patchdet-0.1
--------------

---

'patchdet' allows to detect patches in the system, it is mainly useful
when patch must be started with 'run'.

---

NOTES:

Requires 68000+, OS 2.04+, 1+ KiB bytes of free memory, 'SaferPatches'.

Proggy can be made resident.

Allows to print patches as well.

Names are case insensitive.

Some patches not necessarily install with their cli name, so before
using this proggy dump the list and check out manually with what
they sit on the patch list!

Also, some patches pretend to be handled by ramlib, yes this sucks,
quite undetectable(shall i add offset search?).

---

USAGE:
  
   template: patchdet <patchername/a> [print/s] [time/n]

---

EXAMPLES:

   ; check if patch is in the system
   patchdet patchprog
   if not warn
     echo "no such patch master!"
   endif    

   ; run patch and wait for it 10 seconds
   run >nil: patchprog
   patchdet patchprog 10
   if not warn
     echo "patchprog didnt start!"
   endif

   ; check out visually if patch is in the system
   patchdet patchprog print

   ; dump list of all patches
   patchdet #? print
