!!! CHECK OUT THE NEW OFFER ON DC SHOWER !!!
!!! Now getting Shower Power is even easier !!!
DC Topper v1.2
Copyright (c) 1991 Double Click Software
Program by Michael B. Vederman and Keith Gerdes
DC Topper v1.2 is a FREEWARE program. A FREEWARE program is one which you may
freely distribute, but you cannot charge for it or alter the program or
contents of the documentation in any manner. Double Click Software retains
all copyright exclusive rights except exclusive distribution.
==============================================================================
DC Topper will automatically select the window under the mouse (bring it to
the top) when you are at the GEM desktop.
Version 1.2 now works _much_ better inside programs, works with NeoDesk 3,
and will not cause menu items or file selector entries to be 'clicked' on when
the non-top window is under the menu or file selector.
==============================================================================
====================
Installing DC Topper
====================
>To install DC Topper:
----------------------
1) Place DCTOPPER.ACC in your bootup disk ROOT directory, or normal desk
accessory bootup path.
2) Reboot the computer.
When installed, any time you move over an inactive window, DC Topper will
emulate a button click and bring the window to the top.
If you have any item selected on the desktop or in any window, then the
'auto-topping' will not occur. Additionally, if you have either mouse
button pressed down, the 'auto-topping' will not occur.
=====================
Configuring DC Topper
=====================
>To configure DC Topper:
------------------------
1) Select the 'DC Topper v1.2' entry from the DESK menu. An introduction
alert will appear.
2) Click on the CONFIG button to go to the configuration alert.
3) You can have DC Topper ON or OFF when in programs. Click on the
appropriate button. The configuration info will be saved back to
DCTOPPER.ACC. Make sure DCTOPPER.ACC is on the root of your bootup
disk, or you will get a save error.
NOTE: When you are in a program, the window under the mouse will _always_
be topped, unless you have either MOUSE BUTTON PRESSED.
NOTE: DC Topper uses several undocumented memory locations in order to
properly work. AMERICAN TOS versions 1.0, 1.2, 1.4, 1.6, 2.05 and 3.01
will definitely work. DC Topper may not work on other ROMs.
