REQUIREMENTS
 Any Amiga® (compatible) computer with at least OS3.5 and
 68020+ cpu.


DESCRIPTION
 RAWBInfo is a replacement for the AmigaOS3.5 icon information.
 Unlike the original one, this one uses ReAction for the user
 interface.

 
STARTING THE PROGRAM
 The program can be started from shell as well as workbench. It
 currently takes the following arguments:
 
 SDT=SHORTDATETIME/S,AC=ALLCONTROLS/S,CENTERED/S,SIZEBBOTTOM/S,
 TOOLS/M
 
 SDT=SHORTDATETIME/S: this option tells RAWBInfo to use the
  short date and time format of the current locale. Enabling it
  makes the icon information windows a bit smaller.
 
 AC=ALLCONTROLS/S: if activated, RAWBInfo will show you additional
  gadgets to control the tooltypes TOOLPRI,STARTPRI,DONOTWAIT,WAIT,
  DONOTPROMPT,CLI and REXX (just like the original os3.5 icon in-
  formation does). This option will make all Tool and Project windows
  higher because of the additional gadgets.
  
 CENTERED/S: if set, information windows will be opened in the center
  of the screen.
 
 SIZEBBOTTOM/S: makes the bottom border of information windows as high
  as the sizing gadget.
  
 TOOLS/M: a list of default tools that are available when you click
  on the dropdown chooser (that's the button on the _right_ side of
  the default tool string gadget).
  Example: TOOLS="MultiView" "Installer"
 
 Once the program has been started it can be removed by either 
 sending CTRL-C to it, by the system tool Exchange or by starting
 it a second time.
 

USAGE
 Well, if you know how to use the original icon information, you'll
 know how to use this replacement ;) So, I will just mention the
 extras here:

 ° dropping an icon on the window will open another icon information
   window with information on the dropped icon.
   
 ° if you drop an icon on the tooltypes gadget, the program will replace
   the current tooltypes with the one the dropped icon has.
 
 ° the default tool of a project can also be changed by drag&drop.
 
 ° double-clicking the icon will open the workbench object.


INSTALLATION
 Simply use the supplied Installer script.
