awd - Archimedes Window Dump
This program allows you to dump the contents
of a wimp window into a sprite file, a little
bit like xwd does under X-windows. There are
3 modes of operation:
o normal window
o background window
o icon bar
To make a dump of a window, place the pointer
over the window you require and press the
SHIFT+CTRL+PRINT key. If the window is a
"normal window", ie. user windows and menus
(but not menu trees) then a snapshot of the
window is taken. If the window is the background
window then the whole screen is dumped, and
if it is the icon bar then the icon bar is
dumped. The icon bar dump only works on fixed
icon bars. Once you have taken a dump, you can
save it in the normal way, or view it.
The icon bar menu contains:
o info - normal program information
o save - normal save box
o view - view the current dump in a
DesktopViewer window
o clear - Clear and free the memory
held for the current dump
o quit - quit the application
Configuration: (Thanks go to Philip Colmer)
The default "hot" key can be changed by
editing the !Config file, contained within
this application. The default value should
be &1b0, which is also the value taken if
the file cannot be found. The number
represents the key value return by wimp poll
routine (refer to page 1198 of the RISC OS 2
PRMs). When ever passing this application on
to anyone, please change the !Config file back
to the default (&1B0). The file should contain
just 4 characters which are taken to represent
a hex number. Some example values follow:
o &1B0 - SHIFT-CTRL-PRINT
o &180 - PRINT
o &181 - F1
DO NOT SQUEEZE THE RUNIMAGE FILE. This action
will result in the application not working
within the 8K wimpslot.

This program is PD, but I claim the copyright over
any files contained within the this directory,
and the source code. The program can be passed on,
but must be passed on complete, and this includes
info-servers, bbs, and PD libraries. NO CHARGE should
be made for this program. Like almost any computer program,
this program may contain minor bugs which should not affect
the general running of the program, but may crop up
occasionally due to unforeseen circumstances (e.g.
running on hardware/software/OS versions not the same
as the author's or under certain conditions not yet tested
by the author). Users are encouraged to send any bug reports
to the author at the address specified earlier, but the
author is NOT liable for any problems (disk crashes, hung
machines and the such like) that may arise from these bugs.
This stems from the fact that the software is FREE and cannot
be guaranteed to be 100% bug-free. However, the author
will always fix any reported bugs and release a fresh
version of this if the bug was serious enough.
