Short: Library for easily sending URL->Browser
Author: troels@stud.cs.uit.no (Troels Walsted Hansen)
Uploader: troels@stud.cs.uit.no (Troels Walsted Hansen)
Type: comm/www
Introduction
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
This library was created to make it easier for application programmers to
include clickable URLs in their applications, about windows, etc. Current
solutions to this problem typically are to launch an ARexx script or just
support a few webbrowsers, with no room for configuration. This leads to
countless reinventions of the wheel (how many SendURLToBrowser.rexx scripts
do you have on your harddisk?).
This library solves the problem by giving application programmers a very
simple API to handle (one function) and the user gets configurability with
the included preference program.
NOTE: I like and use MUI, therefore the included preference program uses
MUI. This library is meant to be completely universal though, so
programmers preferring other GUI engines are encouraged to program
their own preference editor and send it to me, I'll happily include it.
Requirements
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
· AmigaOS 2.0 or higher.
· MUI 3.8 or higher, for the preference program only.
Features
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
· Sends URL by ARexx if your browser is launched, if not, the library will
launch the browser.
· Configuration supports a list of installed browsers, no Wind*ws "default
browser" nonsense.
· Extremely simple API for applications.
· Complete source included for your enjoyment.
