Kurz:     Liest Textausschnitte und konvertiert diese zu Eingabe-Ereignissen

Transmitter  is  a program that will allow you to paste or append text-strings
into almost any Intuition-object that interacts with user-inputs.
The  main  play  field of Transmitter is to read text-clips from the clipboard
device  and  to  convert  these text-strings back into input events - ready to
use by these already mentioned Intuition-objects.
For  example,  you have copied a text-string using your favourite text-editor.
This  text-string  is  normally  stored as text-clip under the name "0" in the
clipboard device.
Transmitter  is  now able to read this text-clip and convert each character of
this  text-string  back into an input-event. If you have for example a console
window  open,  you  can  paste  this  converted  text-string into this console
window, by means of Transmitter supported key-stroke.

I'm  using  Transmitter  mostly  to paste texts into Intuition-objects that do
not  originally  support  the  paste command: e.g. really old programs and the
basic Intuition string and number gadgets.

Transmitter  has  got also a so called AppIcon which is shown on the Workbench
-  and which will allow you to drop an other icon over this AppIcon. Therewith
Transmitter  starts  to  convert  this  icon-name into input-events who can be
directly  pasted into other Intuition-objects. Of course the name of this icon
will  be saved by Transmitter to the clipboard, too, allowing further use e.g.
with text-editors.

If  you  are a programmer, you can send text-strings to Transmitter or receive
them from Transmitter.

I  guess  that  similar  programs  already  have been published - but I cannot
remember  their  names,  for example: "C. Scheppner" has written such a tool a
long  time  ago - but please do not ask me how it had been called nor where to
find it.

Transmitter  requires  at  least  OS  2  and if available, utilizes OS 3.5 and
later operating systems - in order to save the correct icon image.

Currently  I  have  only  tested  Transmitter  under  OS  3.0  and 3.9. If you
encounter  problems  using  Transmitter and you are able to fix them yourself,
please  do  so  and  place  the  modified object and source files (combined as
archive)  directly  over  the  top  of this existing (Transmitter.lha). In the
other case send me an email.

It  goes  without  saying that you are allowed to improve Transmitter although
it  is  released  as  free-ware, otherwise I certainly would not have enclosed
the source-code!


By the way: All use is at your own risk.
