Short: Closes Intuition windows via a hotkey Author: bybell@cse.psu.edu (Tony Bybell) Uploader: bybell cse psu edu (Tony Bybell) Type: util/wb Architecture: m68k-amigaos This short little utility patches the IE eventlist so that window closing events may also be signaled in terms of *other* events. The upshot of this is that you can define key combinations to close windows on the screen. Currently, the file "IESupport.a" is set up to use a CTRL-\ combination. You may change this to whatever you like--just make sure you use the right IECLASS and IEQUALIFIERB values. (They can be found in the include files for your compiler/assembler.) Note that you can patch other events as well--f.e., use this to emulate a middle mouse button. To compile this, simply run the .c file--it'll take care of the rest. (at least it does under my ancient SAS C compiler ;) To install, insert a line like run nil: c:WinCloser into your s:user-startup. To kill the patch, run it again and the new copy will signal the old one and kill it. This program is very stable--I've been using it for the past 3 years with no problems on my A4000. Have fun! 26nov96 tony
