Note: This is a true GEM!  We are now putting this program on everyone of
our disks.  It's main purpose is to let the user do an assignment statement
(see assign, Commodore Amiga Workbench 1.3 manual) directly within, the all
to familiar requester,  "Please Insert Volume FOO:". 
	If are planning to use a program with any great frequency, save
yourself some time and effort; instead of relying on this program, place
an "assign" statement into your s:startup-sequence.  Please refer to your
Commodore Amiga Workbench 1.3 manual for complete details on editing you
s:startup-sequence and using the "assign" command.
                              
                                   Thanks, DevWare



PIV			Version 1.0			13-March-1991

This little program replaces the familiar "Please Insert Volume FOO:"
requester with one that offers more options than just Retry or Cancel.
The replacement requester looks something like:

|System Request====================[][]|
|                                      |
| Volume foo                           |
| is not mounted.  You may:            |
|                                      |
|[RETRY ] after inserting the volume.  |
|                                      |
|[ASSIGN] the volume to [_____________]|
|                                      |
|[MOUNT ] the device.                  |
|                                      |
|[CANCEL] the operation.               |
+--------------------------------------+

The new ASSIGN and MOUNT buttons will run the CLI commands of the same
name, and a string gadget is provided for entering the directory to
be assigned.

As an added bonus, PIV keeps track of the last request that was cancelled,
so if a request for the same volume comes up immediately, PIV won't even
bother displaying the requester and will act like you just hit CANCEL
again.

INSTALLATION

Just run PIV from the CLI (or put it in your startup-sequence).  It will
automatically detach itself from your CLI.  To remove PIV, run it again.

NOTES

PIV is presently only useful under AmigaDOS 1.3.  (It won't crash under
2.0, but 2.0 uses a different system call for System Requests, so PIV
won't have any effect.)
