This program is based on the look and feel of EcoDisk, but it's written
in C under Reaction. Classes are handled somewhat like ClassAction, but
with some differences. The main window has a left and a right listview,
the selected  list  is the  source  drawer,  while  the opposite is the
destination. Each litview has five tabs, that can work in the same time
as the program is multitask. Just try to launch a copy in two tabs, and
select another tab to understand : you can continue to work...

There is a problem with the listbrowser gadget I couldn't solve : if you
click in an empty listview there is no event generated by the system, so
it's impossible to know what you did. Use the middle mouse button,  it's
correctly handled... This is a problem to select the active listview. If
someone knows the solution, please let me know.

You can use the ESC key  to interrupt a copy,  move or delete operation,
if the source tab is active.

This new version corrects some bugs and add some new features :
    - class handler now accept generic char *.
    - New button ':' (Root, near parent button).
    - Best HEXA window handler (thank to Javier de las Rivas for his bug
report,
javierdlr@jazzfree.com)
    - spanish catalog (Javier de las Rivas, javierdlr@jazzfree.com)
    - New comment button
    - New source/destination bar (to see the active side)
    - New french guide (uncomplete, no prefs), help handler (for menus), bubble
help (buttons)
    - Changing screen mode bug removed
    - New copy buffer size preferences
    - New logo (thank to HUNOPPC <nouvel.hugues@wanadoo.fr>)

Installation :
    Just copy the AmiDisk drawer in the SYS:utilities drawer. Then delete
    the files you don't need (catalogs, icons, guide, logo...)
    You can keep only AmiDisk, AmiDisk.info and AmiDisk.prefs if you want.
    I suggest you don't copy the prefs file if you want to keep your old
    preferences, you can then load the new and the old prefs file with a
    text editor, and merge them like you want.

Icons :
    The AmiDisk icon has been designed by David Vignoni
(http://www.icon-king.com)
    for KDE, I have only adapted it for the Amiga.
    A drawer has been added with some contributions, by
        - Rev. Bloedel <revbloedel@yahoo.com>
        - HUNOPPC <nouvel.hugues@wanadoo.fr>
    You can replace the AmiDisk icon, by any of them.
    The icon can have a LOGO tooltype to handle the display of the logo at
    startup. Just type LOGO=0 to have no logo, or delete the AmiDiskLogo.jpg
    file. The number after the = sign, gives the time of the display (number
    of intuiticks), but you can click in the window to stop it before the
    time delay expires.

Bugs :
    The USB mass storage device have a bug (even after update 3) : if you
    copy a big file with a large buffer, the program locks. A buffer size
    of 32768 bytes is recommended, it doesn't crash (on my system). Larger
    size can be used for CD ROM or hard disks, copy will be faster (1 MB
    is good).

Don't ask me for improvements for the moment,  I only want to remove the
bugs  before adding  some other functions,  but let me know if it works,
please; sending me a little mail. I hope I'll add bubble help in the prefs
window too.

Enjoy,

    Roland.
