Program Box version 2.0
Copyright (C) 1998, Perspective group
What is it, if you have never seen?
It's just an unusual boot, which served as the prototype
"pisishnaya" Shell Windows.
Now about the program
Nothing but run other programs
Program Box v2.0 (on PB) can not
(Perhaps that could not yet), so that
do not flatter yourself.
Program Management
- Kempston mouse (originally off, since they say that on
some machines not working)
- Kempston joy
- Sinclair joy (right)
- Cursor (that's only a pity that the program by using it
you can not run)
- QAOP, space
Shortcuts and more
1). BREAK - break the disk.
2). BREAK / EDIT / right click -
if the window is open, then close it,
some other cases, work as
'ESCAPE'.
3). R / Middle mouse button - change
disc.
4). ENTER (if you closed all the windows and
enabled Cursor) - the opening of the first working windows.
5). S. SHIFT / RIGHT mouse button -
when you hover over the icon to any program or icon of arrows
(and their hold, ie withholding S. SHIFT 'or a
Right-click), are used to change
coordinates of the object that you are "hooked".
6). Cursor left / right - switching
pages, if the disk has more than 12 programs in a window or
icon selection for BADGES files.
7). Fire / Left mouse button - performance options or
program's launch.
Will further explain the complex for
moments of understanding in working with the PB, with simple,
hope you and will understand. As they say in such cases: we
understand it as 2 bytes to send.
WINDOW: Background
Arrow up / down - the icon
who will fill the screen.
Options icon / picture - define
that will be the backdrop, or an icon or a downloadable image.
Image name - enter the name of his
pictures, and the next time PB load
it, unless, of course, do not forget to save
installation. If the pictures on the disc does not, then
background will be black screen.
WINDOW: Icons
Arrow left / right - icon selection (any of the 24) for
the current file.
Arrow up / down - the current file.
Rename - change the file name. Option is rarely needed,
except those cases where you want to run
files whose names begin with a lowercase letter, for example,
boot.
The tick / cross - indicates present or not the current
file in this moment on the disc.
New icons - a separate window, allowing you to change the
image of any (Or all) of the icon.
Private moments
Preservation of plants - remains
Your chosen control, color border,
name will automatically download pictures,
coordinates, names and images of all
icons. Saving is "in itself",
ie, a file PB, so do not change
disk from which you run PB.
Mouse speed (Mouse speed) - the choice
suitable for you mouse speed. Often
total rate depends not only on this
options, but also on the type of the mouse itself. We,
such as a mouse on a PC the "Search", and for us
best rate close to
maximum.
What should know ProgramBokser 2.0
1). The number of icons that you will
"Hook" to the files is limited to
24. Therefore, if you have to drive more
24 programs, you have to paint the standard icons for different
programs. For example, all one and the copyist same icon.
2). PB can be "taught" to recognize
128 files (unless of course you do not get bored
to enter all those names manually). But when
frequent changes of drive in PB "memory for learned the names
of" lost.
3). It is not necessary to change the image of the first
icon (question mark), since this icon assigned to all "unknown"
files. If necessary, draw
his own, which you will be more understandable.
4). Sometimes you want to close one
window and close everything and update the screen. Do not
worry, this is not a "bug" (and not "Bug"). Just something is
changed, and PB shows it to you.
5). To not use the key
ENTER to open the first working windows
you can press the "fire" in the upper left corner
screen.
6). Background picture can be as
packaged, and standard, ie,
6912 bytes.

IF YOU $ = "LAMER" GO TO SCHOOL
IF YOU $ = "PIRATE" THEN PUSH RESET!
WHO ARE YOU?
Information for programmers
1). If you load the picture is less
27 sectors, PB "thinks" it's packed picture, and after her
load, makes CALL 35000. So now instead of the image itself can
write procedures for filling the screen. Just to make the
assembler ORG 35000 and all!
2). Memory with the 32338 to 35000 is free, so you can
write something on Second interruption (see how to do it
accompanying source code), only when you
of them do not forget to put the JP 56. In
Basically, you can connect the music to the PB.
But you can write and do something more cunning,
Think what are we?
3). Now you can empower PB! For example, you can insert a
copyist or formatting disks or all together. How to do it
(although not copyist) see file-source
'GREETZ! '.
4). All empowerment made through loadable image. Of
course, it's inconvenient, but we think it is worth order, and
who knows, maybe after a while we see Program Box Commander!
5). All the empowerment of you
will see in the 'Other'!

The kit
- PB v2.0 - about what exactly the point.
- Pb2help - interestingly, this is not
file you're reading?
* - Stars, line_rnd, sign_rnd,
attr_rnd - placeholder screen.
* - Sky_im2 - stars in the second interruption.
* - Ay_im2 - AY sound for when you open windows.
* - Scrsaver - bodyguard of the screen.
* - C_select - (Colors selector) adjust the colors in the PB.
* - Cursor - change of the cursor.
* - Shadow + - font editor, the version that is written
specifically for PB v2.0.
* - Greetz! - To say hello to.
* - Many beautiful backgrounds.
# - AY_IM2 - source. It is proposed
to understand how to write something on
Second interrupt for PB v2.0.
# - SCRSAVER - source. Similarly,
the previous one.
# - GREETZ! - Sources. It is proposed
to understand how to empower
PB v2.0.
* - Automatically loadable files
(If you so wish, of course). The name of any of them specify
the option 'Image name' sohraniete installation and restart PB.
# - All the sources in a format ZXASM 3.0.
