!WimpTools/!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.

File contents
Wimp Tools by Matt Lewis This archive contains a module WimpTools, which provides a convenient interface to WIMP operations through some SWI calls. The calls are fully documented in the !Help file in the WimpTools application. The Demo application contains a Basic program which demontrates the use of the calls. The TempPrint application, in addition to demonstrating their use, will print out the text definiton of a template file. To use the WimpTools module either: 1) Run the WimpTools application (which sets up a pointer to the WimpTools module) and include in your !Run file a line of the form �RmEnsure WimpTools 1.40 RmLoad <WimpTools$Dir>.WimpTools� or 2) Copy the WimpTools module from within the application (Shift-double-click on the WimpTools application to see it) to the Modules directory in your !System folder. Then include in your !Run file a line of the form �RmEnsure WimpTools 1.40 RmLoad System:WimpTools� � Copyright Matt Lewis 1994
