   * = with the comes of datatype.library 45+ and DTConvert example, it is 
       useful to know which datatypes can save/convert data to his format

---------------------------------

I need more informations about all these libraries. And especially about:

script.datatype    The Kara Collection CD V3.0 by Cloanto

Uploader: GISBURN@w-specht.rhein-ruhr.de (Roland Mainz)
Type:     util/sys

New "AddDataTypes", V45.2

This is the datatypes.library V45.3-matching release.

Includes a set of sample descriptors with tools, including descriptors for
AmigaVision Flow,
Aminet ReadMe,
FantaVision (IFF FANT),
IFF AIFF,
IFF SMUS,
LHarc,
MovieSetter and so on.


Part of the "DataTypes Replacement Project", which includes a new
"AddDataTypes", a new "datatypes.library" and a new "MultiView"
(GMultiView).



This is a new AddDataTypes command.
It offers more flexibility than the previous versions offered by Commodore.
1) It offers the possibility to use subdirectories in DEVS:DataTypes/. 
   Finally, no more chaos in your datatypes drawer.
2) It fixes some memory leaks of the old AddDataTypes command when replacing 
   datatype descriptors.
3) It is 100% compatible to the original versions V39 and V40
4) It includes a preferences editor.

Author:   GISBURN@w-specht.rhein-ruhr.de (Roland Mainz)
Uploader: GISBURN@w-specht.rhein-ruhr.de (Roland Mainz)
Type:     util/libs

This project replaces the old datatypes.library V40.6 from CBM.

Features:
- Fully backwards compatible: The datatypes.library V45 has the same interface
  as V40/V39, old applications won't have problems with this update.
- Speed. The new datatypes.library is a little bit faster than the original. 
  On request, a 020-version wouuld be possible.
- Bug-Fixes: datatypes.library V45 fixes all bugs I knew about the 
  datatypes.library V40.6.
- Extended interface:
  The new datatypes.library introduces new features in the datatypes system:
  - Tools: You can define a set of tools for each datatype.
           A DT browser like "GMultiView" is able to present the list of 
           tools in a menu/dock/etc., and is able to launch them.

           For example, you're viewing a C source, you're able to launch CED 
           from the tools menu.

  - Image: The datatypes.library V45 includes the docs how to handle a 
           datatype like an image within applications and/or other subclasses.

  - Descriptor list: Applications are now able to access the datatypes global
           descriptor list in a system-friedly way.

  - AREXX interface: A backwards-compatible and extended interface

  Many other features have been added to make things using datatypes easier.

This commodity provide the use of datatypes to ALL software like
Deluxe Paint, Brilliance, etc...


  Thanks to Datatypes, an app can load files (eg. pictures), without
knowing the type of the file. It can load GIF, JPEG or PNG pictures
without specific code.

  But few commercial apps use this feature which comes with Workbench 3.0.

  It's the purpose goal of HappyDT: HappyDT acts just like a filter between
programms and pictures. When an app tries to load a picture saved in an unknown
type, HappyDT converts it in an temporary IFF file. In this way, the app acts
just as if it loaded an IFF pciture.
  In addition, if the picture is packed, HappyDT can unpack it with Xpk or Xfd.

will be moved to SYS:Storage/DataTypes.
