changezz.readme
changezz will change the default zz balloon on workbench to the word BUSY.
I've tested it fairly extensively (that means it was set up for a few days
while I did other work), and I can't think of any reasons why there should
be any problems with it, but I make no warranties regarding it's fitness for
any purpose whatsoever.
It will run on versions 1.1 and 1.2 of KickBench, although I'd bet big money
it won't run on 1.3.
It must be run after WorkBench is loaded, and will take effect the next time
the WorkBench becomes busy.
I'm not proud of the sprite I've substituted, and if anyone cares to suggest
a better image, I'd consider changing it, or maybe even read the sprite from
a file in the next(?) version.

DevAvail.readme
This is a simple yet hopefully usefull program I generated in response to a
need to check for the availability of a system device in my startup-sequence.
I compiled it with Lattice 3.03 so it is HUGE! If someone feels this program
deserves a smaller size then give it one, PLEASE!

QMouse.readme
QMouse Instructions
I got this program off plink and I hope these instructions help
you more than theirs helped me. For this to work QMOUSE must be in
your C: directory.
Qmouse checks to see if the left mouse button is down and returns an
error code of 8 if it is and 0 if it is not. As you know, there are three
catagories of error codes as follows:
a) 4 or less is not an error
b) 5 to 9 is a WARNing
c) 10 to 19 is an ERROR
d) 20 or more is a FAIL (variable with FAILAT command)
Anyway, if you check the sample startup-sequence (called STARTUP)
you will see how it works. First we print the desired message 'Hold down
left mouse button if you want (or don't want)' some action. The next line
is a WAIT command (to give you time to press the button). Then the magic
QMOUSE which checks the status of the left button. And last, the
conditional execution statement(s).
Notice the statement IF WARN or IF NOT WARN. You can think of these as
IF BUTTON DOWN or IF BUTTON NOT DOWN to make it easier to follow. The
statement IF WARN is used if you want the action performed ONLY IF the
left mouse button is being held. The statement IF NOT WARN is used if
you want the action UNLESS the left mouse button is down.
Then what action you would like done if the button is down or not down
ELSE
what you would like done on the other hand.
ENDIF (you need one of these for each IF statement)
This works great for me and I hope you like it too. It is more
flexible than the INQUIRE or RETURN commands because it will continue to
execute whether you hold the button or not whereas the others will STOP
until you hit return or respond to the (Y/N) prompt.
ENJOY,
R. D. <Tom> Thomas

touch.readme
I retrieved the `touch' code from USENET as posted by Phil Lindsay of CBM
Amiga Developer Support, and compiled it using Manx 3.4a(Patch V1.3) 32-bits.
Touch usage:
CLI> TOUCH filename
which uses the AmigaDOS packets to change the creation date of `filename'
to the present date and time. The example code in `touch.c' could be used
as the basis for a new filecopy routine that preserves the original file's
creation date and time.
