The Pastry Box - version 1.0
This utility allows the user to select multiple noncontiguous lines
from a file and paste them to the clipboard. It uses a listbox to
contain the source file, so the file size is limited about 40K. I am
not certain of the max file size. The source file is loaded via a thread,
and if you attempt to select a new file before the current file is
completely loaded the utility will beep and not allow the file dialog
box to be opened. The program will load as much of the file as possible
and will not display an error message if the file is to big to fit in the
listbox. The utility opens the source as read only so it will not modify
the source file. The utility will read up to 1024 character lines,
lines longer will be wrapped to the next line.
The font, text color, background color used in the listbox may be
configured via the drag & drop method. Configuration changes may be
saved by using the save settings option which is under Exit. Included
in the configuration information is the size and position of the
application's window on the desktop, the file selected, and the
search string.
The configuration is saved in the file PASTRY.INI. The .INI
file is read from the working directory, so you can have multiple
.INI files by changing the working directory entry in the settings
notebook for the program object.
The utility is WPS aware, so you may also select a file by dragging a
copy of it onto the icon object.
The unmodified distribution ZIP file may be uploaded to other
bulletin board systems and on-line services.
This utility is not public domain, the author retains the copyright
but it is free for personal use. It may not be distributed with any
commercial product without permission from the author. A low cost
business site license for the program is available, contact the author
for further information.
The author may be contacted on the IBM PCC BBS under the assigned ID of
PR G67278, on the ILink OS/2 conference as Don Hawkinson, and via
internet email as don.hawkinson@twsubbs.twsu.edu
