MINFO V1.01
===========
Created by Matt Francis (m.p.francis@newcastle.ac.uk)
ReqTools by Nico François
GUI created with GadToolsBox V2.0c
REQUIREMENTS
------------
Kickstart V36 or above.
ReqTools library V38 or above.
MultiUser library V39 or above.
INTRODUCTION
------------
MInfo is a GUI equivalent to the MultiUser's own MProtect command. It
allows you to edit the state of all protection bits of a file or directory
(DOS bits, owner bits, group bits and other bits) and also displays the file
or directory's owner (if any).
MInfo was written in assembley language (with the help of CygnusEd V2.12 and
GenAm V3.01), and the interface was designed using GadToolsBox V2.0c.
USAGE
-----
MInfo must be run from a Shell.
Format: MINFO [FILE] <filename> [PUBSCREEN <public screen name>]
Template: FILE/A,PUBSCREEN/K
FILE - The name of the file whose protection bits you want to
examine and/or edit.
PUBSCREEN - The name of the public screen you want MInfo's window to
appear on.
CTRL-C will cause MInfo to quit (same effect as using the Cancel gadget or
the Quit menu item). Also, CTRL-D will cause MInfo's window to pop-up
(unzip, become active, get pushed to front etc.)
TO DO
-----
If I make any changes to MInfo, the first thing I'll do is re-write it in C.
Then I might do the following:
- make it fully Workbench-friendly by giving it an AppIcon, AppWindow and
AppMenu. This will greatly increase the program's functionality, and
provide some much needed Workbench support for the MultiUser system.
- display more information in the window (datestamp, comment, numerical user
and group IDs, user name, compatibility with MultiUser V39 multiple groups
etc.).
HISTORY
-------
V1.01 - Made some changes to the GUI including fond-sensitivity.
V1.00 - First draft.
