelines in mind, all requesters have the look-and-feel of AmigaDOS
- Release 2.
-
- ReqTools features the following requesters: a query requester, a string
- requester, a number requester, a file requester, a font requester, a
- palette requester, a volume requester and a screenmode requester.
-
- Also included are RTPatch (1.3) and RexxReqTools (1.2e):
-
- RTPatch is a small program that will re-route functions from most popular
- requester libraries to ReqTools. Libraries currently supported are Arp,
- Req and Asl. RTPatch will also patch some functions in Intuition to give
- you improved system requesters.
-
- RexxReqTools gives ARexx users easy access to a large family of requesters.
- All requesters are easy to use; they require one or no arguments. But the
- requesters also have a lot of power through several optional arguments and
- through tagstrings. RexxReqTools itself doesn't implement any of these
- requesters, it is a link between ARexx and ReqTools.

- RELEASE 2.2c (Library version 38.390 [1.3] - 38.1266 [2.0])
-
- Since using VideoControl() to get the visible display clip only seems
- to work when the screen in question is the frontmost screen the
- rtGetVScreenSize() function now falls back to using QueryOverscan()
- for screens that are in the back (thanks to Dietmar Eilert for
- reporting this).
- Changed method of filtering DOS devices that are shown in the file and
- volume requesters again.
- Window size and gadget layout is now calculated in a sysihack compatible
- way.
- Bug fix: screenmode requester should no longer "lose" characters in the
- color slider values on Kickstarts below V40 (3.1).
- Bug fix: fixed enforcer hits that occured when the screenmode requester
- came up with an empty list (all modes filtered out e.g.).
- Minor bug fix: backfill pattern in EZRequesters now uses BACKGROUNDPEN
- instead of pen 0.
- Polish catalogs for library and preference editor included. Translated
- by Juan Carlos Marcin Orlowski.
