- replaced by the same outline font as the rest of the desktop.

-
- Patching the Filer
- ------------------
-
- Note: This patch only works with Filer version 1.64 (the one in RISC OS 3.1x)
-
- Simply double click on the !OutFiler application. This should create a new
- file called "NewFiler" in the same directory. This is the patched Filer module.
- When run, the version number of the Filer is checked, and if it is not 1.64 then
- a error is reported.
-
- This patch has been tested with "FilerPatch" v1.15 by Jens H. Ovesen. By running
- !OutPatch after !FilerPtch, "FilerPatch" v1.15 can be patched to use outline
- fonts.
-
- ********************************************************************************
-
- Installing the new filer
- ------------------------
-
- The new Filer module created by !OutFiler must be loaded before the desktop is
- started. This is easily done as part of your boot sequence by, for example,
- adding the following lines
- *RMLoad SCSI::SCSI_4.$.!Boot.NewFiler
- (Note: replace the path to the !Boot application with that for your own system
- or your preferred location of the files)
-
- NOTE: To work, the module OutlineWimp (file outlnwimp) must be loaded as well.
- This should be done anyway if you are using the patched WindowManager.
