WBExtender 2.01 (20.12.94) by Martin Berndt
===========================================
This nifty little program replaces your WB Titlebar and the "About..."
Requester with more useful information about your system.
Simply place the program and icon in "SYS:WBStartup/".
This is how the Titlebar will look:
AmigaOS x.x (xxx) x.xxx.xxx Chip x.xxx.xxx Fast T:xx L:xx S:xx [--]
| | | | | | | |
| | + free ChipMem + free FastMem | | | |
| | | | | |
| +------- ChipSet used (OCS, ECS or AGA) | | | |
| | | | |
+------------ OS Version | | | |
| | | |
Number of Tasks -----------------+ | | |
| | |
Number of Libraries ------------------+ | |
| |
Number of Screens -------------------------+ |
|
Serial & Parallel Status -----------------------+
[--] = none used
[s-] = SER used, but no Carrier
[S-] = SER active, Carrier present
[-p] = PAR Printer connected
[-P] = PAR Printer ready/selected
Attention!
Workbench only refreshes display when amount of free memory has changed!
And here's your new Workbench/About...
+---------------------------------------------+
OS Version --------> | Kickstart 40.70, Workbench 40.42 |

| Largest free block: 10.242.192 Bytes |
+---------------------------------------------+
Gadgets -----------> | OK Reboot Flush |
+---------------------------------------------+
OK : just leave Requester as before
Flush : flush all inactive libs, fonts etc.
Reboot : reboots system, opens confirmation Requester first
+-----------------------------------+
| --- System Reboot --- |
| |
| Wait for disk activity to finish. |

| OK Cancel |

Requirements: AmigaOS 3.x
IMPORTANT: This should be the LAST patch on EasyRequestArgs!
Use it from startup-sequence after "LoadWB delay"
if neccesary and use a high STARTPRI for ARQ.
This is how I start it:
...
c:LoadWB delay ; open WB etc.
c:Wait 1 ; give WBStartup some time to load
c:WBExtender ; start this wonderful program
EndCLI >NIL:
WARNING: Some bad Programs which extend the Toolsmenu in an
illegal way (ToolsDaemon etc) do not work with
WBExtender, cause of multiple sanity checks.
You should prefer Toolmanager 2.1 anyway...
History:
1.3 - first public release
1.4 - Memory detection bug fixed
1.5 - removed stupid Enforcer hit in EasyRequestArgs

2.0 - WB Extender needs AmigaOS 3.x now!

2.01 - now works with 68000 CPU ;-)
