** Managers for the masses **
YOU BETTER READ THIS, ..OR ELSE!
INSTALLATION :
--------------
1. Copy the files "Gui4Cli", "Gui", "Rep" and "Wrap" contained in the
'c' directory to your c: directory.
2. Copy the directories "Dir" and "CliMaster" anywhere you
want.
To run the file managers, enter either of the above dirs and click
on the respective icon.
3. Make sure you Configure the file managers!
- dir.gc - Click right mouse button, then 'more..', then 'Config'
- CliMaster - choose 'config' from the menu
Read their manuals for details.
IMPORTANT : Included here is a newer version of c:Gui to the one
available in Gui4Cli v2.2 main archive on Aminet (dev/gui).
This version uses the WBPath routine written by Ralph Babel which
makes sure that Gui4Cli inherits the defaults paths of your system
even if launched from the Workbench (which normally doesn't pass
on your paths to the programs it launches). Thanks to M. van Elst
for pointing it out to me. Details of the WBPath routine are
included herein.
Ganeral :
----------
The File Managers contained in this archive have been constructed
using a GUI making language called Gui4Cli, which is included herein
in it's most basic form. If you want the full manual etc for Gui4Cli
you can get it from Aminet (Dev/Gui/Gui4Cli.lha) or from my web
page at http://users.hol.gr/~dck/gcmain.htm
The scripts which make-up the file managers (and which are read and
executed by Gui4Cli), are plain text files, which you can change,
expand, or use as an example and construct your own File-Manager
(or any other GUI), just the way you like it!
Explanation of contents :
-------------------------
1. Gui4Cli :
This is the program that does the actual work. It's the GUI runner
and it consists of 2 files :
- Gui4Cli - the main program
- Gui - a loader for Gui4Cli
Both of these files should be copied to your c: directory.
A simple listing of the commands you can use with Gui4Cli can be found
in dir.gc Help Guide (dir.guide), which is in the "Dir" directory.
NOTE: If you download the full version, then Gui4Cli may be installed
in it's own directory. In this case, delete c:Gui4Cli.
2. Dir.gc :
This is the file manager I have constructed.
It can be found in the directory "Dir", which you can copy anywhere.
Run it by clicking on it's icon, or from a shell by typing :
> run gui dir.gc
3. CliMaster :
This is an other great file manager, constructed by G. Maddox.
It can be found in directory "Cli_Master", which you can copy anywhere.
Run it by clicking on it's icon, or from a shell by typing :
> run gui climaster
4. Helper programs :
There are also 2 small pure CLI programs included, and which are used
by dir.gc. They should be copied to your c: directory.
REP - Replaces strings in text files
WRAP - Rewraps text files
The docs for these 2 programs are included in Dir.guide.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
These file managers are Free-Ware.
Gui4Cli is ShareWare (yeah.. right..) but NOT disabled in any way.
All these programs are provided "as they are". No warrantees are
made or implied. Use them at your own risk.
That's all.. Have fun.
