Short: ReqTools 2.3 - the requester toolkit
Author: nico@augfl.be (Nico Francois)
Uploader: cmh@lls.se (Magnus Holmgren)
Type: util/libs
---------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: This is the user archive, there are no includes, autodocs, glue
code, example files included.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
reqtools.library is a standard Amiga shared, runtime library. The purpose
of ReqTools is to make it a lot quicker and easier to build standard
requesters into your programs. ReqTools is designed with Commodore's style
guidelines in mind, all requesters have the look-and-feel of AmigaDOS
Release 2.
ReqTools features the following requesters: a query requester, a string
requester, a number requester, a file requester, a font requester, a
palette requester, a volume requester and a screenmode requester.
Also included are RTPatch (1.3) and RexxReqTools (1.3):
RTPatch is a small program that will re-route functions from most popular
requester libraries to ReqTools. Libraries currently supported are Arp, Req
and Asl. RTPatch will also patch some functions in Intuition to give you
improved system requesters.
RexxReqTools gives ARexx users easy access to a large family of requesters.
All requesters are easy to use; they require one or no arguments. But the
requesters also have a lot of power through several optional arguments and
through tagstrings. RexxReqTools itself doesn't implement any of these
requesters, it is a link between ARexx and ReqTools.

RELEASE 2.3 (Library version 38.1292)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: Update work made by Magnus Holmgren. Due to the change of
programmer, please be aware of that there might be some
initial problems, such as missing files and similar.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Release 1.3 of RexxReqTools included.
Recompiled using DICE 3.01. This was forced by the fact that I don't
have SAS/C (yet, at lest). As a result, the library now is a couple
of KBs larger.
Bug fix: screenmode requester now works better when showing a depth
gadget for HAM screens. Most notably, the requester will not crash
under certain circumstances, and will also handle HAM modes with a
depth of 8 (earlier, only depth 6 was supported). The HAM support was
a kind of hack, which was incomplete. Its still a hack, but it is
better now. ;)
In the file requester, when displaying the volumes list, RMB acts like
pressing the Get gadget. I.e., you can go back to the original list
by a simple RMB click. The "Volumes" gadget also acts like Get, if
pressed while the volume list is displayed.
The resizable requesters now uses "OS 3 zooming". I.e., the requester
doesn't move (unless needed) when zoomed.
Added zoom gadget for the palette requester. When zoomed, the
requester resizes to "titlebar" size; again, using OS 3 zooming if
possible.
Updated the Swedish translation a little.
In rtEZRequest, function keys can now be used to select the first ten
gadgets, if enabled in the prefs editor.
Added the 'Use function keys' option to the prefs program. Currently
this is the only way to enable this function. In the future there
will probably be a new tag/flag for this as well.
Increased the stack some requester functions allocates, if needed.
Should solve the crashing requesters with some programs when e.g.
CyberGraphX is installed.
Added missing tags to ReqTools.h (RTGL_CenterText and RTGS_CenterText).
Fixed the prefs editor so that all gadgets are updated when new
settings are loaded.
Rewrote the DICE-C glue. Now includes autoopen code.
New distribution layout. There are still two different archives, but
the contents are different little:
reqtools<ver>.lha is replaced with reqtools<ver>dev.lha, and contains
only the developer files (glue, examples, includes and autodocs). The
user archive (reqtools<ver>usr.lha) haven't changed.
The filerequester (and the font- and screenmode requester as well) will
now look better when the screen they open on have "strange" dri-pens.
Support for OS 1.3 completely dropped. The 1.3 version of
reqtools.library is no longer included.
Made a minor change in the ASL patch in RTPatch, so that it returns
errors more correctly (avoids annoying error requesters after having
cancelled certain file requesters). I hope the reassemble didn't
break anything. I haven't tested it much. ;)
