@node Overview "Overview"
@{!</PRE>}I have some web pages setup, with my email info on them.  The problem is that when I'm at uni I can't check any email thats been sent to my home address, and when I'm at home (uni holidays) the uni closes our accounts, so any mail going there is lost.@{!<P>}
While I'm at uni I have my uni email address on my webpages, and when I come home I have to change it to my home address.  This wasn't so bad before, but now I have around 40 pages, each with my email address at least twice, so its a bit of a pain changing them by hand.@{!<P>}
There are other programs that replace strings in files but, like they say, none had all the features I wanted, so I thought I'd write my own.
@endnode

@node Use "Use"
@{!</PRE>}Just enter the strings, select a file, and click go!@{!<P>}

No mouse is needed - use TAB to move between the input strings and to select the "Do it" button

@node Future
@{!</PRE>}These are some things I want to implement soon:

@{!<UL>}
@{!<LI>}- Source viewer (maybe copy&paste...)
@{!<LI>}- Multiple file select
@{!<LI>}- Recursive dir seaching (for pattern matches (#?.html))
@{!<LI>}- Remembers previous strings for super speed
@{!<LI>}- Any ideas?
@{!</UL>}
@endnode

@node Features "Features"
@{!</PRE>}OK, heres the big list:

@{!<UL>}
@{!<LI>}- Smart looking GUI (?)
@{!<LI>}- Easy to use
@{!<LI>}- Can be used in a cli, or load from WorkBench for the GUI
@{!</UL>}
@endnode

@node needs "Requirements"
@{!</PRE>}@{!<UL>}
@{!<LI>}- OS 2.04 or above
@{!<LI>}- @{"MUI" link mui} (I use 3.6, dunno what version my prog needs) for the GUI - @{b}IT WILL STILL WORK WITHOUT MUI@{ub}, you just wont have a nice GUI :(
@{!</UL>}

Tested on:@{!<P>}

My Amiga 1200 with Blizzard 030iv (50MHz) board, 16 meg fast@{!<BR>}
Softkicked OS 3.1 (40.68)@{!<BR>}
MUI 3.6

@endnode

@node mui "Why MUI?"
@{!</PRE>}Simply: Its easy to code GUI's in MUI, its hard otherwise, and I like it, it looks good.@{!<P>}
Anyway, on my machine its not slow :)
