Requirements

 Prev Next

All files in the MailWatch package require AmigaOS v2.04 or higher. Additionally, some of the programs have further requirements, or will provide more functionality with the use of optional external libraries:

MailWatch
WBStart-Handler on OS 2.x systems, or wbstart.library on OS 3.x systems. (optional)

MailWatchPrefs
reqtools.library
button.gadget (included) (*)
tabs.gadget (included)

External modules
appicons.mwdf looks better with a NoIconBorder patch.
textreqs.mwdf requires reqtools.library.

(re: button.gadget)

 If you use ClassAct, the button.gadget from there will work fine with MailWatchPrefs, while the version of button.gadget included in the MailWatch distribution will not work with ClassAct. The ClassAct version of button.gadget, despite having a lower version number, is actually a more developed product which has preserved backwards compatability with the original Commodore product.

The Installer script for MailWatch takes this into account. It will attempt to determine if ClassAct's button.gadget is installed, and if it is found it will not be overwritten by the version included with MailWatch.

(I was unsure of the propriety of distributing ClassAct classes without being a registered ClassAct developer, so I instead chose to include the original Commodore button.gadget.)
