FeelX v1.1a
-----------
This package does contain only small changes. For information see v1.1 readme
below. To install v1.1a if you already installed *v1.1* follow these steps
(For upgrade v1.0 -> v1.1a see info below).
FEELX v1.1 -> v1.1a only
1. If v1.1 WPS object is installed:
- delete WPS-object (e.g. shredder)
and - use uninstal
2. REBOOT (necessary especially when installed as a WPS object)
3. Exit FeelX by starting
- fxopt (old fxopt v1.1 !!) quit
or - using one of the menu items
4. Copy new files over old files
New info:
- Sorry, I forgot to mention that you can program FeelX with the
FeelX.go (nowps.go) file
- default name for startup-file is nowps.go if started as a WPS-replacement
and feelx.go otherwise
- For more info cf. changes.txt
- To start a program that is not in the path please don't forget
to specify the FULL qualified path in the program attribute.
Hotkey info:
Some users were not very lucky about the hotkey feature. Mostly
because all Ctrl-Shift-combinations were deleted from the message
queue. This is not true any longer. The hotkeys can be a very
powerful help. Have a look at the toolbox.inc file. It is loaded
by feelx.go, the default description file. Some ideas are included
there (section Default_Hotkeys). Almost all samples are commented out.
Remove the comments, restart FeelX, try the hotkey (default: Ctrl-Alt+key)
and modify the file to your own preferences.
ideas?
- I don't want to make any promises about future versions - but I
currently thinking of a more use-friendly way to define FeelX actions
(menus, hotkeys, ...). If you have any good ideas, let me know
(but don't expect miracales from the next version ...)
- Furthermore I want to enhance the toolbox.inc file to make it easier
to program FeelX. If you have any good idea for a FeelX object,
or if you expect the FeelX language to do something that is not
possible now, let me kow (or send me the FOOL-definition).
- If you have problems to integrate your program or DLL, send me a mail
- ideas for new objects are very welcome (it's easy to enhance FeelX)
Felix.
================================================================================
FeelX v1.1
----------
The aim of this program (package) is:
- simulate some X-Window features (sliding focus, PM - Kill, 3rd mouse button)
- increase personal producuctivity by
a) offering a lot of menus (may be used as a WPS replacement)
b) easier mark & paste than standard OS/2
c) some small stand-alone tools
d) other features as described in FeelX.inf
- increase your fun using OS/2 :-)
Features of v1.1
- Same as v1.0 (WPS integration, context menus, ...)
minus:
- (some of the) bugs & problems
plus:
- new "special" functions: like hotkeys, windowlist(s), actionbar(s)
- support of 3rd mouse button
- much more flexibility (use a small language)
- easier program launching (OS/2 [->clipbrd, ->pm], dos, win)
Additional programs:
open WPS-object, fault-tolerant search for file(names), move
program into foreground from a batch file, change lines in an OS/2 shell,
change font in an OS/2 shell
