Short: Patches for ToolsDaemon to work with OS 3.9 Author: Mikolaj Calusinski Version: 2.2 (45.000) Type: util/boot Requires: KS V37+, original ToolsDaemon 2.1a package Replaces: util/boot/ToolsDaemon22.lha Second edition. I forgot to include spatch program last time which is required to apply the patches. Some short installation notes has been added as well. These patches fix ToolsDaemon 2.1a, written by Nico François, to take advantage of V45 (OS 3.9) Workbench API. Users of older Workbenches may find this update interesting too as I fixed a couple of annoying bugs like wrong pen selection for menus on deeper screens, etc. You will need the original ToolsDaemon V2.1a files, which can be found on Aminet: util/boot/ToolsDaemon21a.lha. This patch is freeware. No warranties: it works for me but 'your mileage may vary'. ;-) ****************************************************************************** NOTE: For proper operation you have to patch ALL three files: toolsdaemon-handler, main ToolsDaemon exe and preferencres editor ToolsPrefs! Users of OS 3.5: be warned that ToolsDaemon 2.2 will NOT work under workbench.library V44, revision 1511 or higher (ie. BoingBag2/2a)!!! This is due to only partial support of new API in these revisions which is not sufficient for ToolsDaemon. You will need original workbench.library V44.1414 or V44.1479 from BoingBag1. Or - better - upgrade to OS 3.9. ****************************************************************************** ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Installation: 1. Unarchive this package to T: directory 2. Copy following three original ToolsDaemon 2.1a files: 'ToolsDaemon', 'ToolsDaemon-handler' and 'ToolsPrefs' to T: directory 3.

Copy files with '.new' suffix over originals: 'copy ToolsDaemon.new TO SYS:WBStartup/ToolsDaemon' 'copy ToolsDaemon-handler.new TO L:ToolsDaemon-handler' 'copy ToolsPrefs.new TO SYS:Prefs/ToolsPrefs' 5.
