Replacement !AutoBoot programs for use with !TCPIPUser and !Newsbase
====================================================================
This package contains re-written copies of the !AutoBoot absolute file
that has been used inside the !TCPIPUser and !Newsbase applications.
The action of the program is to scan the Autoboot directory inside the
application and execute *Filer_Boot commands for all applications found.
No action is taken on files or ordinary (non-application) directories.
It will usually be run from the application's !Boot file, as follows:
!TCPIPUser !Newsbase
---------- ---------
WimpSlot -min 4K WimpSlot -min 4K
Run <TCPIP$Dir>.!AutoBoot Run <Newsbase$Dir>.!AutoBoot
!TCPIP (the KA9Q internet suite ported to Acorn RISC OS) version 2.01
appears to be the source of the original !AutoBoot program. This
version should hopefully address the problem(s) reported with the old
copy. (For instance, a missing AutoBoot directory used to cause a
spurious error report, and SWI Wimp_CloseDown was called incorrectly.)
Credits to whoever designed the first version of this, and to Jonathan
Coxhead for creating OSLib which has been used to help assemble the
program, and finally to Mssrs Symes and Ebourne for writing the parts
of the excellent !Zap editor, as used by countless Acorn developers.
