- Finger-In-A-Window v1.12
- Freeware (c) 1996 by Greg Kondrasuk
- -------------------------------------------------------------
-
- REQUIREMENTS:
-
- -OS/2 2.x, 3.0
- -TCP/IP 1.2.1 or higher
- -Rexx support installed with REXXUTIL.DLL and RXSOCK.DLL
- located in directories in your LIBPATH enviromental variable.
-
- WARRENTY:
-
- This software comes with absolutely no warranty, expressed or
- implied, including but not limited to fitness for a particular
- purpose. You should realize that I am in no way responsible for
- any loss or damage that may occur due to the use of this software.
- The program is provided on an "as is" basis. Use at your own risk.
-
-
- DESCRIPTION:
-
- Finger-In-A-Window is an OS/2 PM program that will allow you
- to store a list of frequently fingered addresses and display the
- finger output in a scrollable window. The address list can
- be saved, sorted, and arranged and the program's size, position,
- and output window font (changed by drag-and-drop from the OS/2
- Font Palette) may also be saved. Unfortunately though, there is
- no help file because I don't yet own a help file compiler. But
- the program is quite straight-forward and information line tips
- are available for the buttons and menu choices.
-
- Finger-In-A-Window was written using Hockware's excellent VisPro
- REXX 3.0. It accesses the TCP/IP sockets directly using RxSock.
- Therefore the RXSOCK.DLL file must be in your LIBPATH. I believe
- it is installed by default with Warp Connect, but not with the
- dialup TCP/IP in the BonusPak. If you don't have it on your
- computer, it can be obtained from Hobbes (among other places) at:
-
- ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/os2/ibm/ews/rxsock.zip
-
- If you have any questions/comments/suggestions, please let
- me know. Feel free to email me at gregk@cvfn.org (mailbox
- open 24 hours a day!).
-
- Enjoy!

- HISTORY
- ---------------------------------------------------------------
- 1 January 1996 - Initial v1.0 release
-
- 1 January 1996 - v1.01 release (Gosh, that didn't long!)
- -Fixed problem with missing DLL in .EXE file
-
- 1 January 1996 - v1.02 release (Again!?!? Geez Greg! Learn to program!)
- -Completely elimated the missing DLL file by hard-coding the name
- of the temporary file (no need to call SysFileTemp() and therefore
- to have REXXUTIL.DLL installed) and providing font-change support
- through drag-and-drop only.
- -Fixed problem with sort dialog introducing junk addresses if the
- up/down buttons were pressed with no address selected.
-
- 3 January 1996 - v1.1 release
- -Added direct TCP/IP socket support with RxSock--no more temp files!
- Therefore RXSOCK.DLL must be in LIBPATH.
- -REXXUTIL.DLL once again required to be in LIBPATH.
-
- 20 February 1996 - v1.11 release
- -Buttons now become disabled while a finger is executing.
- -Updated my email address in About dialog box.
-
- 25 February 1996 - v1.12 release
- -Re-included the icon that had been left off of the v1.11 build (oops!).
- -Corrected the About dialog box to show the version number.
- -Small adjustments in the output window size so that it would be flush
- against the window border.
