UtilIt is a low-level utility module used by many other FaceWare modules. The types of commands supported by UtilIt can be seen in the "UtilIt" menu above. A few of the commands supported by UtilIt have become obsolete over the years, but have remained a part of the module for the sake of backward compatibility. The bulk of the UtilIt code, however, consists of often-used routines that have been added at the request of programmers like yourself, or have been found to be used often by other FaceWare modules.
UtilIt Command Format
UtilIt commands are executed via the FaceIt dispatching procedure using the same format as that described under the "Commands" topic in the ViewIt Guide.
UtilIt Resources
UtilIt contains an MDEF and WDEF that are only used if the "picture palette" menus described in the FaceIt Guide are being used by the program. If picture palettes are not being used, then both MDEF 1111 and WDEF 1111 (≈ 10K) can be removed from finished programs.
Another resource that you can often do without is XREC 1110 (≈ 3K). This resource is only used by special glue code like HyperFace that uses it to determine the size and content of the fRec record. Caution: XRECs found in other modules may be required, so don't blindly remove these.
Other resources that might be removed from UtilIt under certain conditions are too small to worry about, and could create more problems by trying to remove them than any advantage gained in a slightly reduced program size.
