This material was submitted to me on disk directly by the author, Jim
Barber, for inclusion in the library. Thanks Jim!
I have made the following changes from Jim's distribution, for the reasons
noted:
(1) The original distribution used (and included) it's own
copy of the "less" program to display text files. I've
substituted the "MuchMore" program and changed the icons
accordingly, to maintain my current standard with MuchMore
as the text display program of choice.
(2) The original distribution used an executable file whose
name was one character with the hex value "0xA0", with
a corresponding icon. This did not appear to be part of
any sort of copy-protection scheme (which would be silly
for a shareware program anyway), but more a desire to
provide a name that would be "invisible" to workbench.
Unfortunately, many of the tools that manipulate the
contents of my library do not handle such names gracefully,
including possibly such tools as dirmaster, brik, aquarium,
etc, though I did not go through each tool and verify
this. The awkwardness of having files with unusual names
seemed to outweigh the slight visual advantage of not
displaying a name on the workbench, so I have changed the
executable and icon files to be "Landing" and "Landing.info"
respectively.
