The Pastry Box - beta version 0.02
This utility allows the user to select multiple non-contigious lines
to be pasted to the clipboard from a file that is selected via a file
dialog box. 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 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 will allow you to save the font selected via drag & drop
and the file name loaded in the listbox. Color changes made via drag
& drop are not saved in this version.
The font and file name are 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 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 unmodified ZIP file PASTRY02.ZIP may be uploaded to other
bulletin board systems and online services.
