Is there a program that will iconify another program currently running? Something I can run and then point at the other programs window and iconify it? ` Thanks, John Maver

There is an iconfication library by, if I remember correctly, Leo Shwab (sp?). It works great, and provides true iconification, not just toggling between two window sizes. There are three methods for iconification, including using a bitmap you supply, and making an "animated icon". Its really easy to use from a programming standpoint. This library works very well. So much so, in fact, that I have always wished C= would pick it up as a supported part of the OS. - steve

I believe SmartIcon which can be found on Fish Disk #316 will do what
you want.
It addeds another gadget to the window between the front to back
gadgets. When you click on this gadget it iconifies the window and
places the title in a small window which it opens up. When you want
to un-iconify the window, just kick on the the title in the smarticon
window. I have been using this for several months now and it seems to
work great.

I've got a nice little program that sticks a new "iconify" gadget inbetween the "click to front" and "click to back" gadget. The program is called "SmartIcon", and I've got V2.0 (there may be a later version, 2.0's at least a year old). It's public domain, and the author asks a $15 contribution. I've seen earlier versions on various Fish disks, so if your interested, check there first... -- Dave Schaumann | Is this question undecidable? dave@cs.arizona.edu |

If the machine is only 3 months old, you should be able to take it back to the dealer for (free) warrantee repair, since it comes with a year warrantee. You can also call Commodore Express. They'll pick it up (free) and fix it. I don't have the number handy. Dan Zerkle zerkle@iris.eecs.ucdavis.edu (916) 754-0240 Amiga... Because life is too short for boring computers.
