PD/!WinScreen/!Help

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

 This is a RO3 application, that wil make it possible
 for you to have many "screens" on the Archimedes.
 I got the idea from HP's vuesession (X-session) in
 X-Windows. This is not a big application, so it
 should be very easy to use.

 How to use:

 Changing screen.
 ================
 Use the select-button on the icon to change "screen"
 when you change screen the windows are stored, so
 they'll come back when you reselect a screen.
 You can also use the Keys to change screen. Use left
 SHIFT & left CTRL + Key 1-9 on the keypad.

 Move A Window to another screen.
 ================================
 The dark xor field on the icon show you where the
 window can be moved. This can be changed by using the
 Adjust-button on your mouse. (you can't move it to the
 current screen). Then you use SHIFT + Adjust-button on
 the window dragbar an swoooooossssssjjjjj it moves to
 the other screen.

 Get back all the windows.
 =========================
 Just select Retrieve on the menu.
 You don't need to do this before quitting the program,
 cause it happens automaticly.


 Hope you find a use for this application.
