RequestList v1.1.


RequestList is a little utility designed to complement the Commodore
utilities, 'RequestChoice' and 'RequestFile', primarily of use in AmigaDos
shell scripts or AREXX scripts.

The programs displays a requester containing a list of text items, taken
from a file you specify when you run it. When the user selects one of the
text items by clicking on it, the line number or the item text for that
entry will be printed to stdout (so it's very convenient to redirect the
output of RequestList to an environment variable).


New features in version 1.1:

        RequestList now only makes a single pass through the specified
        file to make its text list. This means that it can be used with
        devices that do not support file seeking (for example, the PIPE
        device, and the FTPMount utility).

        RequestList is now fully font sensitive.

        Added new parameters: FULL, WIDTH, HEIGHT and LINES.
