ModePro also is a simple public screen manager. You can define public screens that automatically open and close as needed. ModePro determines which screens to promote via three lists: @{b}· Screen Names@{ub} - Lists screens by name that should be promoted. @{b}· Program Names@{ub} - Lists programs whose screens should be promoted. @{b}· Screen Modes@{ub} - Lists screen modes that sould be promoted. (see @{"Promotion List Gadgets" link list}) Each list can contain any number of promotion @{b}entry@{ub} names. When a program attempts to open a screen, ModePro will search the lists in the order above. If it finds an entry that matches the screen, ModePro will promote the screen using the options the entry specifies. ModePro allows you to use any AmigaDOS wildcards for the entry names. There is also a fourth list, @{b}· Public Screens@{ub} - List of public screens ModePro will manage. This is where ModePro keeps a list of Public Screens, when these public screens are requested by other programs, ModePro will open them, and when the public screen isn't needed anymore, ModePro will close it. Most of the options available to Promoted screens are available to Public screens. Also see @{"Creating a Public Screen Entry" link createpubscreens} ModePro can promote a screen's mode (or Display ID) 4 different ways: @{b}· Specify the Monitor Type@{ub} - In this case you can change for ex. an NTSC screenmode to PAL. @{b}· Specify the exact Screen Mode, and optionally Depth and Palette@{ub} @{b}· Have a ScreenMode requester pop up each time the screen is opened@{ub} @{b}· ModePro can open a screen that best suits your dimensions (Width, Height, Colors)@{ub} @{b}· Or ModePro can be told not to promote the screen mode at all.@{ub} - so you can use ModePro's other features. (see @{"Promotion Method & Dimension Gadgets" link method}) You can also specify these options for all promotion methods: @{b}· Autoscroll@{ub} @{b}· Center@{ub} @{b}· Interleaved screen bitmaps. (V39+)@{ub} @{b}· Force screens to be planar. (V39+)@{ub} (see @{"Option Gadgets" link options}) @{b}· The WB2+ 3D look for the windows and screen@{ub} (see @{"3-D Look Gadgets" link 3dlook}) @{b}· The screens font.@{ub} (see @{"Font Gadgets" link fontcont}) @{b}· Make the screen Public.@{ub} (see @{"Public Screen Gadgets" link pubcont}) @{b}· Create a screen to front HotKey.@{ub} (see @{"Screen Hot Key Gadgets" link scrhotkey}) @{b}· Shared screen pens. (V39+)@{ub} (see @{"Shared Pen Gadgets" link share}) ModePro has two global options: @{b}· NewLook Menus@{ub} - Makes all GadTools menus use the v39 "NewLook", typically black letters on white background, however this can be overriden using the 3D pen options. @{b}· Center Unknown Screens@{ub} - all non-promoted screens can be centered.

However, WB2.04 users will need version 38 of the asl.library. An installer script is provided. Before installation you may want to try to quit any older version of ModePro, if ModePro can not be quit, then you need to reset the computer after installing the new version. @{b}@{i}Note:@{plain} If you want to be able to promote the Workbench screen see @{"Promoting Workbench" link workbench} for installation info. @endnode @node uninstall "Uninstallation" @wordwrap @{jcenter}@{fg highlight}@{b}Uninstallation@{ub}@{fg text} @{jleft} Delete ModePro from sys:WBStartup or sys:Tool/Commodities Delete ModeProPrefs from sys:Prefs/ In the user-startup file remove references to ModePro.

Promotion List Cycle Gadget@{fg text} This gadget switches which promotion list is being displayed. There are four lists: @{b}· Screen Names@{ub} The Screen Names list contains screen titles, if a program opens a screen who's Title matches an entry in this list it is promoted. @{b}· Program Names@{ub} When a program in this list opens any screen, ModePro promotes the screen. @{b}· ScreenModes@{ub} When a screen is opened using a screen mode in the list, it is promoted. @{b}· Public Screens@{ub} If a public screen is requested that matches an entry in this list, ModePro will create that screen, closing it when neccesary. Also see @{"Creating a Public Screen Entry" link createpubscreens}. @{b}@{i}Note:@{ub}@{ui} If a screen that is to be opened matches entries in multiple lists, ModePro will seach the lists in this order Screen Names, Program Names, and then ScreenModes. @{fg highlight}2. Promotion List@{fg text} This list displays the entry names in the list selected by the above gadget. Click on an entry to edit the options for that entry. *Double click on an entry to disable or enable that entry, on WB3+ systems, the entry will appear ghosted when disabled. The name of an entry can contain wildcards, ModePro supports all @{"AmigaDOS wildcards" link wildcards}. When using wildcards remember that the lists are scanned in the order of Screen Names, Program Names, and ScreenModes, each list is scanned from top to bottom, so if "#?" is in the list no other entries below it will be checked. In v4.25 wildcard support was added for the ScreenModes list. Promoting screen modes using wildcards can be tricky if you are not familiar with the Amiga wildcard system. I have provided some examples to help: NTSC:#?Laced#? will match NTSC interlaced screens NTSC:~(#?laced#?) will match NTSC screens that are not interlaced. #?Laced#? will match any interlaced screens #?HAM#?LACED#? will match HAM screens that are interlaced. #?HAM~(#?LACED#?) will match HAM screens that are not interlaced @{fg highlight}3. Name Gadget@{fg text} This allows you to edit the selected name in the list. When this gadget is active, the @{b}Up@{ub} and @{b}Down@{ub} Cursor keys will allow you to select another item in the list gadget, pressing @{b}Shift@{ub} and either @{b}Up@{ub} or @{b}Down@{ub} will change the priority of the selected item. @{fg highlight}4. New Gadget@{fg text} Creates a new entry in the list @{fg highlight}5. Remove Gadget@{fg text} Removes the highlighted entry in the list @{fg highlight}6. Select Gadget@{fg text} This gadget will allow you to choose the name for the active entry from a list. The list will contain either all the open screen names, all of the programs name, a list of screenmodes that are currently available or any open public screens. The Screenmode list has an entry for each type of monitor that will promote all of the screenmodes of that monitor: ex. "NTSC:All". @{fg highlight}7.

Promotion Cycle Gadget@{fg text} This Gadget has the four following values: (When the Public Screens list is active, only the latter two options are available) @{b}· None@{plain} This option is useful in the case that you may not want the dimensions, screenmode, or overscan changed but would like a 3D or autoscrolling screen. @{b}· Monitor Type@{plain} This option promotes a screen to an equivalent resolution under another monitor type specified in the text gadget, therefore you can promote an NTSC screen to say...an equivalent EURO36 screen, making interlaced screens more bearable. ModePro @{b}· Screen Mode@{plain} When ModePro promotes a screen with this option it will promote it with the specific screen type listed in the text gadget. You may also set the width height and overscan of the screen but the number of colors will be taken from the program that requested the screen .Use the @{fg highlight}Select Screen Mode...@{fg text} gadget to select the screen mode of your choice. Also make sure the display mode can handle the number of colors the application program wants, forcing a program to open a 32 color hires screen on and Old Chip Set or Enhanced Chip Set machine will not work. If the selected screen mode no longer exists, common on multi-rtg systems, then ModePro will attempt to find a suitable replacement. @{b}· Requester@{plain} When ModePro promotes a screen with this option it will bring up a ScreenMode Requester for you to pick a screen mode. Use the @{fg highlight}Select Screen Mode...@{fg text} gadget to select the initial values of the screen mode requester when it opens. @{b}@{i}Notes:@{ui}@{ub} If you are using a non-AGA machine you may find that the list of screen modes has been limited, this may be a result of the program asking for a screen depth not available at higher resolutions. @{b}· Best Mode@{plain} This option allows you to specify the width, height, overscan and optionally the depth and monitor, and modePro will attempt pick the best Screen Mode. @{b}@{i}Warning:@{ui}@{ub} Some programs can't handle screen sizes other than what is coded into the program, some may work, some may crash, some may put garbage all over the screen. @{fg highlight}2.

Height Gadget@{fg text} This gadget allows you to specify a height using the last two promotion options. @{b}@{i}Notes:@{plain} Specifying -1 for either will cause the screen to be opened in that screenmodes standard Width or Height. Specifying 0 for either will cause the screen to be opened in the dimensions the programs specifies. @{fg highlight}7. Colors Check Box@{fg text} Allows you to specify the depth of the screen. In order to specify the number of colors, you must set the promotion method to 'Promote Screen Mode' or 'Use Screen Requester'. Also, this has no affect on HAM, HAM-8 or ExtraHalfBright screens or screens that use a custom(application supplied) bitmap. @{fg highlight}8. Colors Slider@{fg text} This gadget specifies the number of colors on the screen if the Color Check Box is checked, and/or, the number of colors in the palette if the Palette Check Box is checked. @{fg highlight}9. Palette Check Box@{fg text} If this is checked, ModePro will open the screen with a palette specified by you. The number of colors in the palette is indicated by the Colors Slider. @{fg highlight}10. Edit Palette Gadget@{fg text} When this gadget is clicked, ModeProPrefs will open a screen that contains the Palette Requester. No palette will be defined until you click the Ok Gadget in the requester at least once after the Palette Check Box has been checked for the first time on a particular entry in the promotion list. @{"Palette Requester" link preq} @endnode @node options "Option Gadgets" @wordwrap @{jcenter}@{b}@{fg highlight}Option Gadgets@{ub}@{fg text} @{fg highlight}1 @{fg text}[/] AutoScroll @{fg highlight}2 @{fg text}[/] Interleave @{fg highlight}3 @{fg text}[/] Behind @{fg highlight}4 @{fg text}[/] Blank Border @{fg highlight}5 @{fg text}[/] Force Planar @{fg highlight}6 @{fg text}Centering:[G|Both Directions] @{jleft} @{fg highlight}1.

This, along with the Public Screen option, will allow you to open programs like MultiView on these screens and allocate the pens for their use. @{fg highlight}2. Exclude Gadget@{fg text} This gadget tells ModePro to exclude certain pens from being shared. This is useful when, for example, if you have a program that expects certain pens to be certain colors. Without this option those pens could be modified without the program knowing, which could result in an oddly colored display. You can specify multiple pen numbers in the gadget by: @{b}· Separating each pen number by a comma or space or both ( 0,1,2,3 or 0 1 2 3 )@{ub} @{b}· Specifying a range of numbers using a dash '-' ( 0-3 )@{ub} @{b}· Or a combination of the two (example 0,1,2, 5-10, 12, 14, 16-18)@{ub} @{b}@{i}Note:@{plain} This gadget will only allow you to enter the characters '0' through '9', ' '(space), ','(comma) and '-'(dash).

The screen will not be closed until: @{b}· There are no windows open on the screen.@{ub} @{b}· The application that opened the screen has called the intuition.library function CloseScreen().@{ub} This lets ModePro know the the application is done with the screen, and that it can be safely closed. @{b}@{i}Note:@{ub}@{ui} You @{b}do not@{ub} need too close all of the 'visitor' windows before you quit the application that opened the screen. If you quit the application before all the visitor windows are closed, ModePro will close the screen as soon as all of the visitor windows are closed. In v4.30 the way screen titles are handled has changed, the original title is used until the application closes the screen, if the screen remains open because another program has opened a visitor window, a copy of the original title is used. Screens that ModePro cannot make public are those that: @{b}· Have their BitMap memory supplied to them by the application instead of allowing the OS to allocate the BitMap.

It then calls original function. @{u}OpenWindow & OpenWindowTagList@{uu} - To set the NewLook menu option and for the Public Screen Manager. @{u}LockPubScreen@{uu} - Patched for ModePro's Public Screen Manager. @{u}UnlockPubScreen@{uu} - Patched for ModePro's Public Screen Manager. Added 4.53 @{u}CloseWorkbench@{uu} - This had to be patch because this function calls CloseScreen() directly and not thru the LVO. These two were added in 4.46 but have been removed in 4.53 @{u}LockPubScreenList@{uu} - Adds ModePro's public screens to the system's Public Screen list, even when the screen isn't open. This allows applications that normally display a list of open Public Screens, to also display ModePro's as well. @{u}UnlockPubScreenList@{uu} - Cleans up mess created from above. @{b}gadtools.library@{ub} @{u}LayoutMenu@{uu} - patched to set the NewLook menu option. These patches can be safely removed as long as no other program patches the functions after this program does. If another program has patched over ModePro's patches, the ModePro will not allow you to quit. The code that removes these patches in 3.0, is considerably better than before, previous versions left themselves open for attack for a short period of time. @endnode @node address "Author" @{jcenter}@{b}@{fg highlight}Author@{ub}@{fg text} @{jleft} You may send money, suggestions, error reports, complaints and money to: Michael Rivers 4302 Wisconsin Court Tampa, FL, USA 33616 or via e-mail: mrivers@gte.net For current versions of MP, visit http://home1.gte.net/mrivers @endnode @node menus "Menus" @{jcenter}@{b}@{fg highlight}Menus@{ub}@{fg text} @{jleft} @{bg shine}Project @{bg background} Open...

However, ModePro has an option called "WBPROMOTABLE" that will allow you to use every option in ModePro on the Workbench screen, however I strongly discourage its use. ModePro @{"" link tooltypes} Options that can be set are: @{b}· AutoScroll. · Interleave · 3-D Pens · Screen Hotkey · Share and Exclude Pens · Palette · And that's it!@{ub} All of the other options will normally be ignored due to the side effects they can cause with Workbench, which could have included: @{b}· Interference with how the Workbench screen functions. · System deadlocks where screens & windows simply refuse to open. · Workbench failing to be promoted and opening in the normal mode. · Workbench refusing to open at all. · Or in the case of the Center option, simply not having enough information supplied by Workbench on how to adjust the display. @{ub} Fortunately, almost everything else is adjustable using the system Prefs. @endnode @node tips "Promotion Tips & Tricks" @{jcenter}@{b}@{fg highlight}Promotion Tips & Tricks@{ub}@{fg text} @{jleft} · @{b}Hot keys@{ub} - Set ModePro's CX_Priority higher than the FKey commodity (it is by default), and use the same key combo to start a program in FKey as you use to bring the screen to the front in ModePro. The first time you use the hot key, the program is run, afterwards ModePro will intercept the hot key and bring the screen to the front. · @{b}Imagine@{ub} - In the Screen Name list use "Imagine" to promote the main screen. (*Imagine is very flakey, it has refreshing problems in version 4 and below) To promote the render screens, use "Imagine#?" in the program list. If your using HAM render screens, make sure you promote to HAM capable monitors, gfx-card users should use normal modes for their quickrenders, (ie 256 colors), Use "Monitor" promotion if you frequently change quickrender screen modes. · @{b}VistaPro@{ub} - VP examines the Workbench screen and crashes if Workbech is a non-native screen mode. 1. Edit the binary of VP, find the word "Workbench", change it to "Fakebench", this tricks VP examining "Fakebench" instead of "Workbench" 2. Open ModePro, add an entry in the "Public Screens" list called "FakeBench", set Promotion: to "Screen Mode", select a native Amiga screen mode like MultiScan, PAL or NTSC - This will be the screen mode VP opens @{b}It must be a Native screen mode@{ub}. 3. If you use ModePro's "Ask about unknown screens" option, also add to the "Program Names" list an entry called "VistaPro#?", with Promotion set to "None". · If you don't want ModePro running all the time, but have programs that need to be promoted, you can create a script to run ModePro, launch your app and then quit ModePro. Run ModePro QUIET ; QUIET = no requesters! ...execute app... ModePro QUIT QUIET ; QUIET = no requesters! QUIET is used so that ModePro will not display any requesters or open it's GUI. Note: ModePro may not always quit, if ModePro's patches are patched over, or if the promoted screen remains open, ModePro will continue to run. @endnode @node createpubscreens "Creating a Public Screen Entry" @wordwrap @{jcenter}@{b}@{fg highlight}Creating a Public Screen Entry@{ub}@{fg text} @{jleft} Many programs support opening on public screens, however the OS provides no way for the average user to open these public screens.

Set the @{b}Promotion@{ub} gadget to @{b}Screenmode@{ub} or @{b}Requester@{ub}, set the other options as you see fit, however the @{b}Make Public@{ub} options will be disabled because ModePro already knows this is a public screen. Also, using wild cards, you can define a generic public screen. For instance if you set the Name to "Public#?", you could then tell different applications to use "Public 1" or "Public 2" or Public Cow". Each seperate name will open a seperate screen, but each will use the options specified for "Public#?" (Am I making any sense?)

For example, if you add an entry or few, select the last entry, hit cancel, and reopen ModeProPrefs, it assumed that there would be as many entries as there were before, and would either disable most of the interface, or display garbage. @{b}4.41 (3/21/98)@{ub} · Added ability to disable entries by double clicking on them, on WB3+ systems the Entry name will be ghosted, however, on WB2.X system, the entry name will look the same, but the option gadgets will be disabled. @{b}4.40 (3/18/98)@{ub} · Backdrop File Requester now remebers where files came from. · Fixed some spelling errors. @{b}4.39 (1/30/98)@{ub} · Update to Spanish and Swedish catalogs. @{b}4.39 (12/28/97)@{ub} · True color backdrops now work on true color screens.

Now ModePro will not center screens when the overscan settings don't make sense. · Spanish catalogs, Thanks to Dámaso D. Estévez! · Minor change in the way screen hotkeys are delt with internally. · More therapy for centering code. Uses intuition/QueryOverscan() to get dimensions now. @{b}4.34 (8/30/97)@{ub} · While ModeProPrefs opens it's windows, the "Ask Unknown ..." options are temporarily disabled, as soon as the prefs window is opened the settings are restored. This is to prevent a deadlock from occuring in case ModeProPrefs has to open it's own screen, or opens on a non-existing public screen. · ModePro's exit code didn't check to see if the CloseWorkbench() patch was safe to remove. · Tweaked the screen centering code. @{b}4.33 (7/20/97)@{ub} · For WB3.x Users, ModePro now uses the Palette Preference settings for "4 Color" screens for the Default 3-D Look. @{b}4.32 (7/20/97)@{ub} · ModePro exit code added check to see if anyone is still inside the patch code. · ModeProPrefs could quit before ModePro returned all the messages MPPrefs sent. This could cause random crashes when ModePro finally did return the messages. Most notably when you selected the old Quit menu item (Now "Quit ModePro"). · Crash after the @{"Unknown Screen Requester" link menus} is hopefully gone. · Also if ModeProPrefs can't be started after answering the Unknown Screen Requester, ModePro will time out, and not promote the screen. · Changed Hide menu item to "Quit" and "Quit" menu item to "Quit ModePro", to be more consistent with system preferences. · Default HotKey changed from "lcommand p" to "lamiga p", which is the samething. @{b}4.31 (6/15/97)@{ub} · Added @{"Sort List" link menus} option to Edit Menu. · Reworked the way screen titles are handled when an entry has the Make Public option selected.

This should give better results when promoting to graphics cards. · Keyboard equivalents for gadgets. · Force Planar display option. · Fixed error in determining where a screen should be centered to. · If MPPrefs has to open a screen for itself to open on, it now uses either the default system font or the user specified font for the screen instead of Topaz 8. · ModePro has new command line and tooltype options to center all screens that it does not promote. @{b}4.6@{ub} beta version · Palette Promotion added. · Pressing a screen hotkey will activate a window on that screen. · Screen Promotion will can promote all the screenmodes of a particular monitor. · Starting ModeProPrefs from the cli or via the PrefsCommand option of ModePro with no parameters on the command line will cause the prefs editor to use the icon tooltypes as options. · Setting the Width & Height gadgets to 0 will cause a promoted screen to open in the dimesions the application specifies. · The Center screen option has been expanded to allow horizontal only, verticle only or centering on both directions. · Replaced the Pen Name display and Font display gadgets with my own functions, which look better @{b}4.5 (11//95)@{ub} debug version. · This version of ModePro has a Debug option. · Fixed a bug in the Locale support, basically wasn't allocating the appropriate amount of ram for the word "New" in the promotion list. Was allocating enough for a 9 letter word, which was fine for "New", but not fine if the translation of "New" was longer than nine letters. · Added promotion by ScreenMode. Easy to implement in the patch, but a pain in the ass to implement in the prefs editor. · Added the Select button to allow you to choose from a list of names or screenmodes for an entry in the promotion list. · There was a major hole when promoting Workbench. If the Workbench screen was closed, and not reopened(an option in many paint programs to save ram), ModePro would have problems: If a HotKey was assigned to the Workbench screen and the HotKey was pressed, if the hotkey to bring up the Preferences program was pressed, and probably some other things as well. · Minor interface changes: Changed order of the @{"Promotion List Cycle Gadget" link list} to reflect the priority of the lists. Wrote my own code to display the number of colors for the @{"Color Slider Gadget" link method}. The original GadTools code was totally unsatisfactory, esp on WB2.X. @{b}4.1 (9/18/95)@{ub} · Fixed a bug with the OpenWindow patches, which interfered with programs that used the original OpenWindow() function and used the extended ExtNewWindow structure.

Which would sometimes cause 2 of the above enforcer hits · Fixed the labels in the Overscan gadget, Extreme and Maximum were in the wrong order. · Changed default value of CX_POPUP to YES to be more consistent with the rest of the system commodities. · Now uses ReadArgs() to parse CLI parameters. · Screen to front HotKeys. · Cleanup of code for Loading & Saving Prefs. @{b}3.5 (6/8/95)@{ub} · Squashed more bugs. · Overhaul of interface code. · Added ability to set the interface font. @{"More info" link tooltypes} · Support for WB3+ pen sharing. · Added ability to set screen depth. · Now supports _all_ AmigaDos wild cards. @{"More info" link list} · Now frees memory, if allocated, for the File, Font and ScreenMode requester when ModePro's window is closed, previously the memory was not freed until ModePro was quit. @(b)3.2 (4/15/95)@(ub) · Fixed bug in file saver where info relating to the Font was saved even when it should not have been(Font modes 'Program' & 'System') this had a side effect of messing up the Public options if the Font mode was 'Program' or 'System'. @(b)3.1 (4/02/95) · Fixed minor glitch with the Public Name string gadget. @{b}(3/30/95)@{ub} · ModePro is 1 year old :) @{b}3.0 (3/21/95)@{ub} · Fixed a major bug(from v2.5) with the Specify font option, which would cause the font to change on the promoted screens if another promoted screen was opened with Specify font option and the two fonts were different. · Added another system patch to CloseScreen(), this was required to fix the font bug, and for the new public screen management. · New Font sensitive interface which also required some reworking of the interface: "HighlightText:" in the pen list is now "High Text:" "Use Screen Mode Requester" is now "Use Screen Requester" · MP will again try to promote LikeWorkbench screens. · If MP fails at promoting a screen, MP will make a second attempt to open the screen without promotion. · MP will *not* promote the Workbench screen. · Most screens can now be made public. This was more work than I thought it would be :^) See @{"Public Options" link pubcont}. · When the 'Catch' menus are enabled, newly caught items are added to the top of the list.(2.8 added to the bottom). This was done to make things cleaner and to get rid of some redundant code. @{b}2.8 (2/20/95)@{ub} · Fixed a few minor discrepancies. · ModePro no longer promotes screens that use the @{"LikeWorkbench" link likewb} option. · Now when a program is run for the shell of cli, the actual program's name and not "Shell Process" is added added to the Program List if the "Catch Programs Name" menu is selected. · Previously, when a program opened a nameless screen, the screen wouldn't match with the "#?" wildcard, now it will. · Added "" keyword for the screen promotion list. See @{"Promotion List" link list}. · The patch has been updated to use less stack. (about 200 bytes less) · Fixed a serious bug with the file & font requesters, caused by opening and closing the requester, then closing and reopening ModePro's window, and then reopening the requester. · ModePro can no longer be forced to quit if another program has patched over the same library functions ModePro has. This is for your safety :^). · When the 'Catch' menus are enabled, newly caught items are now added to the bottom of the list. This was done to simply window updates. · The pen 'Highlight Text' has the space removed because under 2.X the 'H' was being truncated. · Screen mode requesters now list all modes available under 2.X. · Basic mop-up of bugs introduced in v2.6 @{b}2.6 (12/14/94)@{ub} · The stack size specified in the v2.5 icon's information was to small, this caused ModePro to crash when the window was opened. · Options not available in WB2.X will be ghosted when run under WB2.x. · Fixed the preference file loader, if a file was saved under WB 2.X would not load the font information correctly under 3.X and vise-versa. @{b}2.5 (11/26/94)@{ub} Added the ability to: · Specify the font, · Have screens Interleaved(V39+ only) · And have screens centered when they open. · Under V39+ ModePro can force windows to open so that there menus use the new look(black on white), only works on GadTools menus. @{b}2.3 (10/17/94)@{ub} · Bug fix. The string gadget below the list was always displaying the first item in the list, but it happened on WB2.04 and probably WB2.1, and not WB3.1 @{b}2.2 (10/08/94)@{ub} · Did something, but I forgot:) @{b}2.1 (8/03/94)@{ub} · Bug fix: Forgot to free ASL file requester memory when ModePro was quit. · More code cleaning. @{b}2.0 (7/07/94)@{ub} · New features: user selectable pens for 3-d look commodity hotkey support added.(finally) · Bug fix: File requester now works correctly.

If you find a bug that causes the system to be unstable... Run Sushi (or a similar program) to display the output from ModePro. Then run Enforcer or CyberGuard using the RAWIO option. Then Turn on ModePro's debug option by typing "ModeProPrefs DEBUG=Y USE" at the shell. The reason for using RAWIO with Enforcer and CyberGuard is so that there output will be displayed with ModePro's in the same window, and in the proper order. Also execute the SysReport.rx rexx script (in the Docs drawer), this script will gather some info about your system, which may help me determine if another program is affecting a problem. @wordwrap @endnode @node dist "Distribution" @wordwrap @{jcenter} @{fg highlight}@{b}Distribution@{ub}@{fg text} @{jleft} ModePro is @{b}@{fg highlight}DonationWare@{fg text}@{plain}.
