Short: Allow old prog. to use Datatypes
Author: cfc@iname.com
Uploader: cfc@iname.com
Version: 1.3ß
Type: util/cdity
Distribution: EmailWare
This commodity provide the use of datatypes to old software like Deluxe
Paint, Brilliance, etc...
It's a pre-release ! ( -no doc- ). I need your comments.
HOW: Patch the dos.library/Open function, intercept picture loading and
convert it in a standard IFF format.
REQUIREMENTS: OS 3.0 or higher.
MC68020 or higher.
INSTALLATION: Copy exe/HappyDT to the WBstartup drawer.
Copy prefs/HappyDT to the Prefs drawer.
CONFIGURATION: Run the Prefs/HappyDT.
- Tempory file: Select the place where the temp file will
be written.
- Info Window: Popup a window when HappyDT is working.
- Add: add a task in the task list. (select the prog.)*
- Delete: delete a task in the task list.
Each task you add in the list are patched to load not-IFF
pictures with datatypes (except .info and .font).
USE: Just run HappyDT !
You can kill/Disable it with Exchange.
* NOTE: Most of the time, tasks have the same name that the executable.
In other case, use a tool like SnoopDos to locate the real name
of the task.
Tested with: Deluxe Paint IV & V.
Brilliance.
Scala.
Wordworth.
TODO: - A real documentation.
¯¯¯¯ - A more-easy preference tool. ("Auto-Snoop" !)
- Localized.
- ...
FUTURE: Extend the use to other datatypes super-class (like sound, anim...).
