// 1. Overview
=============================================================================
This is a program which produces a report of identical format to *Status,
except it produces it from a saved file rather than the current CMOS
settings.
Suitable programs which export Config files include Configure (from Acorn),
SaveCMOS (from me), SaveCMOS (also from me) and Siolfer (again, from me).
Other useful and related programs by the same author:
+ SaveCMOS, a command line based utility which can save both Utility and
Config style CMOS files.
+ SaveCMOS, a desktop based program which behaves just like Acorn's
program by the name !SaveCMOS, except that mine utilises the features of
the new !Boot structures.
+ LoadCMOS, a command line based utility which loads in Config files.
Written because Acorn's program of the same name didn't appear to do it
properly.
+ Siolfer, a desktop based program which gives you a nice frontend to the
above three programs. Not really a frontend since all the code is
incorporated into the main program. I recommend this one over the
others, but the others have their uses.
=============================================================================
/// 2. How to Use
=============================================================================
Run it.
Drag a Config file onto the icon bar icon and after a bit of a wait, it will
pop up a textfile containing the usual status information as per the saved
CMOS file.
Feel free to save, print, turn into backdrop, or whatever the file.
=============================================================================
/// 3. Obtaining Updates
=============================================================================
Either mail me, or join the mailing list.
The mailing list is a mailing list to which all notices of software update
are posted. Usually a very low volume mailing list you should note. One can
join this list by mailing ictsw-request@mentor.don.tased.edu.au with the word
"SUBSCRIBE" in the body of the message.
=============================================================================
/// 4. Versions
=============================================================================
* 0.01 (19-Apr-1998)
* Uses PipeFS and ResourceFS to transport the files around without disc
access. Other than that, no special features apart from this being the
first version.
* 0.02 (21-Apr-1998)
* Tidied up slightly to work on RISC OS 3.1

=============================================================================
Neville Truskett, my dad, who wanted the program =)
I will definitely thank Dominic Symes, Tim Tyler and the others for Zap. See
the documentation for Siolfer for a quick praise of it, or
<http://www.mandala.co.uk/> for a copy of it.
