SelectIt v1.01
written by Martin Platt 20th March 1993
About.
------
Written in assembler using Devpac 2 & 3
Selectit allows you to run programs from floppy and hard disk by
clicking on one of the window's boxes. It allows easy access to
applications without the need to click on a dozen workbench icons
before you can find the program you need to run.
If you have a hard disk (or floppy come to that) you can place
a call to SelectIt in your startup-sequence and providing you
have setup the necessary SelectIt.mcp file, you're presented
with a window of options (programs) to choose from.
Click once on any of the 24 boxes and you'll be launched into
that particular application.
Setup.
------
Place SelectIt in your C directory on the startup disk.
Create a file named SelectIt.mcp and place in your S directory.
The SelectIt.mcp file can be created using ED or any word
processor and should be placed in the logical device S:
The format should follow that given below:
First line:
Word Processor ;<---- Descripton of program (max 20 chars)
;Second line:
df0:utils/Textplus ;<--- Program name including full path.
; (max 40 characters)
;Third line:
My Comms proggy ;<--- Description
;Fourth line:
df0:Comms/Ncomm ;<--- Path & prog. name
;etc.............
Multitasking can be achieved by inserting 'Run' prior to
path and prog. name. eg.
run df0:utils/Textplus
Useage.
------
Run from the CLI by typing SelectIt <Return>.
Note.
-----
Because SelectIt uses certain Dos commands to run your applications,
these commands must be available to the program. For example, if you
'Run df0:Amigabasic' ,the 'Run' command must be in the C directory of
your boot disk. If you 'Type df0:My.doc' , the 'Type' command must be
in the C directory etc...
If you have not created a file named 'SelectIt.mcp' in the S directory
of your boot disk, SelectIt will not run.
Ensure the path and program you specify exist!
