Filters help file


This software is COPYRIGHT, but has been released as FREEWARE. Please see the
end of this file for conditions of use and distribution.

The programs in ZF: (Filters.Code) are written to be run by FILTERSEL (in the
module ZapUtils). They may be  written in BASIC, or a compiled  language such
as C.

The help text  is in  ZFHelp: (Filters.Docs);  each file must  have the  same
leafname as the filter it contains help on.


Writing your own programs


A skeleton BASIC program "Filt_Shell" is  supplied for you to build your  own
programs around.


Preparing the programs for use


None necessary, unless you run !Zap from floppy, in which case you'll need to
edit Filters.!Run appropriately (just follow the instructions).


Placing the filters in a module


First of all, make sure that Zap's !Boot file has been run.

The program Filters.MakeRes is used here. First, load it into Zap  (or Edit),
move to the bottom  of the file. Move  a few lines up  and you will find  the
lines
 REM Files to include
 REM End
Between these lines  is a DATA  list containing the  filter file names.  They
must be in the same directory as MakeRes. If you have any to add, insert them
here, then save and run MakeRes. You can load  the module ZapFilters straight
away as it doesn't include any Zap commands.
