Devious Tools Greetings & Messages......
----------------------------------------
 I greet all I know (To hard to maintain this!) 

V3.1 code notes:-
-----------------
  - Fixed the input.  Now I'm using a IDCMP loop, 
    and thus it doesn't hog 98% of CPU when 
    waiting for input. Now it should be proberly
    multitasking!! (in the input)
  - It frees the CLI (if run from there). Better
    for multitasking!
  - Status now works 100% on loading

  - Made it that the tool pack can be started in 
    nearly every monitor mode
  - You can now use external text viewers for
    looking at the text (eg, so you can see the 
    text reader output with MCP running
 (Note about the above 2.  To get a menu of the 
extra functions, just add HELP in the program
arguments to get the help screen.)
  - Fixed up the Sliders, so now they should
    kind of be proportional!!! 
  - Made the Install To HD function work, so the
    program knows if it is run from HD or not
    Tell me if you have any problems with it.

  - Found a bug with the index, where if you use a
    external text viewer, sometimes, it sends the 
    text viewer the crunched version of the index.
    So that is fixed now (hopefully).
Additions:- (12-10-97)
  - This will only work now from HD (Hence the new
    focus of Devious Tools.  And is only 2 files!!
  - Spare button on the page!!! (Any Ideas?)
  - ALL the files are encapsulated!!! (even unlzx!) 
  - No need to have unlzx on your system, as it
    detects if you got it or not
  - New text reader (coded from scratch). 
    (Many Thanks to King Guppy)


Devious Tools Installation to Hard Drive

 be totally useless!!!...  So have you
