Introduction
------------
MuiWheel is a complex patch to allow some classes
of the Magic User Interface to react correctly
to your mouse wheel movements. It includes
a MuiWheel.mcp class to set up the preferences.
If you don't have a wheeled mouse, this program
will not be usefull to you, if you don't
even know what a wheeled mouse is, go
to the LogiTech homepage, i'm sure you
will buy one soon. For more informations
download NewMouse or MouseWheel from Aminet.
Please READ this doc before using it.
The following classes will be patched:
- Cycle.mui
- Numeric.mui
- Scrollgroup.mui
- List.mui
- Prop.mui

Installation and Usage
----------------------
Warning: you're strongly advised to install a patch protection
utility like PatchControl or to not break MuiWheelPatch at all.
MuiWheelPatch will made some tests when breaked and repeats
them until they're all passed and the patches can
successfully be removed. Don't worry if it takes a while to exit.
Please note that MuiWheelPatch doesn't check if has been runned
twice, so don't do it! A check will be added in the next release.
The first step is to patch your old muimaster.library, otherwise
the Numeric.mui class will not be patched. If you don't need
this feature, you can skip this step. Numeric.mui will also not be patched
if MuiWheelPatch is breaked and then runned a second time.
Sorry.
How to patch your muimaster.library (V19.35)
a) Open a cli and enter the MuiWheel directoy.
b) Type spatch -omuimaster.library -pmuimaster.pch MUI:Libs/muimaster.library
c) Save your old MUI:Libs/muimaster.library and copy the new one in place.
Next step is to copy MuiWheelPatch in your C: directory
and add the relative call somewhere
in your s:startup-sequence, but BEFORE any other program
that uses MUI is launched.
Example:
...somewhere in your startup-sequence...
C:Run <>NIL: C:MuiWheelPatch
Now you should copy the given MuiWheel.mcp class
to MUI:Libs/mui/
Obviously you NEED a MouseWheel
compatible mouse driver, such as MouseWheel itself
or NewMouse (strongly raccomended :-) .
You're now ready to run. Reboot your system
and start mui:mui to set the preferences.
