PROCUREPENS and SETPENS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Color setting software for AGA and Workbench release 3.0 (V39) or higher.
Copyright ©1993, 1994 by Joseph Luk. All rights reserved.
------------------------------------------------------------------ README FILE
Requirements
~~~~~~~~~~~~
OS3.0 and AGA for 8-bit color. Will work under ECS also (as long as you have
Workbench 3.0 or better), but the colors will be rounded to four bits
per gun.
History
~~~~~~~
V1.14 3/16/94 - Okay, I gave up with the complicated scheme that was
being used when a screen close notification was
received. For those of you interested, I now poll
IntuitionBase->ActiveScreen until it changes. This
is significantly more convenient than the old way,
at least on my machine. If ProcurePens now fails
to reallocate its pens on your machine, it's more
than likely that you're running some sort of mouse
blanker type commodity that messes with screen
depth arrangement. Please notify me if you have
problems.
- Fixed a bug that caused PP to fail when reading
config files that didn't terminate immediately
after the "END". (thanks Stefano for your report!)
V1.13 1/8/94 - Now unlocks config file while not in use and alloes
you to modify it while ProcurePens is running.
- Pen reallocation timing reduced by 1/3 -- if you are
having problems with ProcurePens reinstating its
locks too soon, notify me or reduce the number of
windows on your screen.
- Some minor optimizations.
- Fixed minor pre-localization bug -- NEXT version
will localize, I promise!
V1.12 12/26/93 - Code optimized
- Obsolete CLI options removed: LOCKSCREEN, DEBUG
- Fixed NOTIFYNAMES deallocation bug
- Ready for localizaion
- Messages cut down; VERBOSE now gives you the old
display (most people were running the program
with redirection to NIL: anyway)
- Added notification for ENV:Sys/Palette.prefs (oops!)
- New file size: 13372 bytes (gained 664 bytes!)
- SetPens completely rewritten based on PP 1.12 code,
file size = 11932 bytes (gained 48 bytes), ready
for localization.
V1.11 12/20/93 Smarter waiting after receiving notification that an
IPrefs file has been changed. Instead of waiting for
a specific amount of time (3 seconds was the default)
before reinstating all locks, ProcurePens now temporarily
changes its task priority to -2 so that Workbench can do
its cleanup. Users were having problems because
Workbench was still in the process of closing windows
when ProcurePens reinstated its locks.
V1.10 12/19/93 MAJOR rewrite! ProcurePens now uses DOS StartNotify() on
key IPrefs files to prevent the pen settings from being
wiped out in the event of the Workbench screen reopening.
(thanks a mil Martin!)
V1.01 11/12/93 GrabCMAP added to package. This program takes the color
palette off an IFF file and saves it in a Procure/SetPens
compatible format.
V1.00a 10/18/93 OOOOPPSS!! I accidentally distributed the wrong archive,
which came sans SampleConfig. This version has the
correct files. (thanks to D.CCHRISTY for telling me)
V1.00 10/16/93 Initial release. Beta testing wasn't too extensive, so
if you encounter bugs, PLEASE drop me a line!
