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)
Addition (31-10-97)
- Added the Screen To Back Depth Gadget
(Finally!)
Devious Tools Installation to Hard Drive
----------------------------------------
As you may realise, this button will
be totally useless!!!... So have you
got any idea as to what this button can
be used for instead??? If so, please
tell me...
