- NOTE:
- In order to create this archive I had to shorten several names.
- After dearcing (using ARC023), rename cx.lib to commodities.library.

- README Release 0.4, April 7, 1987
-
- Release 0.4
- Found (the) bug(s) with the Sender objects. The messages they
- sent were often corrupt. I haven't been able to crash IHelp
- since I fixed this. Special thanks to Meridian Software for
- an example program which reproduced the problem.
-
- No other changes. Busy on other stuff.
-
-
- Release 0.3
- SPECIAL NOTE: added after Badge distribution
-
- Without a doubt, using IHelp to cycle windows real fast can cause
- a crash. I think this is an Intuition bug (therefore, still my
- fault). I am interested in knowing if Commodities crashes on
- its own.
-
- NEW THIS RELEASE:
-
- See the descriptions of ParseIX(), InvertKeyMap(), InvertString(),
- and AddIEvents() in the manual and function description document.
- The first is greatly changed (AND THE RETURN VALUE FOR SUCCESS HAS
- BEEN CHANGED!) and the others are new. The program test.c illus-
- trates the power of these new functions, although I haven't had
- time to create the really killer demo.
-
- I also broke out the documentation in "functions" on the ArgArray
- functions. It is still wise to read the source in the "cxsupp"
- directory.
-
- The library version is bumped to '3.' You can now open the
- library successfully asking for a version from 0 to 3, inclusive.
-
- FROM LAST RELEASE:
-
- This is the first or second distribution of Commodities Exchange, a
- programming utility and standard. Please read everything in the 'doc'
- subdirectory, starting with the Manual, which contains a copyright
- statement.
-
- All source to everything is included. The source for the library
- is for reference only, and is not meant to be recompiled, in the
- same or altered form. There isn't a promise to continue to provide
- source to the library with future releases.
-
- I haven't actually compiled the examples and support routines from
- the release disk, but all the files you need are on the disk
- somewhere.
-
- The release consists of:
- -one Amiga Exec library, commodities.library, Version 2.
- -three example applications, IHelp, NoCapsLock, AutoPoint2.
- -a scanned library of support and interface functions
- -several documents: a manual, its outline, a function reference
- guide, and its summary.
- -a tools library with some necessary and some bonus functions.
- -source for everything (Aztec-C small model, small integer)
-
- To start the applications, you run them from the CLI, since
- there is no way yet to kill them if started from the Workbench.
- Parameter and environment passing to these applications are
- covered in the Manual.
-
- Please forward all comments to me. Thanks, and I hope the
- initial agony of dealing with the early releases is minimal.
