-
- DInform is a small utility that can inform you about things that happened
- in your system (mail that arrives, users who log in etc.). I wrote it
- because I didn't like the inform utility that came with the UUCP software I
- am using.
-
- Inform uses a listview gadget to display all things you have to be informed
- about. By clicking on a line in the listview you can activate an AmigaDOS
- command that correspondends with the line (like starting a mailreader or a
- local login into your BBS).
-
- Notifications can be counted (number visible in the listview) and powerled
- or screen can flash to draw attention (all optional).
-
-
- Usage :
-
- DInform -[options] <id> <clickcmd> <text>
-
- Options: f - enable powerled flash (powerled flashes every 5 seconds)
- b - enable screen flash/beep (screen flashes/beeps every 5 seconds)
-
- (options are optional)
-
- <id> Indentifies a line (to prevent double notifications). If you
- specificly want double lines use 'noid' as the id keyword. Placing
- a # before the id enables the count function (nr of notifications
- will be displayed)
- <clickcmd> AmigaDOS command that will be executed when you click on a line
- <text> Line of text that will be displayed in the listview
-
- When DInform is invoked with the same parameters twice (or more) and a
- keyword other than 'noid' is used, no new entry in the Listview will be
- made. The Text and Clickcmd will be updated though.
-
- You can quit DInform by either clicking the close gadget or sending a
- ctrl+c (no commands will be executed). If you send a ctrl+f the DInform
- window will go to the front.
-
- When the DInform window is open you can change the preferences by choosing
- the Preferences menu.
-
- Activate window - Make DInform window active when it's opened
- Backdrop window - Open DInform window in background (not really a backdrop
- window !)
- Display beep - Display a beep every time a new message arrives
-
- When you select 'Save' in the preferences window the settings will be saved
- (ENVARC:DInform.prefs). The current position of the output window of
- DInform will be saved too.
-
- If you have Matthew Dillon's UUCP software and you want to use DInform,
- change MailReadyCmd and NewsReadyCmd in UULIB:Config.
