PD/!Status/!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.

� version 1.03 (28-Mar-93)
� by Dave Thomas � 1992-3

 Purpose ___________________________________________________________________

 It seems that status bars are becoming increasingly popular in software
packages (DrawPlus, ArtWorks etc). They are normally just an icon which
makes comments on your last operation, which is useful if you go away for a
bit and can't quite remember where you were up to.
 After using !DrawPlus quite intensively once for a project, using the
desktop without one became quite strange. So I wrote one!
 Status is basically a Wimp message monitor, it cannot 'see' all the
messages as loads of them are task-task messages as opposed to broadcast
messages. Status also has applications as a sort-of virus detector, i.e. if
you keep a beady eye open you might possibly see a virus initialising itself
(!). 

 Usage _____________________________________________________________________

 After you have loaded Status, it's main window will open just above the
icon bar. At first the window looks un-moveable because it hasn't got a
title bar but don't worry, you can move the window by dragging the icon
where the text appears. The buttons to the left are just the standard
Wimp-gadgets except that I've implemented my own user interface for them,
they work in exactly the same way as the usual gadgets (but on Risc OS 3 the
window won't iconise).
 When something happens and !Status gets to hear about it, it will make a
comment on it. Such as 'The Wimp has changed to mode 12'.
 
 Notes _____________________________________________________________________

- It's probably best to install !Status before any other application as
 other apps could claim messages and then !Status will not be able report
 on them.
- !Status can spool out a log file of all the messages it receives to a file
 '<Status$Dir>.MsgLog'. If you want this, then go into !RunImage and on the
 end of the third line is 'log%=FALSE' change this to 'log%=TRUE'. The file
 will be written to when a message occurs so it slows things down a bit....
- Some messages aren't let though 'cos you'd end up seeing nothing but the
 same messages repeatedly ('SetSlot' is the main culprit). They're REMed out
 in !RunImage change 'em if yer wanna.
