                          Poo By Gareth Murfin
                          --------------------
        
  Poo is a brand new tool for your C: directory which is similar to 'Version' which
  was free with all versions of Workbench. As with Version you can get extra info
  about many programs by running it.

  When coding different utilities and games I always thought that the version response
  was a bit too short and precise. For instance if you're lucky you'll get the name of
  the author and its version, ie v1.4. But I wanted to put more information into my
  programs, I wanted to put in a brief sentance which described the 'slogan' of the
  utility or game. Poo was born.

  By using Poo you can can get extra information from utilities and games, but they
  MUST support the $POO command. Unfortunately no existing programs support it yet
  except for some of my programs (look at the list of support programs in this doc)
  but I'm hoping that people may begin to support it. All the programs I make from
  now on will support the $POO command. I ask anyone who has bothered to investigate
  this to put the $POO command in their next program or game. Its quite simple, do
  exactly as you would to add a Version response but substitute $VER for $POO. Simple
  as that! I'm not suggesting that $POO should replace $VER, oh no, they are designed
  to work together, a bit like CTCP VERSION & CTCP USERINFO on IRC.

  If you add a $POO into your program I would like you to eMail me so that I can add
  it to the list of programs currently supporting $POO. I would also like you to
  mention somewhere in the documents that $POO & Poo are (c) Gareth Murfin. My eMail
  address is gazy@globalnet.co.uk

  Thanks alot, go and update all your programs to support $POO! :)))

  Poo is freeware, do with it what you will...

  Stick Poo in C: and in a Shell type this :
