Here is a description of what all the files within the !PlaceIt directory are
for. If installing the program you do not need install the Sources or Docs
directories (or !Help for that matter) but if you want to give PlaceIt to
someone else then you will have to keep all the files. Quite a few people
appreciate having the source anyway and it makes my life easier if people
send in code for bug fixes.
The files are within separate directories within the PlaceIt directory to
make identifying them easier.
Within the main directory there are the following files
!Boot boot file for Place It, innoculated against the Extend virus
!Help help file describing Place It, includes disclaimer and
copyright. IMPORTANT TO READ
!Run start up file
!RunImage main program, innoculated against the Hypothermic virus
!Sprites desktop sprites
and these directories
Config directory containing the configuration files. This should be
empty when you receive Place It
Docs directory containing extra documentation (see later)
Extensions directory containing any extensions modules (see later)
Resources directory containing the resources (see later)
Source directory containing the source (see later)
Updater directory containing the programs to update a config file
Within the Config directory there may be
!Config configuration file for Place It
!OldConfig backup version of configuration file made while updating the
configuration file. Not deleted incase of problems with the
update
Background file containing sprite to display behind the icons, if present
Within the Docs directory there is
!Charity where to send money to
Extensions describes how to install extensions and what the currently
approved ones are
History history of Place It describing bug fixes, enhancements and
new features
WriteExtns extensive documentation on how to write extension modules
Within the Extensions directory there is
Autoload Informs Place It which modules to load, this file should not
exist when you receive Place It
FNadrxx library of routines to provide out of range adr's
PROCExtnVS library which defines several variables essential when
writing extension modules
There will also be directories containing extension modules. These are likely
to contain a subset of
!ReadMe a help file which you should read
!Sprites a sprite which gets merged into the sprite pool when the
module is initialised
Config a configuration file, this file should not exist when you
receive Place It

Messages message file, would anyone translating this into a foreign

Sprites sprite used in load background window. Merged into !RunImage
during assembly so is not needed as part of application

Updater and !ConfigChk so must be keep in directory
