- Req.library is Copyright ⌐1989, 1990 by C.W. Fox and Bruce Dawson. It is
- freely distributable. No charge may be made for it's distribution, except
- for a nominal media fee.
-
- Feel free to distribute and use this library with your programs, along
- with a notice that the library is 'FreeWare'.
-
- The requester library must be distributed with this, explaining the
- requester library to users. We would appreciate it if the programmer
- documentation was distributed as well, but this is not mandatory. The
- programmer documentation includes the descriptions of the library and its
- functions (req.doc), and the three include files (req.h, reqbase.h and
- reqbase.i).

-
- Hello! This is the introduction to the all-new "req.library"!
-
- What is it?
-
- Req.library adds user-friendliness to the Amiga's user interface.
- While all that intuition offers the programmer is a boring, inflexible,
- slow, painful requester, req.library allows fast & user-friendly
- requesters. Notice I said 'requesters', as they include a text requester
- (who's size is automatically figured from the body of text within), a
- colour requester (intelligent enough to correctly size it's palette
- according to the depth of the screen), string and int requesters, and a
- file requester!!! Not to mention numerous gadget creation routines, and a
- real-time scroll routine.
-
- The nice thing about the gadget creation routines, is that they create
- fully re-entrant gadgets, so if you wish to run a routine over and over
- (for, say, a multi-window program), you may feel free. All you do is pass
- a buffer (the sizes required are defined in reqbase.i and reqbase.h) and
- they will fill it in.
-
- The complete programmer's docs and include files for req.library should
- be available on many bulletin boards (Compuserve, Bix etc.) and on disk
- from Fred Fish. If you are unable to get the documentation from on of
- these sources, you can write to use for the programmer's package.
