C) I wanted to learn more about Arexx. - Created and tested with: AMIGA 4040 - 4MB fastram 32 bits - 2MB chipmem 32 bits - KickStart3.0 - SyQuest 105SCSI - and other expensive hardware. - To contact me for reporting BUGS or something else: @{b}The Cylons@{ub} at the HANGLOOSE BBS in Holland node one; +31-454-291-54 node two; +31-454-251-69 node three; +31-454-ELITE!! @endnode @node Information " Short Information " Short Information: - This program( Semi Dopus.Module ) shows you information about a selected file and then it lets you perform actions on this file (LHA,DMS,READ,EXECUTE,DELETE). @endnode @node Installation " Installation " You must have: REXXREQTOOLS.LIBRARY (Included in archive) in Libs: REQTOOLS.LIBRARY (Included) AREXX (the program) (Not included) Kickstart 2.04 + (Not included) DOPUS (Not included) FileShowData (Included) FileShowRAD (Included) (DMS,LHA) (Not included) To Install: Assign REXX: Assign RENE: Assign UTIL: FileShowData to REXX: FileShowV2.0 to REXX: FileShowRAD to REXX: Configopus to RAM:T Make a Button/Menu in Dopus ( Use Paste ) For RexxReqTools to be able to work you'll also need to have the @{"rexxsyslib.library" link rexxsyslib_library} and @{"reqtools.library" link reqtools_library} installed in LIBS:. As of release 1.1 RexxReqTools needs Kickstart 2.04 or higher! RexxReqTools now also needs the @{"diskfont.library" link rexxsyslib_library}, this library should already be installed in your LIBS: directory. You should also have the @{"RexxSupport.library" link rexxsyslib_library} installled. Thats all and that's that! @endnode @node Credits " Credits " CREDITS My thanks must go to..

You can make this datafile with a program called FileListMaker(from the same publisher). -Select a File in Dopus (from either window). Now press the Button or Menu which you made in Dopus. The program starts thinking and presents you with two windows on the Dopus.screen. One window only contains information and the other has four Gadgets which you can click. -The four Buttons are: 1-NOP - Don't do anything 2-COPY -> Window - COPY file to Assigned UTIL: dir -> Window - COPY file to Assigned RENE: dir -> Window - MOVE file to Assigned UTIL: dir -> Window - MOVE file to Assigned RENE: dir -> Window - Don't do anything 3-DMS -> Window - DMS to DF0: -> Window - DMS to RAD: (Automounts RAD:) -> Window - DMS to DF1: -> Window - DMS to DF2: -> Window - Don't do anything 3-LHA -> Window - LHA to RAM: -> Window - Don't do anything 3-LZH -> Window - LZH to RAM: -> Window - Don't do anything 3-Other -> Window - Read the file -> Window - Execute the file -> Window - Don't do anything 4-DELETE -> Window - DELETE the file -> Window - NOP Don't do anything TO TEST -Go into DOPUS -Goto DIR with the File FileShow.LHA -Select FileShow.LHA -Now press your newly made Button/Menu in DOPUS -Wait a few seconds(go get a beer) -Two windows should be opening by now -Now You can Delete the File / Copy it / Extract it to RAM: or do Nothing @endnode @node Version " Version info " Version info: - (31-04-94) FileShow Version2.0 - FileShowV2.0 size: 7839 bytes - FileShowRAD size: 556 bytes @endnode @node Update "Update Info" What's new and what's not in version 2.0: - Version string added to FileShow and FileShow.guide. - Fixed directories and files with space. - Changed the Dopus Button configuration to allow for multiple selection. This means that you can select as many files as you wish instead of only one. - FileShow works faster now than before. But when used in conjunction with FileListMaker it will speed up to 10 to 20 times the previous speed. - The installer is now fixed to install from RAM: - It Rescans directories only when neccessary (which is a lot less than before). - Futhermore does it become the active front window fewer times than in the old version. - FileShow now only works from within DOPUS. If you use it from within CLI you will be surprised. - Even a lot faster through the RexxOpt. Disadvantage -> You can't edit the rexx-script! So if you need the assigned RENE: or UTIL: changed into another gimme a call and I'll see what I can do for you. @endnode @node rexxsyslib_library "About the library's" @{b}rexxsyslib.library@{ub} is the heart of ARexx. You should have this file installed in you LIBS: directory (if the installation hasn't already been done by the Commodore Workbench installation script). You can find @{b}rexxsyslib.library@{ub} on a Workbench 2.0 (or higher) disk. The same rules apply to the @{b}rexxsupport.library@{ub} & @{b}diskfont.library@{ub}. @endnode @node reqtools_library "About reqtools.library" @{b}reqtools.library@{ub} is the heart of RexxReqTools. You should copy this file to your LIBS: directory. @endnode
