ReqChange is a program that makes the system use ReqTools
(© Nico François) for requesters. The ReqTools requesters are
much nicer to use, and that is why I've written this program.
The icon's Tooltypes contains all possible arguments (with
some of them commented out, by enclosing them in parenteses),
set to the default values. ReqChange works on both OS 2.04
and OS 1.2/1.3.
The Install icon will install reqtools.library, ReqChange,
ReqAsk and GetFile if you want. ReqAsk and GetFile is used to
interact with the user. Since GetFile and ReqAsk requires OS
2.04 to run, these programs will not be used nor installed if
you run the script under OS 1.2/1.3.
The Demo icon will start a little script that tests the
ReqAsk and GetFile programs. It also serves as a good example
on how these two programs work (the Install script is another
example). It can also be used as a test to see the changes
that ReqChange does.
The two requester programs (ReqAsk and GetFile) is placed
in the public domain. They currently only operate under OS
2.04. Do whatever you want with them. ReqChange on the other
hand is © Copyright 1992 Magnus Holmgren.
Extra/GetEnv.Rexx is an example script on how to obtain
the contents of a global environment varible. This way it's
possible to use GetFile and ReqAsk from ARexx (you must use
the GLOBAL flag with ReqAsk and GetFile for this). Note that
the example script should be called as a function, e.g.: "say
getenv( kickstart )".
In the drawer named Extra you can find GetEnv.Rexx, the
source and documentation for GetFile and ReqAsk, as well as
error free linker libraries to access ReqTools from DICE
(LibSrc.Lha).
