DesktopPD/PinPatch/!ReadMe

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.

Pinboard rom patch is a patch for the pinboard.

The following new features are implented:

Fixes bug when dragging a group of selected icons with adjust.
      Previously, if you dragged a group of selected icons with adjust, it
      would drag all but the icon dragged on.

Allows dragging of iconised window icons with adjust.
      Previously only select worked and adjust was just ignored.

Fixes always claiming window closed messages.
      Whenever a window closes, the window manager broadcasts a message to tell
      applications. It is only used by pinboard like applications, so the
      pinboard always claimed it. But some patches need to use it.

Adds auto saving of pinboard state on shutdown.
      If the system variable SavePinboard$State contains a valid path, the
      current state of the pinboard is saved to that file when the computer is
      shut down.

Adds support for JPEG backdrops.
      JPEG files can now be used as backdrops and are rendered in real time.

Fixes bug in detecting mode change.
      Previously the pinboard would sometimes fail to redraw the screen when
      the mode changed, that could cause a scaled backdrop to stop filling the
      screen.

Fixes bug in spriteextend.
      Previously spriteextend would fail with an address exception error if you
      tried to render a JPEG while the current wimpslot was less than 24k.

For full documentation, see the !Help file inside the application.

Installation:
-------------

***NOTE***: If you have an existing version of my pinboard Rom
Patch, you must remove it completely before continuing, as the
installation method has changed. To do this, delete the obey file
called !PinPatch that you installed in either your predesk or tasks
directory. Then delete the directory PinROMPatch in your
!Boot.Utils directory.

First, copy the whole !PinPatch application into your
!Boot.Choices.Boot.Tasks directory. (Users with RiscOS 3.7 or later
can put it in their !Boot.Choices.Boot.Predesk directory instead if
they wish).

RISC OS 3.50 users only: If you have Acorn's ROM patch on your
system (it will be called !ROMPatch in your
!Boot.Choices.Boot.Tasks directory). Then you must rename it to
!!ROMPatch (add a !). This is to ensure that it is run before
pinboard ROM Patch.

Finally reset the machine and it should all be installed.

In the unlikely event that something goes wrong, you may find that
your machine refuses to start, getting as far as the startup screen
then crashing. If this happens, reset the machine holding down
shift (press control + shift + break). This will start the machine
without running the boot sequence. You can then go into !Boot and
remove the files you have just added, restart the machine and try
again.

It is possible to test it first to see the effect. To do so just
double click on the !PinPatch application and it will be
temporarily installed.
