SUBJECT """"""" $VER: ShowIcon.doc 2.1 (23.02.1997) Copyright 1994, 1997 by Dalibor Kezele WARNING """"""" I'm not responsible if ShowIcon causes any damage to your disks, your programs or your data. I wrote this piece of code simply because I needed it and I decided to put it into public together with source code. I'm pretty sure that it hasn't "BURN_YOUR_CPU" code included, but if something happens - don't blame me. UTILITY """"""" ShowIcon is a little AmigaDos utility which shows icon images. """""""" ShowIcon displays icon image in a new window and icon information (such as WB position, width, height and depth of an icon) in CLI/Shell window. It openes different window for each icon you want it to display. With ShowIcon you don't need to load Workbench or run an icon painting program. ShowIcon is only 10 KB in size, optimized (see source code) and it executes quick. VERSION """"""" Last version is v2.1. Added almost everything. Minor bug removed. RUNNING """"""" ShowIcon takes the icon names you gave it and displays their images in a window. You can close the window if you click to CLOSEWINDOW button or press or . If you want to exit program immediately, press . If an icon contains second image, you can see it if you click onto icon. ShowIcon also writes icon information (WB position, size and depth) in CLI window. If you don't want ANSI colors use "C" option. If you don't want these information, use "I" option. In spite of this, if you want only these information without displaying icon image in a window, use "P" option. OPTIONS """"""" Run ShowIcon without parameters to get short help. """""""" Options: -i don't write icon information -c don't use ANSI colors -p don't display icon picture -e don't write error messages You can mix parameters in whatever combinations you like, both -i -c -p and -icp works. In pattern/filename you can use Unix-style asterisk "*" and "?", e.g. "*.info", "t*" and "?rd*.info". You have to be aware that options work only from the place you put them, e.g. "ShowIcon Disk.info -i Trashcan.info" will not write icon information about Trashcan.info, but will write it about Disk.info.

Hello to Dave Walshaw from UK who e-mailed me about ShowIcon. As the last, but not the least, thanks to few people who sent me a postcard and registered to ShowIcon: Michele Rotellini from Italy Klaus Cordes from Germany Jr. R. Hunter from Scotland This is a good example to the rest of you who use ShowIcon and didn't even send me an e-mail. Amiga programing is my hobby, I don't have much free time to do it so a postcard of support is a good inspiration for me.
