- FLUTE
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Welcome to Flute 1.83. Flute is a scripting language for Windows 3.1x and
- Windows 95 (It automatically adapts to suit the operating system it does
- not need to be reinstalled for Windows 95). We do NOT recommend it for Windows NT.
-
- Revision: July 21st 1996
-
- Flute controls program by having commands to 'click here' 'select this
- menu' or 'type this text'. It can control programs by:
- Mouse, Keyboard, menu and other user interface manipulations
- DDE Communications
- OLE Automation
- Windows Acts (functions performed by windows themselves)
-
- To Install run SETUP.EXE (you must run setup as it installs registry entries)
- and other Windows information. The folder containing setup.exe must only contain
- Flute files, so if you obtained this file as a .zip make sure you unzip it into
- an *empty* folder.

- Do You Like It?
-
- If you like Flute there are two things you can do about it:
-
- 1) Tell your friends, tell computer magazines, upload it to any BBSs you know or
- generally spread the word. There thousand of crap shareware products out there -
- how is anyone supposed to tell the dross from the cream?
- 2) Pay for it (and get rid of the registration message in the process).
-

- Don't like it?

- arrange a discount for registered customers.

-
- Better recording of cross window drags.
-
- Better recording of keyboard menu events.
-
- Better recording of alt-keyboard events and alt-mouse events.
-
- Saving and loading raw text files.
-
- New more powerful paste mouse actions dialogue.
-
- Added a Freeware reminder since this is getting closer and closer to a full release.
-
- New Hierarchical paste function dialog box, with buttons to take you to the
- helper windows.
-
- FastFindWindow - this is the same as findwindow, but whereas FindWindow will
- wait for 5 seconds for a window to appear, FastFindWindow returns immediately.
-
- deletefile - deletes a file and returns TRUE or an error as appropriate
- e.g. result:=deletefile("d:\1.txt");
-
- We have removed subclass.dll and loader.exe, these parts of Flute caused nothing
- but trouble and have been trashed.
-
- Swapped window names are now supported, use the paste FindWindow to generate a
- suitable FindWindow command. The Window name is now held in full,
- e.g. "Document1 - MSWord", the FindWindow command doesn't know which part is
- important, and so it checks the parts before and after the dash separately.
-
