Läufer Version 1.09
---------------------
A program for running more programs
╜ Blintzer Butane III
If you are me you are finding that you are having many programs
what will not all fit on your desktop. If this is so I will think
you will find Läufer useful as it will allow you to put programs
you cant fit on the desktop into it and then Läufer will run them
for you !
I must tell you that you are using Läufer at only a risk to you
if something is not right when you use it. You must agree to this or
you can not use it. This is called a disclaimer. It means that I am
not responsible for physical or mental damage when you use it.
If you are not accepting FULLY the results of your actions and saying
that I am not responsible, then you can not use Läufer. I have not
known of any troubles but cant tell what you are doing, so I must
say this.
BOXS
----
When you look at the boxs that are empty you will know they are for
programs to be in. You will then click a right maus button until a
file selector is open. This makes you select a program and so it comes
to be in the box. Also, a box program will also be replaced if you
file select another program to be in the box. You will then come to
save LAUFER.DAT when you are done.
LOAD
----
When you are clicking LOAD you are telling Läufer to file select a
LAUFER.DAT file. You are also saving Läufer files to other names
and this is ok. However, Läufer will load only a file LAUFER.DAT
when it runs by itself. Because of this LAUFER.DAT must be where
LAUFER.PRG is so Läufer finds it.
SAVE
----
Now you click SAVE and file select LAUFER.DAT. This is a file we
have talked of and so you must choose. If you are having a full
LAUFER.DAT you will make a new file name which is ok.
SORT
----
Now if you cant see a file you will make them like a alphabet by
clicking on a SORT button. You must also save a LAUFER.DAT before
ending so the alphabet can stay.
RETURN
------
So if you want Läufer to come back when a program is done you will
click on RETURN which will stay on. This button must also be in
LAUFER.DAT to stay on or off. If you are not using return you are
using the desktop instead.
If a program says GEM must clean a screen Läufer can not. So now
you must go to a desktop to fix this. After this you will go back
to Läufer.
INFO
----
This tells you about Läufer.
HELP
----
This helps you remember things.
WARN
----
This makes alerts appear before you will do something.
EXIT
----
This makes Läufer go away.
INSTALL APPLICATION
-------------------
This is so you will make file names go to programs which can work
as a install application. Instead you will give the file name to
Läufer so Läufer will make the file name go to a program you
will choose.
If you have the NeoDesk you will "drop" the file name on top of
LAUFER.PRG. If you have a GEM desktop you will use a install
application to make a "document type".
When this is done it will make LAUFER.PRG run. So Läufer appears
you will see cmd: A:\FILENAME.INF appear over Läufer. This will
be the file name you have send to Läufer from a desktop.
Now you will press a [CONTROL] key and a left maus on a program which
will know this file name. Läufer will make this program run and know
about the file name. If the program knows of this file name it will
load it, or else it wont.
You can see in your manual how a application is installed or becomes
a NeoDesk active icon to do more of this.
PROGRAMS PATH
-------------
Hold a [CONTROL] key and right maus button on a program box to
know the full "path" of a programs file name.
UNCLEMAUS
---------
Läufer is also support the UncleMaus CURsor file standard ! If you
are having LAUFER.CUR where is LAUFER.PRG you are having custom maus !
All CURsor you make must have a name LAUFER.CUR so Läufer will know
it. The LAUFER.CUR here is of a GEM arrow.
NACHWORT
--------
I guess you know everything now. I have only a STe so I am hoping it
will work for you.
This program is FREEWARE and not Public Domain. You are free to use
it without obligations but I must still own it, so you can not make it
yours.
I would like that you can share this with people you will meet. I am
asking that you are not selling this program as it is not allowed.
You are able to include it so that it does not cost anything to a
person who gets it. I would also like for it to have these file names
with it.
LAUFER .PRG - The program
LAUFER .DAT - The configuration file.
LAUFER .TXT - This is what you are reading.
LAUFER .CUR - UncleMaus maus cursor file.
I would also thank many people who have shared what they know with me
on the bulletin board !!!
