- Wiat v1.20
-
- (read update below)
-

-
- This is written for OS 2.0x only! This was written in C using
- DICE C under operating system 2.04. Wiat can be added to your tools
- menu by a tools manager of your choice. It has been released into
- the public domain. Spread this around!
-
- This is a similar utility to that found on WorkBench of OS 2.04.
- Under the WorkBench menu you will find "Execute Command <A>E."
-
- I didn't like two things about this utility:
- 1. The default size of the window was too small.
- 2. It would go away and I would have to go call it up again.
-
- Solution:
-
- 1. It will open a window 640 x 200 (big as
- Hi-Res-Non-Interlaced).
- 3. If you specify "-m" as an arg it will use the maximum
- allowed window size (depends on screen).
- 2. If you specify "-s" as an arg it will *stay up* and
- let you perform another command.
-
- Examples for Wiat:
-
- 1. "-s" Is an option to be specified from the CLI.
- 1> wiat -s
- 2. "-m" Is an option to be specified from the CLI.
- 1> wiat -m
- 3. "-s -m" Combinations.
- 1> wiat -s -m (or -m -s)
-
- Updated in this version (1.20) :
- 1. Old version didn't check for Operating System type, so
- this one does (finally!).
- 2. Now uses *only* OS 2.04 gadgets (3d look).
- 3. Implementation of Check Boxes (used to toggle on/off
- stay up, use max window size gadgets)
- 4. ..and some bug fixes.
-
- Future versions:
- 1. You will have to wait and see.
- 2. Send me suggestions if you want to.
