StarInfo/Miskin/!RPCInfo/!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.

            v 1.00 8/6/95
            
            
This utility displays a variety of useful information on the iconbar. 
 Select/Adjust on the icon-bar icon cycles forwards/backwards through 
 the options.             

                             
These are : 1) Time          hh:mm

            2) Date          29th February  
            
            3) Free          Gives current free memory
             or FreeK        ....         always in  K
             
            4) Disc          Gives free space on specified disc -see below
            
            5) Colours       Shows number of colours in the current mode
            
            6) XY            Shows x-y resoloution of the current mode
            
            7) Timer         This runs unless MENU is pressed, which stops 
                             the display updating, but the timer continues -
                             allowing split times to be recorded. 
                             To restart, switch to another option and back.
                             
                             
The Config file within the application allows the default settings to be 
    changed. Only those you wish to change need be included, and the order 
    controls the order in which the options are displayed.

The format is:  
    
    Time    gives hh:mm
     
    Time: <time string, as for !Alarm  eg %12:%mi%se>
                                          or %m3 %dy%st %ce%yr>
                                                       
          More than one time entry can be included, to allow, for instance, 
          display of time, then date the day of week.    
                         
    
    Date  needs no parameters, and displays a simple Date format
    
    
    Free  needs no parameters, and displays the current free memory
                         
                         
    Disc:Title to display/Filing system (eg RamFS,ADFS)/Drive name (HardDisc4>
    
          This can also be used to show the free space on a PC partition 
          by specifying:
       
    Disc:PCDisc/ADFS/HardDisc4.$.PC.drive_c  (using your partition file name) 

       
    Timer: < Optional time string> - if absent , %mi:%ss will be used to give 
                                     minutes and seconds only.  
       
       
Any other lines will be ignored. Only the first 25 choices will be used.
                           
                           
If the Config file is missing, the time as hh:mm:ss and the free memory are
    displayed.        

The directory Config contains a selection of config files to get you started
    - just copy the one you like into !RPCInfo as Config, or modify one to 
    suit your needs. 
    
The icon-bar icon resizes itself when the Config file is read, to just 
    accommodate the longest entry : so keeping text entries brief makes the 
    icon smaller.                  
                             
Unless the timer is selected, MENU allows the standard Info & Quit options, 
    and also enables the Config file to be rescanned, so you can easily 
    experiment with date & time formats.      


The application only calls Wimp_Poll as frequently as necessary for the current     option - every second for the Timer, or if the Time includes seconds,  
    up to every hour for Date (so it will not update immediately afer midnight, 
    unless you move away and back to the Date display).  Moving away from a 
    display of seconds will reduce the processor time used, if you are 
    running other time-critical applications.   

If an error occurs in calculating the value of an option - for instance because     of an error in a time string, or because the RAM drive has been removed -
    the icon displays 'Error in <n>'  where <n> is the line in Config 
    corresponding to the call. No further attempt to display that value is made 
    until it is next selected - so you can just skip over any options not 
    currently working, with no time penalty.
