- TAUI - The Archives User Interface
-
- ************************************
-
- TAUI is a short program that gives you
- a Magic User Interface for your lharc.
- TAUI uses MUI (the Magic User Interface),
- (c) Stefan Stuntz.
- (Though, Stefan, could you tell me why
- to install the 2.0 includes to get
- the program run under MUI 2.0 ???)
- It should work with your lharc, though I
- have just tried lha yet. Every archives
- action is configured thru Tooltypes, so
- you can use any lharc.
-
- Thanx to Stefan Stuntz for the MUI !
- (Sorry Stefan, haven't registered yet)
- Thanx also to Eric Totel for the MUI-Builder,
- which makes it easy to create Magic User
- Interfaces !
-
- TAUI is Public Domain. It may be copied and
- spread as long as data are stored on disk
- (and maybe longer ...). So go on and spread
- it. If you like the program send me a postcard
- - and if not, don't hold back...=:-)
- If you have some bucks left send it to Stefan
- Stuntz or Eric Totel for the wonderfull
- working enviroment.
-
-
- TAUI uses two parameter in the Command that
- is executet by TAUI-buttons.
- <$arc> is replaced by TAUI with the archives
- name.
- <$file> is a filename (if need), it is replaced
- with an (guess what !) filename (yep !).
-
- You will be asked by the program when $arc or
- $file is needed to be replaced. e.g. When
- the "Add"-button is pressed, a String-Requester
- pops up, and you are asked about the archives
- name. TAUI replaces $arc with that string and
- $file with the names selected in the listview-
- gadgets. TAUI extracts or archives a file(s)
- from one listview to the other one. It does not
- matter if source-to-dest or dest-to-source.
- TAUI uses the active listview (where a border
- is around) as source ! To activate a listview,
- you have to select an item, it is not enough
- to click into the listview (that is MUI behavour).
- (Could be important, if you delete files !!)
-
- If you want to read some .readme files (or anything
- else) you press the show button. It should
- also be possible to few pictures with that button.
- I have configured Multiview to that button to
- view my text files, but MultiView uses Datatypes
- to view things. So if you have the right Datatypes,
- ... Of course you could use your own viewer if you
- like. The viewer is started asynchronous.
-
- So folks, I think that's all about TAUI.
- If you have any ideas about TAUI let me know !
