




       ReqChange is  a  program  that  makes  the system use ReqTools (








    Nico  Franois)  for  requesters.  The  ReqTools requesters are much








    nicer  to use (IMHO), and that is why I've written this program. The








    icon's  Tooltypes  contains  all  possible  arguments,  set  to  the








    default values. ReqChange works on both OS 2.04 and OS 1.2/1.3.  

















       A quick   installation   guide:   To   install   ReqChange,  copy








    ReqChange-Handler  to  L:  (or  have it in the "current directory"),








    and   run   the   program   (after  copying  apropriate  version  of








    reqtools.library  to  LIBS:.  The  Install  script  will do this for








    you).  If  you  have OS 2.0, a settings window will pop up, allowing








    you to adjust the settings. This should be quite straigt-forward.  

















       The Prefs  drawer  contains  the  preference  editor for ReqTools








    (this  program  is a part of the ReqTools distribution). It requires








    OS 2.0 to run.  

















       In the  drawer  named  Upd,  you  can find Upd, a "minimal player








    daemon",  which  is    1991 Jonas Petersson & Absolut Software (aka








    Sirius  Soft).  Upd  is  used  by  ReqChange  to get requesters with








    "sound   effects",   if  you  want.  Upd  is  "Freely  Distributable








    Copyrighted",  included  here  by  courtesy  of Jonas Petersson, the








    author.  

















       The Install  icon  will install some important files for you. You








    will  be  asked  for  every  item in question. ReqAsk and GetFile is








    used  to  interact  with the user. Since GetFile and ReqAsk requires








    OS  2.04  to  run, these programs will neither be used nor installed








    if  you  run  the script under OS 1.2/1.3. The script will therefore








    be somewhat primitive if you have OS 1.3.  

















       The Demo  icon  will  start a little script that tests the ReqAsk








    and  GetFile programs. It also serves as a good example on how these








    two  programs  work  (the Install.script is another example). It can








    also  be  used  as  a  test to see two of the changes that ReqChange








    does.  

















       The two  requester  programs  (ReqAsk  and GetFile) are placed in








    the  public  domain.  They  currently only operate under OS 2.04. Do








    whatever  you  want  with  them.  ReqChange  on  the other hand is

       Extra/GetEnv.Rexx is  an  example  script  on  how  to obtain the








    contents  of a global environment varible. This way it's possible to








    use  GetFile  and  ReqAsk  from  ARexx (you must use the GLOBAL flag








    with  ReqAsk  and  GetFile  for this).  Note that the example script








    should be called as a function, e.g.: "say getenv( kickstart )".  

















       In the   drawer   named   Extra  you  can  find  the  source  and








    documentation  for  GetFile  and ReqAsk, as well as linker libraries








    to  access  ReqTools from DICE (LibSrc.Lha). There you can also find








    SignalRC  (with  source),  which allows you to send break signals to








    ReqChange.
