- SmartFields is a replacement for Intuition string gadgets. It allows you to
- incorporate into your Amiga C programs the powerful editing capabilities
- often found in minicomputers. See the Introduction for a detailed list of
- features.
-
- The SmartFields package used to be a commercial program written by me and
- sold by Software Ingenuity. Because Software Ingenuity no longer exists, and
- because I hold the rights to all Software Ingenuity products, I decided to
- release SmartFields as "freeware." In all fairness to previous SmartFields
- customers, I did not release this product until six months after the last
- commercial package was sold.
-
- As you may notice, I put quite alot of work into this package. There are
- seventy functions and over 250K of docs. Unfortunately, there really isn't a
- large enough market to support this type of product. By releasing it as
- freeware, hopefully more people will find use of it than if it had remained
- commercial.
-
- If you plan on using SmartFields in a program you develop, please read the
- License Agreement. Although I've released this as freeware, contributions
- are definitely welcome.
-
- In case you are wondering, this is not the SmartFields that I use for SID.
- SID uses a very-stripped version of SmartFieldsII, the incredibly powerful
- successor to this system. SmartFieldsII has just about every feature that you
- could think of, plus some that you may have not, such as dynamic fields
- (fields with no fixed length--you can literally type forever!), vertical
- fields (create a mini-text editor within your program), automatic formatting,
- and more! Whether that system will ever be released as a commercial product
- or otherwise is questionable--I share the copyrights with another
- corporation. But if enough people show interest...
