                           Application Creator v1.04
=============================================================================

Legal Copyright Notice
----------------------

This program (written by Stuart Ford) and it's Help program (written by
Loring) are purely Public Domain as long as no code or data is changed in
any way.

Introduction
------------

If you're a programmer then you'll too probably find it a chore creating
application directories with all their various files, even before you've
started to write the program. So use this. Enter a leafname, choose your
options, drag and ... Presto! A brand new gleaming application, ready
to program - in seconds.

Instructions
------------

Load in the usual way by double clicking on the Filer icon. The main
window will appear at once, there is no icon bar icon as you'll probably
quit the program straight after you have used it.

Enter your application name, please ensure that it has a '!' in front of
it. If you're program has a fixed slot size, enter it and ensure that the
option is selected. If you're program has a variable slot size, enter both
the minimum and maximum values of your slot size

The remaining four options decide whether you want !Boot, !Help, !Run or
!Sprites files. The sprite file created is just a copy of this application's
Filer icon, but is easily changed.

Versions
--------

Version 1.00 works on RISC OS 2.
Version 1.01 works on RISC OS 3 (and I presume on RISC OS 2)
Version 1.02 provides min/max on slot size.
Version 1.03 entails minor presentation changes. But unfortunatly, it is only
  available to RISC OS 3 users. I urge you to upgrade to RISC OS 3 as it
  really is a superb Operating System and RISC OS 2 will go the same way
  Arthur 1.2 went all those years ago.
Version 1.04 features the redesigned multiscan sprite, which is supposed to
  be the Application icon surrounded in scalffolding.

*** VIRUS ALERT ***
-------------------

This program produces a maximum of two Obey files and a sprites file. This
means that because this program is written in BASIC, it is not difficult
to tamper with the program to spread viri to all new applications created
by it. Therefore I urge you to scan your hard disc frequently with one of
the many virus killers about. To protect this program, the files within
the application directory should be the following lengths:

       !Boot : 61 bytes
       !Run  : 81 bytes
       !RunImage : 5265 bytes
       !Sprites : 736 bytes

If they are not these lengths, check them very carefully. Beware of course:
there is nothing to stop a virus-pirate from changing this help file.
