- Short: The MUI requester improver
- Author: Matthias.Bethke@stud.uni-erlangen.de
- Uploader: Matthias.Bethke@stud.uni-erlangen.de
- Version: 1.6
- Type: util/cdity
-
-
- If you like ARQ's functionality but find it a little old-fashioned,
- have a look at this! It's a MUIfied rewrite with similar features
- (new imagery, ARexx support, keyboard control etc.) and some new ones.
-
- New since V1.4:
-
- V1.5b 19-Apr-9 - although it doesn't show very much, V1.5b is a
- major rewrite! Trying to patch other
- intuition.library requester functions and add
- some features I found myself adding hacks and
- kludges to keep MRQ's main function a drop-in
- replacement for EasyRequestArgs(). No good.
- Now all the actual patch does is to allocate a
- message with some space to hold various data that
- needs to be kept while a requester is open. This
- it sends to MRQ's message port and just waits for
- a reply. The main MRQ process handles everything
- else. This makes for much better decoupling of
- MRQ and the process (now it may even be a simple
- task) calling EasyRequestArgs() than before.
- V1.6 27-Jul-98 - this version had to be written twice - lost all
- the source back to the V1.5 backup after almost
- finishing 1.6. Well, should be really clean now
- :-)
- - saved 2K again by replacing the last stdio
- sprintf() calls with a RawDoFmt()-based version
- from my recent mb_utils.lib. Back under 20K again!
- - bugfix: MRQ's public messageport wasn't properly
- removed. I guess V1.5b had introduced this,
- - new names for the OK_IMG/CANCEL_IMG tooltypes
- - implemented IBUTTONSBYTEXT
- - completed the Windozeish set of imagebuttons
- - some optimizations, button creation code made
- somewhat less messy :)
-
- If you had any previous version of MRQ installed, BEWARE: some tooltype names
- have changed!
