- File Box
- ©1993,1996,1997 Kasoft Software
- By Kade Hansson
-
- Version 0.60 (Sep 1997)
- For RISC OS 3.10 (and beyond) only
-
- -
-
- This product contains the FileBox module, which is copyright Kasoft Software.
-
- The FileBox software is Shareware, which means that if you plan to continue
- using it, you need to register it by sending the registration fee of ten (10)
- Australian dollars to the address given below. Cash, international or
- Australian Money Orders, or cheques payable to an Australian bank may be
- used.
-
- The FileBox module, when packaged with Freeware software, can be
- distributed free of charge, provided the author of that software is a
- registered user of FileBox. Draw your users attention to the fact that the
- module is part of a fully-documented Shareware release, which can be obtained
- and registered separately. The release must at least include the text:
-
- "This product contains the FileBox module, which is copyright Kasoft
- Software. Kasoft is a trademark of Kasoft Software, and owned by Kade
- Hansson."
-
- To include the FileBox module with Shareware software, you must first obtain
- a special "Shareware Author's Registration", which costs fifty (50)
- Australian dollars. This rate is flat, and covers an unlimited number of
- Shareware titles.
-
- A special licence must be negotiated before the FileBox module can be
- incorporated in any commercial software. Please contact Kasoft Software at
- the address given below.
-
- A copy of the licence conditions for unregistered users of FileBox is
- given at the foot of this document. If you do not plan to register FileBox,
- then delete this software and all other whole or partial copies you have.
-
- -
-
- To initialize all File Box facilities, double-click on the !FileBox
- application. The !FileBox application provides (in combination with the
- FileBox module):
-
- • A system variable <I> which can be used in Desktop *-commands or task
- window programs wherever a file name would normally need to be laboriously
- typed out. Instead, variable <I> gets a filename by prompting the user to
- drag the file into a special loading window, using the RISC OS file
- dragging conventions.
-
- • A system variable <O> which can be used in Desktop *-commands or task
- window programs wherever a file name would normally need to be laboriously
- typed out. Instead, variable <O> gets a filename by prompting the user to
- drag a file icon a special saving window into a directory viewer, again
- using the RISC OS file dragging conventions. DragASprite is supported.
-
- • Fully documented SWIs and *-commands which allow great control over
- loading and saving from programs running in task windows and any other
- Desktop tasks.
-
- Full documentation can be found in the Docs directory. FileBox supports both
- interactive help (!Help, !Spy etc.) and command help (*Help).
-
- -
-
- Bug Alert!
-
- Because of an unknown bug, it is recommended that the use of the system
- variables documented above be discontinued for the time being. If they seem
- to work OK on your machine, then by all means use them, but I may remove
- support in future versions. See the release notes for my thoughts.
