- MultiUtils
- ----------
-
- Lots of utility programs (what? another bunch of [blooming] utility programs.
- Hah! I've already got 50Mb of them on my hard disc. My memory is filled with
- the [dratted] things. I can't load impression any more. Why have you inflicted
- more on me...)
-
- Ahem. Lots of utility programs with a unique feature... They are not tied to
- the icon bar like your average utility but can be stuck on the backdrop where
- they are much more convienient, allow you to load in lots more utilities without
- having to buy a 48in monitor, 16Mb of VRAM and panoramic glasses in order to
- fit them all on. They are also written as (fairly) small modules so that you
- can fill your memory up with more useful things (ie games).
-
- They fit into the élite band of programs that the author actually uses on a
- regular basis without swearing about bugs under his breath, AND have been
- pretty comprehensively bug tested, as I've been using them for about a year
- now and I do not lose sleep over wondering if I might lose data to them.
-
- Also in this band of programs are... !QTM, Hiper Help, Prettify and er,
- that's it (I should point out here that these are the programs I wrote myself,
- because I wouldn't have very much of a life if all I did was use !QTM, Hiper
- Help and Prettify...)
-
- Anyway, to use, run. The function of most of the utilities should be reasonably
- obvious, but there is a fuller manual in Hiper-text format for the curious.
- Note that you can drag the programs off the icon bar. Amazing, eh?
-
- If you get an error saying that the pinboard application hasn't started up when
- it obviously HAS, then you need to configure PinPatch to use your pinboard
- program. By default, MultiUtils should be set up to work with !BD (supplied)
-
- The configuration program is accessed by ALT-double clicking the !MultiUtils
- icon.
