- The HiSoft Extended File Selector
- =================================
-
- This is a replacement for the GEM File Selector, used by most HiSoft
- products and many other GEM applications, offering many advantages.
-
- This product is supplied as a service to HiSoft customers. It is *not*
- public domain, but is supplied with most of our products.
-
- Installation
- ============
- The file HFSEL.PRG should be copied into an AUTO folder on your boot
- disk. When you re-boot your machine, the new file selector will be
- available. It uses less than 6k bytes.
-
- Improvements
- ============
- The Selector looks fairly similar to the standard one and has been
- designed to be used in a similar way, but without the annoying features.
-
- There are sixteen Drive buttons, allowing easy changing of drives.
- When you change the Directory string from the keyboard you can press
- the Return key to re-display the filename list, without forcing a Cancel.
-
- By default up to 150 files are displayed (the norm is 100) but, if
- memory allows, up to 600 files will be shown.
-
- While a disk directory is being read, the keyboard is being read so you
- can type-ahead into the Filename box. No ESC will be needed if you type-
- ahead. The Undo key may be pressed to Cancel the Selector whilst the
- disk is being read.
-
- Similar Features
- ================
- The bug in pre-blitter ROMs to do with pressing the Underline key when
- in the Directory string still affects the HiSoft Selector.
-
- Compatibility
- =============
- It should be compatible with all GEM programs that use the normal
- File Selector. If you encounter any problems please write to us, stating
- the serial number of the HiSoft product you obtained this from. The
- selector may be de-installed if required by selecting the relevant option
- from the About.. alert box.
