GetPubName V1.4 Documentation
=============================
Programm and Documentation © Copyright 1992 by Michael `Mick' Hohmann.
IMPORT StdDisclaimer; (* in short: use it at your own risk *)
GetPubName was carefully tested, but there's certainly plenty of room for
bugs.
GetPubName V1.4 is Freeware, non-commercial distribution is o.k. as long as
the following conditions are met:
* Source, executable and documentation must be distributed together
(GetPubName.mod, MoreIntuition.mod, GetPubName, GetPubName.doc and
GetPubName.dok), and these files must be intact (you're not allowed to
make changes).
* Disk librarians: you may charge no more than the current price
of a single AmigaLibDisk from Fred Fish
GetPubName requires AmigaOS V37 or later (that's 2.04 or later).
Purpose
=======
GetPubName returns the Name of the frontmost PubScreen either to StdOut,
or if specified to a global/local Environment-Variable.
The main usage is supposed to be in conjunction with other programs,
that need a PubScreenName, and the BackTick "`". E.g. I call the C=
Calculator from my ToolManager-Hotkey-DockWindow with:
"Calculator PUBSCREEN=`GetPubName`"
The Calculator will open on the frontmost PubScreen, like the
Hotkey-DockWindow itself.
Usage
=====
GetPubName [ENV | ENVIRONMENT name] [LOC | LOCAL] [HELP]
HELP
----
Displays a short help message.
ENV | ENVIRONMENT name
-----------------------
If you specify a name GetPubName will write the PubScreenName to an
Environment-Variable.
LOC | LOCAL
-----------
If you specify this switch together with a name, GetPubName will write
the PubScreenName to a local Environment-Variable.
Example: GetPubName PubScreenName
will save the name of the frontmost PubScreen to the global
Environment-Variable "PubScreenName"
