Got it working. Wharf1.4.5.55 actually works just like wharf1.1. I changed inittab and
rebooted to monitor the console (xconsole didn't do it for me). Wharf was complaining that no
buttons were defined but they were defined in G/L/A/wharf. For kicks, I copied the first folder
from my Wharf1.1 and pasted under my "Module newWharf" section. After changing the Wharf
refernces from *Wharf to *newWharf and changing "Folder" to "Folders" it started up and seems to
be working fine.
Now to config....
Thanks for your help.
So to sum up for any other interested parties (if anyone is still using v1.1)...
Using Wharf v1.4.5.55 with ASv1.1
1. Place it with your other v1.1 modules (or edit ModulePath in your .steprc
to include its location) and call it something like myWharf. Remember
you can't append stuff to the end like Wharf2 or Wharf_i_am since the parser
doesn't pick this up.
2. Start a new section in your .steprc file:
Module myWharf
3. Configure to taste. Your configuration options will be different, read the
new wharfs documentation. Be sure to reference your new wharf correctly.
For example:
*myWharfFullPush
*myWharfColumns 1
*myWharfAnimate
*myWharfAnimateMain
One difference is that you use the word "Folders" (plural) to define a folder,
not "Folder" as with v1.1
4. Get some "Style". Don't forget to copy the Style line for Wharf and change
the name to "myWharf".
Style "myWharf" NoFocus,NoHandles,Sticky,StaysOnTop,WindowListSkip
5. Enjoy the new and improved features.
