-
- reqtools.library is a standard Amiga shared, runtime library. The purpose
- of ReqTools is to make it a lot quicker and easier to build standard
- requesters into your programs. ReqTools is designed with Commodore's style
- guidelines in mind, all requesters have the look-and-feel of AmigaDOS
- Release 2.
-
- ReqTools features the following requesters: a query requester, a string
- requester, a number requester, a file requester, a font requester, a
- palette requester, a volume requester and a screenmode requester.
-
- Also included are RTPatch (1.4) and RexxReqTools (1.3):
-
- RTPatch is a small program that will re-route functions from most popular
- requester libraries to ReqTools. Libraries currently supported are Arp, Req
- and Asl. RTPatch will also patch some functions in Intuition to give you
- improved system requesters.
-
- RexxReqTools gives ARexx users easy access to a large family of requesters.
- All requesters are easy to use; they require one or no arguments. But the
- requesters also have a lot of power through several optional arguments and
- through tagstrings. RexxReqTools itself doesn't implement any of these
- requesters, it is a link between ARexx and ReqTools.

- RELEASE 2.6 (Library version 38.1413)
-
- Forgot to update the proto include file in 2.5.
- The ReqTools preferences program got wrong (localized) strings
- sometimes.
- The file requester still did not show all volumes (but the volume
- requester sometimes did). I also realized that this change in the
- volume listing code means that the VREQF_ALLDISKS flags doesn't
- work. A workaround would be possible (for most disks at least), but
- is it really worth it?
- Fixed a bug in the volume listing code, that could cause an incorrect
- device name to be added to the volume name (if the dol_Task was NULL).
- E-version of the demo included.
- The color wheel didn't have its initial color right. Seems like
- WHEEL_HSB doesn't work on ON_NEW...
- Added soft link support to the file requester. Note that hooks need to
- read the link themselves.
- Russian translation added.
- Updated Installer script to make use of some new features.
- The palette requester would try to load the color wheel, and cause
- Enforcer hits (or worse), when the wheel shouldn't be displayed.
- The screen depth gadget in the screen mode requester didn't always
- behave properly. Also added some safety checks.
- The palette requesters copy and spread gadgets didn't work properly.
- Made a silly mistake when adding the mode indicator in the window
- title. ;)
- The copy and spread gadgets in the palette requesters didn't work
- properly. Made a silly mistake when adding the mode indicator in the
- window title. ;)
- The color wheel gadget will now always render in monochrome state, to
- minimize the impact on the screen in question.
