Patch Requesters.
Put PatchReq-Seg in L:, PatchReq in C:, and call PatchReq in your
startup-sequence to have all System requesters to appear under the mouse
cursor. If you have arp.library, the arp FileRequester() will be replaced
by the great req.library FileRequester(). Anyway, PatchReq will search for
PatchReq-Seg before in the current directory, and then in L:.
If you get a "Software error - task held" message, you will have the choice
between "Suspend" and "Cancel". Cancel will call guru as usual, but
Suspend, like in workbench 2.0, will suspend your dead task and close the
requester. In addition, the requester will tell you the name of the dead
task, and the cli number if any.
This will take you no more than 1850 bytes of memory, won't create a
process nor take CPU time!
Usage:
PatchReq [CACHE] [NOAUTOREQ]
if CACHE is on, file requester will bufferize directories. A typical
directory takes about 2 kilo bytes of memory. If off, dirs will be read
each time file requester is called.
NOAUTOREQ switch off AutoRequest() patch, except for Software Error...
Release notes:
Version 1.3
First Release.
Version 1.4
Now you can disable AutoRequest patch since some people like to
have automatic retry when a disk is inserted, which is not handled
in popup requesters.
