PD/ShutDown/!Help/HelpText

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.

ShutDown

This program originally came from:
        HeadFirst Public Domain
        45 Cedar Street
        SOUTHPORT
        PR8 6NQ

For a full list of our programs, please send an SAE to the
above address.

If you are distributing ShutDown (ie you run a PD library,
club/user group, magazine, or BBS) then you must contact me
(send a disc of PD and an SAE) so that I can send you the most
recent version. My address is at the end of this help file.

Having said that...

--------
PROBLEMS
--------
We always want to hear of any problems you may have with any of
our software, so that we can correct it as soon as possible.
Send full details of the problem, together with a disc
containing the program and an SAE, to the above address.

-------
CREDITS
-------
This program was written by Gareth Boden, using an Acorn A4000
with !StrongED2, !FormEd, !WimpKit, BASIC V, !BasCrunch and the
RISC OS 3 PRMs. (I got them on 27/5/93 - can anyone beat
this?). It is not guaranteed to work on anything else, but
should do.

The HelpView program was written by Graham Jones.

The template definitions are based on (but not copied from)
those in the RISC OS 3 ROM.

-----------
THE PROGRAM
-----------
This program was written so that RISC OS 2 and RISC OS 3
computers could be shut down in the same way. This was needed
because the computers were being used in a school and therefore
the pupils could use a consistent method no matter which
computer they used. This program emulates the ShutDown facility
of RISC OS 3, and as such is of no use on computers fitted with
RISC OS 3.

The program provides an extra "hot key" for the desktop, namely
Shift-Ctrl-F12. This causes all applications to be quit and the
desktop to be cleared save for a small window allowing you to
restart the computer. The ShutDown procedure also closes all
open files and parks all hard discs.

Any applications which have unsaved work (and conform to Acorn
guidelines) when the ShutDown procedure is initiated will check
with the user whether you want to save your work before
shutting down.

Always make sure you exit the desktop "cleanly" when switching
off or before a Ctrl-Break ie by quitting all applications
using either the menu option Quit or the desktop Exit or new
Shutdown facilities. If you don't do this, then programs won't
be able to save any changes you have made to your work. You
should always exit "cleanly" to avoid accidentally wiping out
unsaved work.

----------
KNOWN BUGS
----------
None, unless you know different!  (Drop me a line if you do!)

-------
HISTORY
-------
A list of the different versions of ShutDown (in reverse
chronological order):

1.00    - Original version. Written in BASIC V.

-------------------
FUTURE IMPROVEMENTS
-------------------
I may add further features to this program in the future. I am
more likely to do this if you ask me to, so send your
suggestions to me.
        
----------
THE AUTHOR
----------
Any comments ( good :-) or bad :-( ), bug reports, suggestions
for improvement (surely not!), nice letters, offers of cash,
gold bars, etc to:

        Gareth Boden
        45 Cedar Street
        SOUTHPORT
        PR8 6NQ

If you send me a disc of PD (or some cash) I will send you the
latest versions of any software I have written (with a bit of
PD to fill the disc).

------
BYEEE!
------
Well, that about wraps it up. The program was designed for a
simple task and it does it adequately (I don't want to say
"well").

ShutDown will install happily on a hard disc, and uses very
little memory (8k-32k), so it should work on any RISC OS
machine.

If you want to print out these instructions, they can be found
in !Help.HelpText.

Remember: Life is like a faulty disc drive - you frequently
find yourself on the wrong track altogether.
