WinSize by Staffan Palmroos 1994
--------------------------------
Why?
One day, when customizing my workbench, I found myself wanting to
know how big a CLI-Window was, so that I could make it open with that
size every time. But I didn't know how to get that information so i
wrote this little utility.
How?
Using it is simple. Type 'WinSize' in a CLI window, and it will
tell you how large it is. There is no icon supplied because it is
meaningless to run it from WorkBench. It has even one option: -c. If
you specify this option WinSize will give you a string suitable for
backquoting, for example:
echo NewCli CON:`WinSize -c`AmigaDOS >>s:user-startup
This line will add a line in your user-startup that looks like
NewCli CON:L/T/W/H/AmigaDOS
Where L T W H is the size and position of the window. This line
will open a CLI window with the same size as the window you typed the
line in.
Size?
The program is 5080 (according to LIST) bytes. If your version is
larger, it could be infected by a virus or something, so be warned!
Who?
I can be contacted over the net: d93stapa@isy.liu.se. You could
also make me happy by sending a postcard from your home town. My
address:

Sweden.
Cost?
This program is What-Ever-You-Want-Ware, that is, you can do what
ever you want with it: copy it, sell it, dissect it, erase it. There
is only one thing you can't do, and that is to blame me for any
inconveniance. I won't be responsible if anything happens that
shouldn't happen due to my program.
Code?
I supply the source code, as a tutoring example of how you can find
out a Windows size and other useful information. The code could
probably be improved and optimized, but I don't find that neccesary.
It is short enough, and it should be bug-free.
The end?
Thanks for your time. I hope you find this program somewhat useful.
Please excuse me for any grammatical or spelling errors, but English
is not my native language.
Best regards,
Staffan Palmroos.
