Foxy v1.20

Foxy is a utility for !Voyager which puts a toolbar on the screen. By default this toolbar is grey and unobtrusive (as on the left). However when the mouse passes over it, it pops up and becomes 'alive' (as on the right).

<-- Greyed out <-- Alive (mouse over)

It provides (toolbar functions, top down):

Open Voyager's dial log.
Work out the cost of calling the Internet, with options to print a summary (roughly as seen in the window) or an itemised list where everything is costed.

Call coster window

Application to convert HTML to ASCII text with some attempt made to preserve the formatting of the text (ie, centred in the centre and lists indented).

Interface to the HTML-to-text convertor.

Remove unwanted URLs from Fresco's history file.
Display information on which blockdriver versions you have, and what serial settings Voyager is using.
Sign and/or encrypt files using PGP.
(you'll need to have the RiscOS port of PGP installed)
The packager archives files and/or directories using Spark or SparkFS. A future version will also include InfoZIP support.
News compactor will compact all the NewsAgent articles into a collection of files approximately 1.4Mb long, which archive much more quickly than thousands of tiny files.
Also can run NewsAgent without debatching, and invoke my FetchMail program.
Directory opener allows easy access to up to eight directories. Each directory can have a tag, so if "...!Voyager.Apps.News" is complicated then you can call it "News (incoming)".
The "X" quits !Foxy.

When Foxy is busy, an animated status (optional) pops up

Foxy is configurable
