- EW: Exploding Windows, V1.4
- By Ed Scherer
- ---------------------------
- EW gives you "exploding" windows. This means that when windows and
- 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 the final
- window or requester will be. Windows and requesters that are closed get kind
- of the reverse treatment; they shrink to nothing.
- To use, click the EW icon or, from a CLI or Shell, type:
- SPOCPD:UTILITIES/EW <Return>
- EW installs itself and start intercepting OpenWindow(), CloseWindow(),
- Request(), and EndRequest() calls. To remove EW, just click on its icon or
- again type the CLI/Shell command as above, 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.
- 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.
