For Your Information 1.0

1998,1999 G. S. Schapiro

FYI prints a text and offers two buttons: to cancel or run an external command.


Command Line Paramameters:

FYI "program" "line1" "line2" "line3" ...

program is the program to run (can contain parameters)

lineX is added to the text window.

OR:

FYI "program" /@TEXTFILE

where program is the program to run

TEXTFILE contains the text to display.

Notes:

The text is displayed left or right justified depending on the majority of
letters in the first line. More Hebrew letters -> right justified; more English
letters -> left justified.

The scrollbar is added if there are more than 12 lines text. On systems with
non-standart font-sizes, the scrollbar might not appear even though there are
lines outside the window or the scrollbar might appear even though all lines
fit into the window.

The "program" parameter must be shorter than 255 characters

If FYI crashes try to reduce the text passed to it by command line. Use /@
option instead. This seems to be a Windows problem (Unix isn't so shaky about
command line length :-).

If you want to compile FYI yourself and don't have Jim Tyson's nwlib, replace
alertBox, okBox etc with the apporpriate call to MessageBoxEx :-)
