- This application was written over year prior to the recent announcment
- of RiscOS 3, I have delay release into the public domain of this utility for
- two reasons:
-
- 1. I was not sure of Acorn were ever actually going to get round to release
- this OS upgrade.
-
- 2. Officially the upgrade did not exist, not even in development, and
- consequently it would probably not be regarded at tasteful to release
- support utilities for a 'non-existant' OS.
-
- Anyway, as it is well known that a number of people have had access to some
- of the modules for as long as eighteen months, I have released a number of
- small ResourceFS resident application modules over the last year.
-
- Anyway down to business...
-
- MakeRFS is a utility to convert application into modules that link files
- into the ResourceFS, allowing them to be accessed from the Desktop Apps
- filer.
-
- On the versions of the apps filer and ResourceFS I have seen, applications
- are spread into two directories, an example of which is included in the form
- of a Hard reset utility.
-
- To use MakeRFS, run MakeRFS with parameters in the form
-
- MakeRFS <source directory> <object file> <module title> <version string>
-
- This will create the required module. All that is need is to load the module
- and it will link itself itself with the ResourceFS.
-
- P.S. I have not been advised of any changes in the operation of ResourceFS,
- so hopefull this utility should still work...
