- RequestFile 37.4
- ================

- Copyright 1994 Simon Dick

-
- Introduction
- ============
-
- This program is based on the RequestFile program which comes with Workbench
- 3.0 and higher. This version works with Workbench 2.0 as well as the higher
- Workbench. Unfortunately, I can't make this program completely compatible
- with the Workbench 3.0 version when it is run under Workbench 2.0 as some
- of the features in the asl.library aren't available under Workbench 2.0 and
- you need Workbench 2.1 or higher to have all the functions.
-
-
- System Requirements
- ===================
- RequestFile needs Kickstart 2.04 or higher and asl.library V37 or higher.
-
-
- Usage
- =====
-
- The command line syntax is exactly the same as the Commodore version:
- DRAWER,FILE/K,PATTERN/K,TITLE/K,POSITIVE/K,NEGATIVE/K,
- ACCEPTPATTERN/K,REJECTPATTERN/K,SAVEMODE/S,MULTISELECT/S,
- DRAWERSONLY/S,NOICONS/S,PUBSCREEN/K
-
- DRAWER This allows you to specify the drawer which the file
- requester should start up in.
- FILE This allows you to specify the file which the file
- requester initially shows.
- PATTERN This adds a pattern gadget to the file requester and
- puts the pattern you supply in it.
- TITLE This allows you to specify the title of the file
- requester.
- POSITIVE This allows you to specify the text for the positive
- gadget (the one on the left). If you are running
- Workbench 2.0 (as opposed to Workbench 2.1 or
- higher) then the text can only be a maximum of 6
- characters long.
- NEGATIVE The same as the above except that you can change the
- negative gadget (the one on the right). The length
- limit mentioned above also applies here.
- ACCEPTPATTERN This allows you to give the file requester a
- pattern. Only files which match this pattern will be
- displayed. (Workbench 2.1+ only)
- REJECTPATTERN This allows you to give the file requester a
- pattern. Only files which don't match this pattern
- will be displayed. (Workbench 2.1+ only)
- SAVEMODE This switches the file requester into save mode,
- where the background colour is altered and you
- aren't allowed to double click a file to select it.
- MULTISELECT This switch tells RequestFile to turn the file
- requester to multiselect mode, this is where the
- user can select more than one file at the same time
- by shift clicking (selecting the file while the
- shift key is being held down) on any files.
- DRAWERSONLY This tells the file requester to only display
- directories. There is no file gadget on the
- requester.
- NOICONS This option tells the file requester to not display
- any icons (#?.info). (Workbench 2.1+ only)
- PUBSCREEN This allows you to give the file requester the name
- of a public screen to open on. (Workbench 2.1+)
-
-
- Distribution
- ============
-
- RequestFile is freely distributable as long as both the program file and
- this documentation file are distributed together.
- The only exception to this is if you want to use RequestFile as part of
- another project. In this case you are allowed to include just the program
- file as long as you mention that it is Copyright by me somewhere.

- History
- =======
-
- RequestFile 37.4 (30 November 1994) 2096 bytes
- Recompiled using Amiga E V3.0b
-
- RequestFile 37.3 (1 October 1994) 2192 bytes
- Recompiled using Amiga E V2.1b
- Hopefully fixed problem with returning random result codes when
- exiting.
-
- RequestFile 37.2 (23 August 1994) 2192 bytes
- Implemented the multiselect feature of the Commodore RequestFile.
- Fixed bug which meant that the pattern gadget would never be shown
- if you used the PATTERN option.
- Fixed slight bug which happened under V37 of the asl.library, if you
- didn't specify the POSITIVE option then the left hand gadget would
- be blank.
- Same as above only for the NEGATIVE gadget. These problems didn't
- happen using V39 of the asl.library so I assumed it would be the same
- under all versions.

- RequestFile 37.1 (15 August 1994) 1796 bytes
