reqtools.library is a standard Amiga shared, runtime library.  The purpose
of ReqTools is to make it a lot quicker and easier to build standard
requesters into your programs. ReqTools is designed with Commodore's style
guidelines in mind, all requesters have the look-and-feel of AmigaDOS
Release 2.

ReqTools features the following requesters: a query requester, a string
requester, a number requester, a file requester, a font requester, a
palette requester, a volume requester and a screenmode requester.

Also included are RTPatch (1.4) and RexxReqTools (1.3):

RTPatch is a small program that will re-route functions from most popular
requester libraries to ReqTools. Libraries currently supported are Arp, Req
and Asl. RTPatch will also patch some functions in Intuition to give you
improved system requesters.

RexxReqTools gives ARexx users easy access to a large family of requesters.
All requesters are easy to use; they require one or no arguments. But the
requesters also have a lot of power through several optional arguments and
through tagstrings. RexxReqTools itself doesn't implement any of these
requesters, it is a link between ARexx and ReqTools.

  RELEASE 2.6 (Library version 38.1413)

  Forgot to update the proto include file in 2.5.
  The ReqTools preferences program got wrong (localized) strings
    sometimes.
  The file requester still did not show all volumes (but the volume
    requester sometimes did). I also realized that this change in the
    volume listing code means that the VREQF_ALLDISKS flags doesn't
    work. A workaround would be possible (for most disks at least), but
    is it really worth it?
  Fixed a bug in the volume listing code, that could cause an incorrect
    device name to be added to the volume name (if the dol_Task was NULL).
  E-version of the demo included.
  The color wheel didn't have its initial color right. Seems like
    WHEEL_HSB doesn't work on ON_NEW...
  Added soft link support to the file requester. Note that hooks need to
    read the link themselves.
  Russian translation added.
  Updated Installer script to make use of some new features.
  The palette requester would try to load the color wheel, and cause
    Enforcer hits (or worse), when the wheel shouldn't be displayed.
  The screen depth gadget in the screen mode requester didn't always
    behave properly. Also added some safety checks.
  The palette requesters copy and spread gadgets didn't work properly.
    Made a silly mistake when adding the mode indicator in the window
    title. ;)
  The copy and spread gadgets in the palette requesters didn't work
    properly. Made a silly mistake when adding the mode indicator in the
    window title. ;)
  The color wheel gadget will now always render in monochrome state, to
    minimize the impact on the screen in question.
