Stickable Apps and Velcro [1]

My !Velcro [3] application has been upgraded.

It uses a command 'stick <app>' for sticking an application to the iconbar. To be stickable an application must have a sprite in a !Spritesxx file and an 'info' template in a Templates file. It can also have !Drag, !Select and !Adjust Obey files to determine what happens when its iconbar icon is dragged to or clicked on. !Velcro is a stickable application that sticks itself to the iconbar when run and whose !Drag file simply sticks dragged objects. The download archive also contains a directory of three example stickable applications.

Stickables let you make simple wimp programs that respond to clicks on and drags to the iconbar icon, without having to do more than write an Obey file.
