Copy/Wipe Options Setter
------------------------
By Mike Ironmonger
This program sets the default options used by the Copy, Wipe and Count
commands. Copy, for instance, has twelve on/off options which determine the
way in which it works. Typing '*Help Copy' gives full details of the
options. The default options are held in the system variable Copy$Options.
Any of these can be overridden by adding the option letter at the end of the
Copy command. Preceding the option letter with ~ turns the option off, while
the letter alone turns the option on. Count and Wipe work in an identical
manner, but have three options each.
This program allows the value of Copy$Options (and the corresponding
variables for Count and Wipe) to be set using a Wimp interface, as well as
enabling settings to be saved and loaded.
When run, the program puts an icon on the icon bar. Clicking on the icon
opens a window containing an on/off icon for each option. Clicking Menu over
this window allows the default options to be restored or the current options
saved. Double clicking on an options file, or dragging it to the icon bar
icon, will reload those options. Clicking Menu over the icon bar icon allows
the program to be terminated.
Note that only the Copy options Force and Stamp affect the Desktop. The
other options only affect the operation of the star commands.
