This file must be distributed with req.library.
Official release of version 1.22, Jan '90
Req.library is Copyright ©1989, 1990 by C.W. Fox and Bruce Dawson. It is
freely distributable. No charge may be made for it's distribution, except
for a nominal media fee.
Feel free to distribute and use this library with your programs, along
with a notice that the library is 'FreeWare'.
The requester library must be distributed with this, explaining the
requester library to users. We would appreciate it if the programmer
documentation was distributed as well, but this is not mandatory. The
programmer documentation includes the descriptions of the library and its
functions (req.doc), and the three include files (req.h, reqbase.h and
reqbase.i).
Hello! This is the introduction to the all-new "req.library"!
What is it?
Req.library adds user-friendliness to the Amiga's user interface.
While all that intuition offers the programmer is a boring, inflexible,
slow, painful requester, req.library allows fast & user-friendly
requesters. Notice I said 'requesters', as they include a text requester
(who's size is automatically figured from the body of text within), a
colour requester (intelligent enough to correctly size it's palette
according to the depth of the screen), string and int requesters, and a
file requester!!! Not to mention numerous gadget creation routines, and a
real-time scroll routine.
The nice thing about the gadget creation routines, is that they create
fully re-entrant gadgets, so if you wish to run a routine over and over
(for, say, a multi-window program), you may feel free. All you do is pass
a buffer (the sizes required are defined in reqbase.i and reqbase.h) and
they will fill it in.
The complete programmer's docs and include files for req.library should
be available on many bulletin boards (Compuserve, Bix etc.) and on disk
from Fred Fish. If you are unable to get the documentation from on of
these sources, you can write to use for the programmer's package.
