Shareware/Event/Documents/Examples/!WinSave2/Resources/UK/WinSave2/HelpData

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.

Introduction to WinSave2 
This program is intended as a demonstration of
what is possible using the EvntShell library, and
shows how to program static windows, hot keys, mode
change events, drag saves and loading/saving
program choice files.

However, it is a useful application in its own
right, saving desktop windows as sprite files for
inclusion in DTP etc. The Acorn Help application
is fully supported.

Note that at the moment saving windows as template
files is problematic when sprite icons are involved!

It is also not possible (in this version) to change
the trigger keypress. Maybe next time...Help on WinSave2

The WinSave2 program and the EvntShell library
are ShareWare.

This means that you may copy it freely, but not
alter it, or make money on it, and if you find the
program useful you are supposed to <register>!

Note that the !Illusions disk magazine and the
associated Digital Illusions PD library are
specifically forbidden to distribute any part of
the EvntShell library code, or any program developed
using the library code.Registering
With a project as complicated as the EvntShell
library it is inevitable that there will be bugs
and things that don't work as you would like.

If you have problems I will gladly attempt to
solve them and send an update, but this does take
time and cost money. In order to provide this
service I ask for �5.00 (not worth as much as it
was anyway!) as a registration fee for the library
code. This licences you to use the code for any
number of your own projects.

Not much to say about this, except
that it isn't finished! Bring the
Window to the top works properly
now though, but don't use this
option if you want to capture menus!

A new, fully working (I hope!)
version will be along shortly now
that EvntShell is about finished.
