- EW Exploding Windows, version 1.4
-
- EW gives you "exploding" windows. This means that when windows (and also
- requesters) are opened, they open in a more exciting manner than you're
- used to seeing - a rectangle grows from a very small size to the size that
- the final window or requester will be. Windows and requesters that are
- closed get kind of the reverse treatment - they shrink away to nothing.
-
- To use, just type EW (or click on its Workbench icon) and EW will install
- itself and start intercepting OpenWindow(), CloseWindow(), Request(), and
- EndRequest() calls. To remove EW, just type EW (or click on its Workbench
- icon) and it will tell the background EW to go away. If you really like it,
- you might want to put it in your startup sequence. If running EW from the
- CLI, you can also specify -S to prevent EW from displaying status messages.
- Note that you do NOT need to use RUN or RUNBACK to invoke EW.
-
- Command line format:
-
- EW [-F0] [-F1] [-L0] [-L1] [-RG] [-RP] [-S0] [-S1]
-
- where:
-
- -F0 selects unfilled (single lines) explosion/implosion
- -F1 selects filled (semi-solid) explosion/implosion (default)
- -L0 selects solid lines
- -L1 selects dashed lines (default)
- -RG selects "grow rectangle" exploding/imploding style
- -RP selects "project rectangle" exploding/imploding style (default)
- -S0 disables status / credit messages
- -S1 enables status / credit messages (default)
-
- The above options can appear in any order and are not case-sensitive.
