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.
