- awd - Archimedes Window Dump
-
- This program allows you to dump the contents
- of a wimp window into a sprite file, a little
- bit like xwd does under X-windows. There are
- 3 modes of operation:
-
- o normal window
- o background window
- o icon bar
-
- To make a dump of a window, place the pointer
- over the window you require and press the
- SHIFT+CTRL+PRINT key. If the window is a
- "normal window", ie. user windows and menus
- (but not menu trees) then a snapshot of the
- window is taken. If the window is the background
- window then the whole screen is dumped, and
- if it is the icon bar then the icon bar is
- dumped. The icon bar dump only works on fixed
- icon bars. Once you have taken a dump, you can
- save it in the normal way, or view it.
-
- The icon bar menu contains:
-
- o info - normal program information
- o save - normal save box
- o view - view the current dump in a
- DesktopViewer window
- o clear - Clear and free the memory
- held for the current dump
- o quit - quit the application
-
- Configuration: (Thanks go to Philip Colmer)
-
- The default "hot" key can be changed by
- editing the !Config file, contained within
- this application. The default value should
- be &1b0, which is also the value taken if
- the file cannot be found. The number
- represents the key value return by wimp poll
- routine (refer to page 1198 of the RISC OS 2
- PRMs). When ever passing this application on
- to anyone, please change the !Config file back
- to the default (&1B0). The file should contain
- just 4 characters which are taken to represent
- a hex number. Some example values follow:
-
- o &1B0 - SHIFT-CTRL-PRINT
- o &180 - PRINT
- o &181 - F1
-
- DO NOT SQUEEZE THE RUNIMAGE FILE. This action
- will result in the application not working
- within the 8K wimpslot.

- any files contained within the this directory,
- and the source code. The program can be passed on,
- but must be passed on complete, and this includes
- info-servers, bbs, and PD libraries. NO CHARGE should
- be made for this program. Like almost any computer program,
- this program may contain minor bugs which should not affect
- the general running of the program, but may crop up
- occasionally due to unforeseen circumstances (e.g.
- running on hardware/software/OS versions not the same
- as the author's or under certain conditions not yet tested
- by the author). Users are encouraged to send any bug reports
- to the author at the address specified earlier, but the
- author is NOT liable for any problems (disk crashes, hung
- machines and the such like) that may arise from these bugs.
- This stems from the fact that the software is FREE and cannot
- be guaranteed to be 100% bug-free. However, the author
- will always fix any reported bugs and release a fresh
- version of this if the bug was serious enough.
