           ReqChange is  a  program that makes the system use ReqTools
        (  Nico Franois) for requesters. The ReqTools requesters are
        much  nicer to use, and that is why I've written this program.
        The  icon's  Tooltypes  contains  all possible arguments (with
        some  of them commented out, by enclosing them in parenteses),
        set  to  the  default  values. ReqChange works on both OS 2.04
        and OS 1.2/1.3.  

           The Install  icon will install reqtools.library, ReqChange,
        ReqAsk  and GetFile if you want. ReqAsk and GetFile is used to
        interact  with  the user. Since GetFile and ReqAsk requires OS
        2.04  to run, these programs will not be used nor installed if
        you run the script under OS 1.2/1.3.  

           The Demo  icon  will  start  a little script that tests the
        ReqAsk  and GetFile programs. It also serves as a good example
        on  how these two programs work (the Install script is another
        example).  It  can  also  be used as a test to see the changes
        that ReqChange does.  

           The two  requester  programs (ReqAsk and GetFile) is placed
        in  the  public  domain.  They currently only operate under OS
        2.04.  Do  whatever you want with them. ReqChange on the other
        hand is  Copyright 1992 Magnus Holmgren.  

           Extra/GetEnv.Rexx is  an  example  script  on how to obtain
        the  contents  of  a global environment varible. This way it's
        possible  to  use  GetFile and ReqAsk from ARexx (you must use
        the  GLOBAL flag with ReqAsk and GetFile for this).  Note that
        the  example script should be called as a function, e.g.: "say
        getenv( kickstart )".  

           In the  drawer  named  Extra  you can find GetEnv.Rexx, the
        source  and  documentation  for GetFile and ReqAsk, as well as
        error  free  linker  libraries  to  access  ReqTools from DICE
        (LibSrc.Lha).
