FLUTE
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to Flute 1.83. Flute is a scripting language for Windows 3.1x and
Windows 95 (It automatically adapts to suit the operating system it does
not need to be reinstalled for Windows 95). We do NOT recommend it for Windows NT.
Revision: July 21st 1996
Flute controls program by having commands to 'click here' 'select this
menu' or 'type this text'. It can control programs by:
Mouse, Keyboard, menu and other user interface manipulations
DDE Communications
OLE Automation
Windows Acts (functions performed by windows themselves)
To Install run SETUP.EXE (you must run setup as it installs registry entries)
and other Windows information. The folder containing setup.exe must only contain
Flute files, so if you obtained this file as a .zip make sure you unzip it into
an *empty* folder.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Do You Like It?
If you like Flute there are two things you can do about it:
1) Tell your friends, tell computer magazines, upload it to any BBSs you know or
generally spread the word. There thousand of crap shareware products out there -
how is anyone supposed to tell the dross from the cream?
2) Pay for it (and get rid of the registration message in the process).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Don't like it?
TELL US why, as you can see from the revision list below it is constantly
developing. Let us know and we'll consider your request for future revisions.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We want you to REGISTER.
This is a shareware version. On startup it puts up a pester message which automatically
disappears. Registering removes that pester message.
The shareware version of Flute may be distributed freely. When you register we send
you a serial number. The serial number is personnel to you.
DO NOT GIVE AWAY YOUR SERIAL NUMBER. This key number will allow you to unlock
future shareware versions.
Future versions of Flute may be retail products rather than shareware. We will
arrange a discount for registered customers.
Registration costs
UKú20
US$30
Or equivalent in any currency. We can only accept money orders,
cheques (any currency) or cash (any currency).
In addition you can also pay through the Kagi Shareware company which
can process all forms of payment including credit cards.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To Register:
Select 'Register Flute' from the Help menu. An automated program will take you
through the various options.

What has changed:
-----------------
Tooltips to display contents of a variable (when the program is running), help
on functions and commands etc.
--(v1.82)
Support for Kagi Registering
Bug in Check brackets fixed.
Add programs icons the the Win95 'Taskbar'.
More file commands
Bug in 'remove' fixed
--(v1.81)
Recording of window popup menu events.
Better recording of scroll bar events.
Support for long file names when running on Win'95
String manipulation commands.
Array sort and search commands.
Assorted bug fixing
Comms Functions
Improved Help with new table of contents
--(v1.70)
lmultidrag commands, these commands are for dragging across multiple windows.
More reliable findwindow command. No longer gets confused by custom edit boxes etc.
Better recording of cross window drags.
Better recording of keyboard menu events.
Better recording of alt-keyboard events and alt-mouse events.
Saving and loading raw text files.
New more powerful paste mouse actions dialogue.
Added a Freeware reminder since this is getting closer and closer to a full release.
New Hierarchical paste function dialog box, with buttons to take you to the
helper windows.
FastFindWindow - this is the same as findwindow, but whereas FindWindow will
wait for 5 seconds for a window to appear, FastFindWindow returns immediately.
deletefile - deletes a file and returns TRUE or an error as appropriate
e.g. result:=deletefile("d:\1.txt");
We have removed subclass.dll and loader.exe, these parts of Flute caused nothing
but trouble and have been trashed.
Swapped window names are now supported, use the paste FindWindow to generate a
suitable FindWindow command. The Window name is now held in full,
e.g. "Document1 - MSWord", the FindWindow command doesn't know which part is
important, and so it checks the parts before and after the dash separately.
