- ReqChange is a program that makes the system use ReqTools (⌐
- Nico Franτois) for requesters. The ReqTools requesters are much
- nicer to use, and that is why I've written this program. The icon's
- Tooltypes contains all possible arguments, set to the default
- values. ReqChange works on both OS 2.04 and OS 1.2/1.3.
-
- A quick installation guide: To install ReqChange, simply run the
- program (after copying apropriate version of reqtools.library to
- LIBS:. The Install script will do this for you). If you have OS
- 2.0, a settings window will pop up, allowing you to adjust the
- settings. This should be quite straigt-forward.
-
- In the drawer named Upd, you can find Upd, a "minimal player
- daemon", which is ⌐ 1991 Jonas Petersson & Absolut Software (aka
- Sirius Soft). Upd is used by ReqChange to get requesters with
- "sound effects". Upd is "Freely Distributable Copyrighted",
- included here by courtesy of Jonas Petersson, the author.
-
- The Install icon will install some important files for you. You
- will be asked for every item in question. ReqAsk and GetFile is
- used to interact with the user. Since GetFile and ReqAsk requires
- OS 2.04 to run, these programs will neither be used nor installed
- if you run the script under OS 1.2/1.3. The script will therefore
- be somewhat primitive if you have OS 1.3.
-
- The Demo icon will start a little script that tests the ReqAsk
- and GetFile programs. It also serves as a good example on how these
- two programs work (the Install.script is another example). It can
- also be used as a test to see the changes that ReqChange does.
-
- The two requester programs (ReqAsk and GetFile) are placed in
- the public domain. They currently only operate under OS 2.04. Do
- whatever you want with them. ReqChange on the other hand is ⌐

- Extra/GetEnv.Rexx is an example script on how to obtain the
- contents of a global environment varible. This way it's possible to
- use GetFile and ReqAsk from ARexx (you must use the GLOBAL flag
- with ReqAsk and GetFile for this). Note that the example script
- should be called as a function, e.g.: "say getenv( kickstart )".
-
- In the drawer named Extra you can find GetEnv.Rexx, the source
- and documentation for GetFile and ReqAsk, as well as error free (or
- so I hope :) linker libraries to access ReqTools from DICE
- (LibSrc.Lha). There you can also find SignalRC (with source), which
- allows you to send break signals to ReqChange.
