MiniMen v1.1 (C) 1995-99 Lorence Lombardo. This program is `FreeWare'.
lory@subdimension.com
Usage: MiniMen <filename>
MiniMen ? for info
If no file name is given it will then default to `S:MiniMen.data'.
Programed in 95, couple of bugs removed between that time.
Document & examples last updated on the 3rd March 2000.
Check the file date stamps for some history :)
What the #@&* is MiniMen ?
MiniMen is a GUI menu program which was designed to be used in script files,
supporting up to 165 user defined buttons.
Before you can use MiniMen you need to create a data file containing the
title, button names & button function with your favorite text editor.
The first line in the data file will be the title which will be
displayed in the MiniMen window. The next line(s) will be the button name
& button function.
eg. OPUS|sys:utilities/DOpus
The text before the "|" will be the button name (ie. OPUS). The text after
the "|" will be the button function (ie. sys:utilities/DOpus)
When you select the "OPUS" button "sys:utilities/DOpus" will be stored as
a variable in ENV:. That variable being $MinMen.
See files "drives" & "progs" in this archive for examples of how to create
a MiniMen data file.
See script files "DMSX" & "Launch" as examples of how to use MiniMen in a
script.
The DMSX script is a script file which can be used to extract DMS
archives & can be easily adapted to be used with a directory utility by
removing the file requestor part of the script. The script could be
activated by double clicking on the selected DMS file with the directory
utility.
See the DMSP, TransADF(X/P), Dimp(P/X) & MultiDX scripts for more examples.
The DMSP & TransADF(X/P) scripts, require the DMS executable & the latest
version of TransADF to be in the current path respectively.
The latest version of TransADF can be found on the aminet in the archive
TransADF.lha. You can also adapt these scripts for PackDev on the aminet
in the archive PackDev1_9.lha.
MiniMen was programed as an exercise in GUI & Menu programing, but I ended
up finding several uses for it.
Check out archive "MENU.zip" as a bonus program.
The end.......
CYA..........!
