reqtools.library is a standard Amiga shared, runtime library. The purpose
of ReqTools is to make it a lot quicker and easier to build standard
requesters into your programs. ReqTools is designed with Commodore's style
guidelines in mind, all requesters have the look-and-feel of AmigaDOS
Release 2.

ReqTools features the following requesters: a query requester, a string
requester, a number requester, a file requester, a font requester, a
palette requester, a volume requester and a screenmode requester.

Also included are RTPatch (1.5) and RexxReqTools (1.3):

RTPatch is a small program that will re-route functions from most popular
requester libraries to ReqTools. Libraries currently supported are Arp, Req
and Asl. RTPatch will also patch some functions in Intuition to give you
improved system requesters.

RexxReqTools gives ARexx users easy access to a large family of requesters.
All requesters are easy to use; they require one or no arguments. But the
requesters also have a lot of power through several optional arguments and
through tagstrings. RexxReqTools itself doesn't implement any of these
requesters, it is a link between ARexx and ReqTools.


Release 2.7 (Library version 38.1434):

	German translation updated.

	The file requester produced enforcer hits when the user had
	selected some drawers in a no files requester with multiselect.

	Certain volumes in the file requester (e.g. network volumes) showed
	no information about size and amount used.

	Re-enabled the VREQF_ALLDISKS flag. Found a relatively nice way of
	doing it..

	My original intention for the 2.x ReqTools releases was to keep it
	pretty much the same way Nico did it. However, a guy named Brad
	Avery convinced me that the distribution archive needed some work.
	;) So, as a result you have this new and nice AmigaGuide file, a
	better installer script that allows you to install most user files,
	NewIcons etc.

	Reformatted the autodoc file, to a more "standard" look. It will
	now convert much better to AmigaGuide format by ADtoHT or similar.

	Added a "Fancy color wheel" option. Also changed the configuration
	for the color wheel a bit due to this. If enabled, the brightness
	slider will also be a bit fancier (if possible).

	A ClassAct version of the ReqTools preferences editor is know
	included. The ClassAct classes are not included, so you'll need to
	get them from somewhere else (ftp://ftp.warped.com/pub/classact is
	a good place). Note that the current solution for the requester
	height option isn't the best. I've been told a new ClassAct class
	is in the works, that will be better. Thus, I haven't put any large
	effort in it now. ;)

	Recompiled with SAS/C 6.57.
