Description:

The program
===========

Simply a set of utilities.
Over the time I have required to certain tasks that have
required a little program to do this task.  These little
programs have built up over the time and I decided to
put them all together, hench !Utility.

Enclosed also is a little module with a couple of SWI's
I have also written.

Firstly load up the program, it will appear on the icon
bar just right to the palette icon.

Press MENU (Middle button) on the icon (A red rectangle)
and the menu will open up.

Each menu item and it's section will be explained below

Inkey
=====
When selected the inkey window will open up.  Any keys
pressed and the relevant negative inkey value will be
displayed in the window.

Convert SWI
===========
This window allows you to change a SWI name to it's
number and vice versa.  If the SWI is documentated
in the RISC OS 3 PRM's then it's book number and page
number will be displayed in the icon below the
SWI number.  The left/right arrows alters the SWI
number.

Free Memory
===========
This window shows the amount of free memory the machine
has.  To move the window about simply drag the window
by dragging anywhere in the window.

Time
====
This window shows the current time.  To move it do the
same for the Free Memory window.

Icon Spy
========
The window allows you to "spy" on windows and icons.
To determine if you are going to spy on windows 
or/and icons press MENU on the icon spy window.  Select
the appropiate part.  To start spying select Active to
be on.

Lock Position
=============
This will lock the position of the free and time windows.

Save Status
===========
This will save the state of the windows, ie. whether they
are open or not and their position.

=======
This will after 5 seconds spin down drive 4 to 7 and the
screenblank on.

icon with either the left or right button.
