V3.1 code notes:- ----------------- - Fixed the input. Now I'm using a IDCMP loop, and thus it doesn't hog 98% of CPU when waiting for input. Now it should be proberly multitasking!! (in the input) - It frees the CLI (if run from there). Better for multitasking! - Status now works 100% on loading - Made it that the tool pack can be started in nearly every monitor mode - You can now use external text viewers for looking at the text (eg, so you can see the text reader output with MCP running (Note about the above 2. To get a menu of the extra functions, just add HELP in the program arguments to get the help screen.) - Fixed up the Sliders, so now they should kind of be proportional!!! - Made the Install To HD function work, so the program knows if it is run from HD or not Tell me if you have any problems with it. - Found a bug with the index, where if you use a external text viewer, sometimes, it sends the text viewer the crunched version of the index. So that is fixed now (hopefully). Additions:- (12-10-97) - This will only work now from HD (Hence the new focus of Devious Tools. And is only 2 files!! - Spare button on the page!!! (Any Ideas?) - ALL the files are encapsulated!!! (even unlzx!) - No need to have unlzx on your system, as it detects if you got it or not - New text reader (coded from scratch). (Many Thanks to King Guppy) Addition (31-10-97) - Added the Screen To Back Depth Gadget (Finally!) Devious Tools Installation to Hard Drive ---------------------------------------- As you may realise, this button will be totally useless!!!... So have you got any idea as to what this button can be used for instead??? If so, please tell me... S404 What do you want to do with the index?
