Short: Active window to front Author: Thomas Radtke (thradtke@nereid.rz.uni-osnabrueck.de) Uploader: Thomas Radtke (thradtke nereid rz uni-osnabrueck de) Type: util/wb Architecture: m68k-amigaos ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: What is it ? A: This nice hack brings the active window on a public screen in front of all other windows. Just click on that cool icon. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: Another CTF ? You love redundancy in Amiga's software pool, don't you ? A1: Yes, but this one is special. It's short, it's NO commodity and it's special purpose is to use it with sunmouse (qmouse i.e.). In sunmouse mode you activate a window by placing the pointer on it. Then, after a delay, the window will - bang! - face you in it's full size. If you are sunmouse user, please try it. I think it's very usefull ! A2: Yes. Why not ? Choose the one YOU like ! If my hack isn't your choice, kick it, erase it and tell everybody that you hate it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: What delay time ? A: Adjust it with the tooltype DELAY (DELAY=100 i.e. (two secs.)). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: Cooool ! Is it GNU ? must I set the stack to 1MB ? A: No, no. It is Freeware. I hold the copyright. Distribute it as you like, but nobody may earn money of it, with two exceptions: The Distribution on Aminet CD or Fish is allowed. Others must ask for my permission. Distribute it only with this file intact. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: You placed the source within the archive. Why ? A: Learn from it (if you need) and write programs yourself. Aaaand: Send them to me :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: May I send flames to you, telling you this program is a piece of crap ? A: Not in german language. I would understand it and it would hurt me badly. No problemo in english since I don't understand one word (this text was written with an english scool book in my left hand). But please make it short and don't mess up my mailbox ! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: Then, may I send you comments and bug reports ? A: You are welcome. But place the keyword 'harmless' in the subject field of your mail to let me know if it is worth to translate. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: May I ask you to explain me the code ? A: No way. If you have not the slightest clue whats going on there, consult the KRM's, or, even better, do a delete #?.c in your source path. The code couldn't be simpler. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: I want to know if this program takes much cpu-time. What should I do ? A: Get CPULoad from Aminet (It's full of bugs, but it seems to be harmless). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: Do you know that you are talking to yourself ? A: Only on sleepy sundays. I hope that many people would have asked the same questions. Also, talking to themself is the object of many FAQ writers, i.e. Q: can I do X11 on NetBSD ? A: Yes you can do X11 on NetBSD. copper (cu), Thomas
