DesktopPD/ExtraBar/!ExDocs/Docs/exlibrary

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.

<H2>Introduction</H2>

<p><b>ExLibrary</b> is a shared resource for ExtraBar. It contains a number of files that add a number of extra facilities to the RiscOS desktop</p>

<a name="facs"></a>
<h2>Facilities</h2>

<a name="caret"></a>
<h3>Caret_</h3>
<p>The Caret_ utility supplies three extra star commands to the operating system.</p>
<ul>
<li>Caret_Back &lt;count&gt;
<li>Caret_Forward &lt;count&gt;
<li>Emulate_Key &lt;wimp key code&gt;
</ul>

<a name="filermenu"></a>
<h3>FilerMenu</h3>
<p>The Filermenu utility supplies one extra star command to operating system.</p>
<ul>
<li>Filer_Menu &lt;directory path&gt;
</ul>
<p>There are many other attributes that can be altered.</p>
<p><b>Please read the FilerMenu <a href="file:/ExLibrary:Utils/!FilerMenu/!Help">!Help file</a>.</b></p>

<a name="hourglass"></a>
<h3>Hourglass</h3>
<p>The Hourglass utility supplies four extra star commands to operating system.</p>
<ul>
<li>Hourglass_On
<li>Hourglass_Off
<li>Hourglass_Smash
<li>Hourglass_Percentage &lt;percentage&gt;
</ul>
<p>These allow control of the Hourglass from an obey file.</p>

<a name="insert"></a>
<h3>Insert</h3>
<p>The Insert utility supplies four extra star commands to operating system.</p>
<ul>
<li>Set Alias$Insert &lt;text&gt;
<li>Set Alias$Insert_text &lt;text&gt;
<li>Set Alias$Insert_file &lt;file path&gt;
<li>Set Alias$Insert_contents &lt;file path&gt;
</ul>
<p>These allow you to insert text whether the caret is currently positioned. If there is no current window with the input focus then an error is reported.</p>

<a name="sprites"></a>
<h3>Sprites</h3>
<p>The Sprites utility supplies two extra star commands to operating system.</p>
<ul>
<li>SaveROMSprites &lt;file path&gt;
<li>SaveWIMPSprites &lt;file path&gt;
</ul>
<p>These enable you to save the standard sprites easily.</p>

<a name="usermenu"></a>
<h3>UserMenu</h3>
<p>The UserMenu utility supplies an extra star commands to operating system.</p>
<ul>
<li>User_Menu &lt;textfile path&gt;
</ul>
<p>The first line of the text file should the menu title, if this line is blank then the menu will not have a title bar. All of the following lines should be in the format.</p>
<p><tt>Menu text&lt;tab character&gt;Star command</tt></p>
<p>If you want to have a sprite on a line then you should add the sprite name before the menu text followed by a semi-colon.</p>
<p><tt>Sprite;Menu text&lt;tab character&gt;Star command</tt></p>

<a name="wait"></a>
<h3>Wait</h3>
<p>The Wait utility supplies an extra star commands to operating system.</p>
<ul>
<li>Wait &lt;time in centiseconds&gt;
</ul>
<p>This pauses an Obey file from being processed for x centiseconds</p>

<a name="web"></a>
<h3>Web</h3>
<p>The Insert utility supplies an extra star commands to operating system. Unlike either <i>*URL</i> or <i>*URIDispatch</i> this command supports both the ANT and Acorn protocals. Though it gives Acorns priority</p>
<ul>
<li>Web &lt;URI&gt;
</ul>
<p>These could be;</p>
<ul>
<li>mailto:
<li>http://
<li>https://
<li>ftp://
<li>x-irc://
</ul>
<p><em>This command is automatically used by ExtraBar when you drag the URL from the Fresco tool bar on to the main ExtraBar window.</em></p> 

<a name="add"></a>
<h2>Additions</h2>
<p>To add items to the ExLibrary directory you will need to copy them in to the <tt>!ExLibrary.Utils</tt> directory. If they are applications then they will be booted at the same time as the main <tt>!ExLibrary</tt> application is.</p>

<p>This directory is also included in to the <tt>Run$Path</tt> so that files can be run by just using their leaf name.</p>
