 DragText v3.1 is the latest release of a distinctly different Desktop enhancement for OS/2 Warp.  Present almost everywhere   yet invisible until needed, DragText lets you do what others can't: Handle Text as an Object - Text in windows, files, and the clipboard becomes an object that can be copied, moved, saved or  deleted using drag & drop - and now, using pickup & drop as well  Access WPS Objects from Any Program - Treat a filename or Oject ID like a shadow of the object it names;  use a window's System Menu button as your link to the object that opened it.  Drag these objects or use their menus - you can navigate the  Desktop without opening a folder or even leaving your app DragText offers still more and different - including a "free gift" just for trying it:  DTProgram, a comprehensive  enhancement for program objects.  Set environment variables, customize its menus, and now in v3.1, schedule objects to open  on selected days or dates New users can put DragText v3.1 to the test during their 6-week free trial.  Continued use of its Extended features  (files, Urls, objects, etc.) costs only $20(US).  DragText's Basic features (d&d text and DTProgram) are yours free for  unlimited use.  And as always, upgrades are free for registered users, though reregistration is appreciated.

New in this Release

Here's a summary of DragText v3.1's new features and enhancements:
               
Pickup and Drop - Any window that lets you drag text now lets you pick it up too.  DragText makes a copy of the text, so you can edit or close the source window without affecting your "lazy drag"

Text Handling - At last, there's an easy way to copy the entire contents of a listbox (edit and command windows, too):  just Ctrl-drag, no highlighting needed.  Use this with windows whose text has always been hard to save, like the 'Status' window in slippm ("DOIP").               

DTProgram's Scheduler - Execute your programs automatically at real-world intervals:  daily, weekly, or monthly. Schedule objects to open, e.g.:  "every weekday", "on the last Friday f the month", "on the 15th", etc.  Plus, the initial run needn't be on schedule - it can be today or a year from  now.
              
WPS Links - Accessing the object that opened a window is simpler: just drag or click on its System Menu button without
pressing any keys.  If the object is a file, pressing Ctrl will link to the program being used to view it.
               
More

* DTProgram now lets you view and set a program object's Object ID. This is handy if you use REXX.

* DTClip's viewer provides new text separator options, an auto-paste feature, and a revised active statusbar.

* WPS Link Menus now display an object's path and their Locate feature is fully implemented:  the object will be selected and scrolled into view after its folder opens.
                 
* DT's WPS Text Links feature now searches more paths to locate objects named in text.  For dlls, DragText will use the LIBPATH from your config.sys.

* Bug fixes for problems with DTClip, DTProgram, VIO windows, intra-process memory leakage, and UniMaint   (now fully DT-enabled).
