===================== Updates & new program revision ======================
===========================================================================
Whenever a new release of `GizmoConf' becomes available I will upload it
to MicroAmiga BBS (2:231/126@fidonet). New versions will be announced in
some of the StarNet-sysop conferences.
============================ Using `GizmoConf' ============================
===========================================================================
Using this program should not be that difficult. If you need any docs on
how to configure StarNet, look in your StarNet-manual.
NB: This program requires ReqTools.library by Nico François. Be sure, that
it is located in your LIBS:-dir
There's a few more options in GizmoConf than in the supplied config-program
for StarNet.
These are:
Print configuration: Can make a text-dump of your configuration to a text-
file, or to your printer. To get the output on the
printer, simply enter 'PRT:' in the filename-field
in the file-requester.
File libraies:
Delete Area: Deletes the current area from config.
Copy Area: Copies the area to another.
Move Area: Moves the current area to another. (First a copy, then
a delete is done).
Search: Puts up a window with a list of all your areas. Click
on the areaname you want to examine, and GizmoConf will
change area.
Message areas:
Same changes as for file libraries.
While editing File/Message-areas and access-levels it is possible to
adjust the current position (Areanumber/level) by using the cursor-keys.
To move one step forwards/backwards, use arrow right/left. If you want to
move 10 steps, do as above and press SHIFT down while pressing the
cursor-keys.

Thank-you's:
The first one goes to Tom Sandfeld, the patient Sysop at 2:231/126, an
official StarNet support BBS in Denmark! He lets me test all my wonderfull
StarNet-utils on his BBS (I have still not found out why he has the guts
to do it ;-)).
And then a thank-you to Jesper Kehlet for helping me out telling me
how to use/program the 2.0-look via gadtools.library and helping debugging
this program. He also helped beta-testing the program.. It may not be 100%
bug-free yet, but I'll still be working on it.
And thanks to Jan van den Baard for making GadToolsBox. I saved a lot of
time, because I used the program for creatring most of the layout.
The last (but perhaps most important) thank-you goes to Commodore-Amiga,
for the Amiga. How else could I possibly edit source, while compiling,
and doing other stuff? Single-tasking, just say NO!
=========================== Future revisions ==============================
===========================================================================
Advanced AREXX-support.
Speed 'Print config' up.... It is too slow right now!
================================ History ==================================
===========================================================================
v1.26: - Few bug-fixes in 'Edit message area' part.
This version is the first public released version.
v1.25: - Had forgotten Fido-address in mailareas. Added now.
V1.21: - Few bug-fixes.
V1.03: - Added Front-End mailer support.
V1.02: - GizmoConf is now aware of the height of the title-bar (depending
on the size of your font). This program was created while using
a standard size 8 font. If GizmoConf won't open any windows on a
NTSC-screen, try to reduce your font-sizes to 8.
V1.00: - First version.
