- Protect-O-Matic 1.2
- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
-
- Protect-O-Matic (PM) is a Utility program for setting the protection
- bits of files from WorkBench. As far as I know it's the only program that
- allows this. The best way to learn to use PM is to examine the file
- show.me while reading this text. However, this is not necessary, you could
- just run PM and see almost the same picture. If you want to use the
- show.me file, I've included the PD utility 'ushow' in the archive to make
- this easily possible. it's usage is simply:
-
- ushow [filename]
-
- Looking at the picture, you will see, on the left side the window 5 lines
- of HSPARWED... these gadgets represent the protection flags. If they are
- red, then the flag is set. Click on the letter to change the flag.
-
- Moving to the right, are the filenames. Directories will appear red here,
- and the Directory name may be clicked on to enter the sub-directory.
-
- On the left of that are what I call the DO_IT buttons. When these are
- hit, the protection flags of the file are changed, if necessary, to match
- those on the display.
-
- On the left of the DO_IT buttons are the scrolling gadgets for scrolling
- through the list of filenames.
-
- Along the bottom are the gadgets which change the current path that PM is
- looking at. Most are self-explanitory with the exception of the '*'
- gadget. This gadget will re-read the current path. PM remembers any
- changes made to the protection flags even while scrolled off the screen.
- The '/' gadget will go to the parent directory if one exists.
-
- To the right of the Path gadgets, are the last two. 'WRITE ALL' changes
- the protection flags on all files in the directory (also, if necessary) to
- match those of the buffer. Lastly, ICONIFY will iconify the program to the
- upper left corner of the WorkBench screen. PM will remember where the icon
- is if you move it, and it will also put the window back into it's last
- location. This frees up any memory allocated to the directory listings,
- and generally reduces memory usage by about 10k. To get back into PM, just
- double-click the
- icon.

- Release Notes...

- At this time, I know of no bugs in PM, however, if you find any I surely
- would like to know.
