Why you should use AutoCLI
--------------------------
Very briefly I would like to explain why you should
be using AutoCLI instead of other programs of the same
kind. AutoCLI was initially written due to problems with
other programs and the standard Shell. When a Shell or
CLI window is launched with other programs, they lose
important information that can make life much easier on
the Amiga. Most users set a path and stack in their
startup sequence, have you ever typed stack or path in
your CLI to see if infact they are the same as you set.
Chances are they are not. Does the program you are using
now allow you to always be in certain directory every time
you 'pop' it up?. AutoCLI retains all this information at
the time it is launched, so whatever your stack and path
were set at, and whatever directory you were CD'ed to at
the time AutoCLI was launched, will be passed to the CLI
or SHELL that it opens. AutoCLI also offers a default
SHELL auto size, that will always follow the size of the
current screen, so whatever you change the size to, AutoCLI
will open the window to 1 pixel less than that full size,
even if the screen size changes after AutoCLI is running.
1 pixel less, allows you to always go to the extreme bottom
or right and click, to activate the WB screen to give access
to the menus while still giving a full size Shell.
AutoCLI has been given all the functions that users have
requested, and has been tested on a large variety of Amiga
models and kickstart/WB versions. It is fully compatible
with V2.04 Kickstart/WB. The entire program is written in
assembly language to allow it to be faster than its 'C'
written rivals.
If you would like more information, please read the accompanying
doc file for AutoCLI.
If AutoCLI does not have your favourite function then contact
me and I will do my best to insert it for you. I can be
contacted in one of the following ways.
