  WinRemember


VERSION
  37.1


AUTHOR

REQUIREMENTS
  Any Amiga® (compatible) computer with at least OS2.04 and 68020+ cpu.


DESCRIPTION
  There are many people operating their Amiga mostly by keyboard sometimes,
  instead by mouse. I, as a programmer, belong to these people, because I have
  to switch between editor, several Shells and other windows very often. It is
  very annoying if you have to look for your mouse on your overflowing desk (as
  is mine :) just to activate a window on a newly brought to front screen.
  So I wrote WinRemember. It keeps a list of all currently opened screens and
  the active window on the screen when it was at the front the last time.
  Whenever you switch screens (either by mouse, keyboard or under program
  control) WinRemember will remember (hence the name) the window on the former
  front screen and activate the last active window on the new front screen. Thus
  you have nothing to do and you can continue you work without any interruption.
  Especially people using their Amiga mostly by keyboard will benefit from this
  behaviour, because they don't have to activate windows "by hand" anymore.

  You may now remember the program MagicCX, which has exactly the same function,
  and you are correct. I wrote WinRemember because 1) MagicCX is shareware, not
  freeware, 2) MagicCX patches more functions than necessary, even if you don't
  want a patch to be done. So it *may* produce a more unstable system than would
  expect.

  Nevertheless, in order to keep its internal lists up-to-date WinRemember has
  to install a few patches in your system, too. These are:

    intuition.library:
      OpenScreen()
      OpenScreenTagList()
      CloseScreen()
      ScreenToBack()  (OS2.x only)
      ScreenToFront() (OS2.x only)
      ScreenDepth()   (OS3.x only)
      CloseWindow()



USAGE
  You can start WinRemember from either Workbench or Shell. There are currently
  no options.
 
  You can start and quit WinRemember at any time. To quit WinRemember simply
  start it again.


INSTALLATION
  Copy WinRemember where ever you want, but SYS:WBStartup is a very good place


KNOWN BUGS
  - When the last active window on a screen has been closed meanwhile and you
    bring this screen to front again, WinRemember will activate the first window
    on that screen.

  - Windows must fullfil a few conditions to be activated. For example GoldED's
    clock window doesn't fullfil these conditions and will therefore never be
    activated. Unfortunately this can happen for any other window (which is
    nevertheless very unlikely to happen), for WinRemember will activate no
    window in the worst case, or not the window you would expect in the "normal"
    case.
