Short: v4.1e - Watch lots o' files.
Uploader: agraham@hal9000.net.au (Ali Graham)
Author: agraham@hal9000.net.au (Ali Graham)
Type: comm/mail
Replaces: comm/mail/MailWatch*
Requires: Mail program (or similar), wbstart.library
or WBStart-Handler, AmigaOS 2 or higher,
AT Installer v43.x,
HTML browser to read the documentation
Version: 4.1e
This is a mail notification program which uses
external modules (specific instances of standard
Amiga libraries) to define its GUI behaviour.
Reasons to use it:
Implemented as a commodity.
Can watch one file or millions (well, I've only
tested it up to 16 at the moment, but there are
no program-imposed limits).
Well documented using HTML, with inline images etc.
Has a preferences program, to configure the
attributes for its GUI modules.
Can also run programs or scripts when the state
of the mailfiles change.
Can start programs via the CLI or Workbench, using
wbstart.library on OS 3.x systems, or
WBStart-Handler on OS 2.x systems.
Free - well, actually it's MailWare.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
NEW FEATURES: * Bugfixes, improved preferences program layout
and tooltypes, added size ranges as a limiter,
can now watch directories (sort of), some new
ARexx commands, parsed codes in icon names,
improved the Installer script, reduced memory
usage... basically, lots of work :)
