Finger-In-A-Window v1.12 Freeware (c) 1996 by Greg Kondrasuk ------------------------------------------------------------- REQUIREMENTS: -OS/2 2.x, 3.0 -TCP/IP 1.2.1 or higher -Rexx support installed with REXXUTIL.DLL and RXSOCK.DLL located in directories in your LIBPATH enviromental variable. WARRENTY: This software comes with absolutely no warranty, expressed or implied, including but not limited to fitness for a particular purpose. You should realize that I am in no way responsible for any loss or damage that may occur due to the use of this software. The program is provided on an "as is" basis. Use at your own risk. DESCRIPTION: Finger-In-A-Window is an OS/2 PM program that will allow you to store a list of frequently fingered addresses and display the finger output in a scrollable window. The address list can be saved, sorted, and arranged and the program's size, position, and output window font (changed by drag-and-drop from the OS/2 Font Palette) may also be saved. Unfortunately though, there is no help file because I don't yet own a help file compiler. But the program is quite straight-forward and information line tips are available for the buttons and menu choices. Finger-In-A-Window was written using Hockware's excellent VisPro REXX 3.0. It accesses the TCP/IP sockets directly using RxSock. Therefore the RXSOCK.DLL file must be in your LIBPATH. I believe it is installed by default with Warp Connect, but not with the dialup TCP/IP in the BonusPak. If you don't have it on your computer, it can be obtained from Hobbes (among other places) at: ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/os2/ibm/ews/rxsock.zip If you have any questions/comments/suggestions, please let me know.

HISTORY --------------------------------------------------------------- 1 January 1996 - Initial v1.0 release 1 January 1996 - v1.01 release (Gosh, that didn't long!) -Fixed problem with missing DLL in .EXE file 1 January 1996 - v1.02 release (Again!?!? Geez Greg! Learn to program!) -Completely elimated the missing DLL file by hard-coding the name of the temporary file (no need to call SysFileTemp() and therefore to have REXXUTIL.DLL installed) and providing font-change support through drag-and-drop only. -Fixed problem with sort dialog introducing junk addresses if the up/down buttons were pressed with no address selected. 3 January 1996 - v1.1 release -Added direct TCP/IP socket support with RxSock--no more temp files! Therefore RXSOCK.DLL must be in LIBPATH. -REXXUTIL.DLL once again required to be in LIBPATH. 20 February 1996 - v1.11 release -Buttons now become disabled while a finger is executing. -Updated my email address in About dialog box. 25 February 1996 - v1.12 release -Re-included the icon that had been left off of the v1.11 build (oops!). -Corrected the About dialog box to show the version number. -Small adjustments in the output window size so that it would be flush against the window border.
