                           ================


PURPOSE

   This archive contains the latest 8 include files for MUIbase's
   programming language.  They can be used for nearly every purpose
   within MUIbase.

   This package is eMailware, which means, that if you like this piece
   of software, you have to write me an eMail (address see end of
   readme).



HISTORY

   v1.1:
   - added some functions

   v1.0:
   - public release



INSTALL

   Unpack the archive to MUIBASE: using

      lha x mb_rrfuncs.lha MUIBASE:



REQUIREMENTS

   - OS 3.0 and higher
   - a registered version of MUIbase 1.3 or higher



USAGE

   You have to bind in the include files with a #include call.  Due to
   speed reasons, you should embed the #include in a #ifndef
   expression like this:

      #ifndef RR_GENERAL_MBI
      #include "MUIbase:include/rr_general.mbi"
      #endif

   I recommend always to include the rr_general.mbi. This file contain
   a lot of simplified keywords. For example you can use

      FUNCTION callMe(parameter)
         ...
      END

   to show a function instead of the standard MUIbase function
   definition:

      (DEFUN* callMe(parameter)
         ...
      )

   You can also use keywords for a more readable MUIbase program, e.g.
   like this

      (IF (NULL Table.Attribute) THEN (msg "I am empty!") ELSE (msg Table.Attribute))

   The 'THEN' and 'ELSE' helps separating the three expressions of an
   (IF) clause, but have no functionality. By the way (msg) is a
   simple function defined in rr_general.mbi for showing an easy
   information requester.

   Have a look to the include files, how MUIbase works and feel free
   to use the functions.

   Suggestions and bug reports are welcome.

   At the moment there is no documentation for the various functions.
   Maybe later ...
