--------------Help file for !Zyztem (if one was needed!)-------------------
This application is designed to supplement and enhance the !System utility
provided by Acorn with Risc Os. It simply provides a convenient place to put
those 3rd-party Modules that are by copyright not permitted inside the
!System.Modules directory. This application works in exactly the same way as
!System, except that it sets the System variable Zyztem$Dir. Then it simply
RMLoads all these files. This is a sloppy way of doing it, but for a 10
minute hack, what d'ya expect? This application is TOTALLY Public Domain, ie
you can do what you want with it, without restriction.
Insert all your modules in the !Zyztem.Modules directory, and may the
schwartz be with you.
Well, that's sort of how it goes!
______________________________________________________________________________
Questions you may ask here:
1/ What is the difference between !System and !Zyztem?
OK: there is no major FUNDAMENTAL difference between !System and !Zyztem,
except that You can store ANY modules you like in !Zyztem.Modules, whereas
!System is for Acorn approved modules only. An example of this is Interface.
This is a v. useful RM, but is NOT acorn approved and therefore may NOT be
stored in !System. This is a candiadate for !Zyztem.
2/ Who wrote this program?
I'd love to tell you, except that i think that the simple object of putting
a !Directory, making a few obey files and a couple of sprites does not
warrant any actual program writing. Such things are therefore not worth
putting your name to. Also, this allows ANYONE who likes to update it, to do
so, without restriction.
3/ Ok then, just tell us the country of origin.
Where else? With a name like !Zyztem, this is a product of the USSR (or any
other nation that likes to think that Russians speak like this!)
Da Comrades, and remember, "I know nuzink, I know nuzink" <Hogan's Heroes>

Please feel free to distribute this program if you feel it worthwhile. If
not, please write a substitue program of a more classy nature!
Ciao People!
