COPYRIGHT AND DISCLAIMER
RAWBInfo is copyrighted 1999 by Stephan Rupprecht.
All rights reserved. This program is freeware, so no financial
donations required. Redistribution allowed if the package is

REQUIREMENTS
Any Amiga® (compatible) computer with at least OS3.5 and
68020+ cpu.
DESCRIPTION
RAWBInfo is a replacement for the AmigaOS3.5 icon information.
Unlike the original one, this one uses ReAction for the user
interface.
STARTING THE PROGRAM
The program can be started from shell as well as workbench. It
currently takes the following arguments:
SDT=SHORTDATETIME/S,AC=ALLCONTROLS/S
SDT=SHORTDATETIME/S: this option tells RAWBInfo to use the
short date and time format of the current locale. Enabling it
makes the icon information windows a bit smaller.
AC=ALLCONTROLS/S: if activated, RAWBInfo will show you additional
gadgets to control the tooltypes TOOLPRI,STARTPRI,DONOTWAIT,WAIT,
DONOTPROMPT,CLI and REXX (just like the original os3.5 icon in-
formation does). This option will make all Tool and Project windows
higher because of the additional gadgets.
Once the program has been started it can be removed by either
sending CTRL-C to it, by the system tool Exchange or by starting
it a second time.
USAGE
Well, if you know how to use the original icon information, you'll
know how to use this replacement ;) So, I will just mention the
extras here:
° dropping an icon on the window will open another icon information
window with information on the dropped icon.
° if you drop an icon on the tooltypes gadget, the program will replace
the current tooltypes with the one the dropped icon has.
° the default tool of a project can also be changed by drag&drop.
° double-clicking the icon will open the workbench object.
INSTALLATION
Simply use the supplied Installer script.
