Short: Multi Function Commodity Author: m_berndt@wanderer.gun.de (Martin Berndt) Uploader: t.esser@darkness.gun.de (Thomas Esser) Type: util/cdity ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MultiCX 1.60 (19.3.95) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MultiCX is the smallest Multi-Function-Commodity for the Amiga, thought as a replacement for many larger and sometimes badly programmed programs. It is a 100% pure commodity, which means that it does not use any patches (SetFunction), no interrupts and no special input handlers. So it can safely be disabled or removed at any time. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ History ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1.00 - 1.20 internal Beta releases 1.21 first public release 1.22 - Keyboard Mouse works with SUNKEY now - SCRBLANK uses Standard Monitor now if BestModeID could not find a valid ScreenMode 1.23 - improved MOUSESHIFT and MMBCYCLE, see details above 1.24 - removed little bug in new MMBCYCLE 1.25 - improved SCRBLANK under AmigaOS 2.x 1.30 - Signal/Message system completely rewritten to prevent deadlock situations - improved WINREMEMBER - created seperate version for OS 3.x only with reduced code overhead 1.31 - improved WINCYCLE and SUN-functions 1.32 - improved Signal/Message system and asynchronous design - improved documentation (Special thanks go to John C. Davis for his help) 1.33 - removed some more deadlock candidates 1.34 - removed a small message handling bug 1.35 - fixed stupid bug in WINCYCLE (I hate those typos...) 1.36 - fixed problem in WINREMEMBER which could cause Enforcer hits under some very special conditions 1.37 - improved AutoRepeat behaviour 1.40 - Exchange's "Show Interface" or HandleCX's "POPUP" will open WB Icons/Information now (OS 3.x only!) - fixed bug in SCRBLANK 1.41 - implemented CX_POPKEY feature (OS 3.x only!) - MultiCX opens WBInfo now if it is already running and started again (OS 3.x only!) 1.42 - POPCLI Shell gets full path now (what a bad hack...;-) - SCRBLANK, WINCYCLE, ACCELERATION and THRESHOLD no longer accept negative values 1.45 - improved handling of windows with active menu - implemented timeout for re-blanking of screen - screen will be unblanked when disk is inserted - Mouse Blanker is more compatible to (bad) graphics boards now - implemented POPCLISTACK ToolType - MMBCYCLE changed to SCRCYCLE, see details above - improved MOUSESHIFT, see details above 1.46 - deselecting an icon now works with MOUSESHIFT=MMB, just keep LButton pressed while releasing MButton for a short while 1.47 - Mouse Blanker changed back to old routine, because some gfx board drivers seem to have even more problems with ss_height > 0 - implemented HOTBLANK and LIKEWB features 1.48 - improved ENTERASCII slightly 1.49 - improved SCRCYCLE, MOUSESHIFT and ENTERASCII - some code optimizations 1.50 - some very small bugs fixed - overall code improvements 1.51 - implemented MOIRE Screen Blanker and some ToolTypes, see details above 1.52 - implemented Color Cycling for MOIRE Blanker - implemented SCRMODE ToolType - HOTBLANK works always now, even if SCRBLANK is 0 1.53 - implemented CSPEED ToolType for Moire Blanker 1.54 - Blanker timer was not cleared on Enable/Disable 1.55 - LINES=1 or TRAIL=1 waked up the guru... - improved Amiga-is-busy blanking - improved CAPSHIFT to handle foreign characters (ALT) - ENTERASCII now uses RALT only, this should prevent problems with other software using ALT-NUMKEYs 1.56 - CX_POPKEY now brings Workbench screen to front before opening WBInfo - implemented Window Cycling via hotkeys, new ToolTypes are FRONT2BACK and BACK2FRONT 1.57 - Mouse was not always blanked with HOTBLANK 1.58 - Arghhhh... Mouse blanking still was not 100% ok, but now it is! - some code optimizations 1.59 - fixed some problems with BMB ScreenCycling 1.60 - implemented NOCAPSLOCK - included new version of HandleCX ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 2315 2315 0.0% 19-Mar-95 01:21:58 HCX13.lha 7060 4834 31.5% 19-Mar-95 12:26:44 MultiCX 15378 5604 63.5% 19-Mar-95 12:31:56 MultiCX.doc 477 246 48.4% 20-May-94 10:01:04 MultiCX.doc.info 1271 655 48.4% 19-Mar-95 00:47:36 MultiCX.info 6860 4712 31.3% 19-Mar-95 12:24:04 MultiCX_OS3 1271 655 48.4% 19-Mar-95 00:47:36 MultiCX_OS3.info -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 34632 19021 45.0% 21-Mar-95 14:53:26 7 files
