TITLE

     InfraRexx
     (and InfraJoy hardware design)

VERSION

     1.7
     (and InfraJoy version 4.0b)

RELEASE DATE

     21-Oct-95

DESCRIPTION

     The InfraRexx software along with the InfraJoy hardware serve as
     an ARexx-Infrared interface, that adds the function of an infrared
     remote controller to your Amiga, and more.

     With this software and hardware you can:

       o Control external audio/video devices via ARexx commands.
       o Control Amiga programs via a common remote control unit.
       o Learn and edit new remote control infrared commands.

     For example you can control a moduleplayer via your compact
     disc player remote control unit. Or, control your video tape
     recorder via a graphic user interface or an ARexx script.

     The main features are:

       o Seperate editor (with learner) and ARexx host commodity.
       o Multitasking-friendly infrared sampling monitor, with very
         low system overhead during monitoring; can also be disabled.
       o Font-sensitive, style-compliant graphic user interface.
       o Supports localization under Workbench 2.1 (or better).
       o Uses AmigaOS 3.x functions and gadtools features if present.
       o Modular lowcost hardware for joystickport, with throughput.
       o Uses the Amiga Installer Utility to install onto (hard)disk.

CHANGES

       o Sizeable main window.
       o Added Commodore CDTV codeset.
       o Added codeset for Reflex television.
       o Added codeset for Samsug video cassette recorder.
       o Several small bugfixes and optimalizations.

SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS

       InfraRexx needs at least AmigaOS version 2.04, and the commodity
       needs RexxMast to be running in order to be useful. The software
       is useless without the small InfraJoy hardware add-on, off which
       the design and full building instructions are included. The
       hardware can also be ordered from one of the authors.
