- Fuji Desk! is free! It comes to you courtesy of Chet Walters for all
- the donations I've received for my ShareWare items (though not as many
- as I'd hoped). Give it, upload it, pass it around! The only
- requirement is that this text file accompany it and they both remain
- unmodified and in their present form.
-
- I won't tell you what it does, but stick in your AUTO folder and boot.
- It works in all three resolutions of any 520, 1040, or Mega ST. You can
- also run it from the desktop any old time. Here's some hints:
-
- FUJIDESK.PRG works best if run early in the AUTO folder. You can
- actually run it anywhere in your AUTO queue, but it will initialize
- faster if it's early. I have found that you should run it BEFORE
- HotWire! and UIS_II. Anywhere else is ok, though.
-
- If you run FUJIDESK.PRG a second (or third or fourth etc.) time, when
- it finds it's already been installed, it will let you SHOW or HIDE the
- current Fuji. The interrupt that makes it all work still remains
- active, it just skips the good stuff and returns to the system if it's
- off. The only way to physically remove it from memory is to reboot the
- machine..... but why would you want to? Fuji Desk is a nifty little
- ditty that only takes up about 8K and doesn't hurt a thing.
-
- Fuji Desk will only display itself on a standard GEM menu bar that
- conforms to the desktop. That means that there must be three spaces
- before the word "Desk" and the small 'e' must be the fifth character in
- the line. This means it works with NeoDesk since NeoDesk has a small
- 'e' and there's enough room next to the 'N'. But this means that it
- won't work with Word Perfect since WP uses a Fuji of its own for the
- menu bar. (Perhaps I shouldn't tell you this, but I used a sector
- editor to modify the WP.RSC file so that there are three spaces and the
- word 'Gem' replaces WP's Fuji. That works great. I'm watching that
- sucker spin its little heart out right now as I type this. I also did
- this to Tempus and moved the word in GENST2 over a space so it all
- works with those programs too. However, if you try this, you're on
- your own! Use backups of the files and don't blame me if it won't work
- for you. _____ :-{)
-
- Included here, if you can afford a slot and 3K of RAM, is FUJIMATE.ACC.
- Now, there are some cautions to using this accessory. It will only do
- you good if FUJIDESK.PRG runs from the AUTO folder BEFORE the
- accessories launch. It let's you turn Fuji Desk on or off at will.
-
- If you think Fuji Desk is messing up something for you, then shut it
- off. I think you'll find it's not Fuji Desk at all but something else.
- This little cutie is designed to be trouble free. I have not had a
- problem with it since I wrote the thing and it's been running for quite
- some time now.
-
- I did say it was free, but if you feel like sending in some bucks for
- it, you can help a poor starving ST programmer keep on working.

- ****** Update info ******
-
- 9/1/1989
-
- Well, sometimes ya get bored and ya just need to do something so a few
- days after I uploaded FUJIDESK for the first time, I figured I'd add
- a feature. Now the FUJIMATE accessory will allow you to speed up the
- spinner or slow down the spinner. Nice.
-
- By the way, don't mix the new FUJIDESK and the new FUJIMATE with the
- old ones or it's crash city! (Believe me! I know!) Here's the poop:
-
- OLD FUJIDESK.PRG 5329 bytes long
- OLD FUJIMATE.ACC 945 bytes long
-
- NEW FUJIDESK.PRG 5338 bytes long
- NEW FUJIMATE.ACC 1200 bytes long
-
- Well, so you say what's 300 bytes or so among friends. I tend to agree
- with you, but the ST gets a bit fussy about these things. Don't mix 'em
- and don't drink and drive either.
-
- And, hey! If I get some good response in this thing I might just make a
- FUJIEDIT which will let you put your own things up there. Ya got 24 bits
- by 16 bits to work with. Bigger than a mouse pointer! Gee, how about a
- smile face ... or a rotating globe (nawww... that's been done).
-
- While we're at it, here's some stuff that's available for a donation:
-
- >>>> Now for the advertisement section of this doc <<<<
-
- by Chet Walters....
-
- **** DOT MAGIC!
- Text file printer with 22 fonts and a font editor enclosed. Don't feel
- like booting up that DTP application for just a letter to Aunt Minnie
- in Minnesota? Well, print a pretty with Dot Magic! Comes with several
- utilities including one that lets you put those nice fonts on pics too!
-
- **** COMPACT DIR
- Directory dump with a twist. Uses the smallest font of an HP DeskJet
- or superscript on an Epson compat to fit more than 10 meg worth of
- filenames on one page for easy cross-referencing. Dump just one
- partition or the whole shebang!
-
- ***** EASY MOVE
- Tired of dragging those IMG files along with your GEM drawings from
- Easy Draw? Use Easy Move instead. This will copy or move GEM files
- searching through the file itself for any corresponding IMG files and
- will move them with it automatically. A must if you use Easy Draw.
-
- ***** PIC_LOG
- Geeezzz! You've got all these clip art disks full of Degas, Tiny and
- Neo pics but you can't remember what they are with those cryptic
- filenames. Well, if you have an HP DeskJet, HP LaserJet, and Epson 24
- pin compat or just a none pinner, then you can dump a nice catalog of
- an entire disk of pics for easy referencing. The HP drivers put 15
- full screens on one page! LQ's get 9 pics a page. It's easy!
-
- ***** PS to PM
- Got a huge library of 8 bit Print Shop icons gathering dust? If you
- have an ST and an 8 bit Atari, you can use this to transfer an entire
- Print Shop disk full of graphics from the 8 bit to a nice alphabetized
- PrintMaster file for use on the ST. You'll need a null modem to make
- the transfer complete.
-
- ***** CLIP_ART
- Got a thousand PrintMaster Graphics that you'd like to use elsewhere?
- This one will load up to 2000 PM icons from which you can view and
- select individuals to put on a Degas screen for easy access in other
- DTP applications. Mono version fits more than 40 on a screen for easy
- clipping. Color version slightly less.
-
- **** PM CAT
- Right, and what would you do with all those PrintMaster icons if you
- don't know what they look like? PM Cat is the answer. Prints 77 icons
- in each page complete with name and library. Works with Epson
- Compatible 9 pin or 14 pin printers.
-
- **** CHANGE EASELY
- Get tired of the same pic on your desktop when using Easel ST? Use
- this handy accessory to change it on the fly! Got a nice lady that
- you'd like to have peeking out from behind your windows but are afraid
- that you know who will get jealous? Well, put her there any time you
- want, and if you feel someone sneaking up behind you, you can change to
- that nice mountain scene in an instant. Requires Easel ST v1.10 to
- work.
-
- **** STITCH X
- Want to get that Computer Eyes shot of kids made into a cross stitch
- pattern? If you have an Epson FX compatible printer then you can do it
- with STITCH X. Load Tiny, Degas and Neo pics from which you can clip
- any portion to dump to the printer as a cross stitch pattern complete
- with color chart and symbols. If your clip won't fit on one page, then
- it gets tiled for you up to poster size suitable for framing. (lo rez
- only)
-
- **** BIG_MAC
- MAC format picture viewer. This is actually the only MAC pic slide
- show available for the ST! Scrolls the pics one after the other for
- you to see. Choose 'single' from the menu and you can load one at a
- time with the ability to save the visible scrollable screen to a Degas
- PI2 or PI3. Color or monochrome.

- ==== Program Menu
- Include up to 8 names of programs which you can run at the touch of a
- key or a simple mouse click. Stores complete path for harddrive owners
- and even looks on both floppies if you have two. Chaining of menus is
- easy so you can have an infinite number of things to run at a touch.
- Install one of these in each slot of the HotWire! menu and you'll have
- 416 available slots. Don't dig through those directories again! Great
- for those game disks!
-
- ==== MultiViewer Graphica
- This thing is like a mini Touch Up! It's that good! Loads IMG, PCX,
- PI?, PC?, TNY, NEO, and more! Saves in as many formats! Rotates,
- clips, edits, scrolls, flips, fat bits, skinny bits and much much more.
- This program is still growing and you'll want to get on Mr. Parks'
- mailing list for the updates. Monochrome only.
-
- ==== Shape Lib
- Now, for those PrintMaster fans comes finally a sorter organizer for
- all those icons! Choose any or many source files from which you can
- choose individual PM icons to move to a destination. Singly or by just
- tagging with a click several names from the list. Icons are in full
- view and it even accepts those 'odd' sized icons from the IBM version
- of NewsMaster!
