EW Exploding Windows, version 1.4
EW gives you "exploding" windows. This means that when windows (and also
requesters) are opened, they open in a more exciting manner than you're
used to seeing - a rectangle grows from a very small size to the size that
the final window or requester will be. Windows and requesters that are
closed get kind of the reverse treatment - they shrink away to nothing.
To use, just type EW (or click on its Workbench icon) and EW will install
itself and start intercepting OpenWindow(), CloseWindow(), Request(), and
EndRequest() calls. To remove EW, just type EW (or click on its Workbench
icon) and it will tell the background EW to go away. If you really like it,
you might want to put it in your startup sequence. If running EW from the
CLI, you can also specify -S to prevent EW from displaying status messages.
Note that you do NOT need to use RUN or RUNBACK to invoke EW.
Command line format:
EW [-F0] [-F1] [-L0] [-L1] [-RG] [-RP] [-S0] [-S1]
where:
-F0 selects unfilled (single lines) explosion/implosion
-F1 selects filled (semi-solid) explosion/implosion (default)
-L0 selects solid lines
-L1 selects dashed lines (default)
-RG selects "grow rectangle" exploding/imploding style
-RP selects "project rectangle" exploding/imploding style (default)
-S0 disables status / credit messages
-S1 enables status / credit messages (default)
The above options can appear in any order and are not case-sensitive.
