- !AppMaker
- =========
- Switch to mode 12 before running AppMaker as I can't be pissed to write a
- mode independance routine because this program won't be used very often
- anyway. If anyone writes one, please send it back to me and I'll
- re-distribute the new copy of the app.
-
-
- !AppMaker is a RISC OS application designed to make the creation of other
- applications easier. Rather than have to prepare and create a separate
- !Boot, !Run, !Sprite and !Help file yourself, you just use !AppMaker.
-
- Once loaded, AppMaker opens up a window - as its only a fairly small program
- and unlikely to be used more than once in each session, it doesn't reside on
- the icon bar. Selecting the Quit option from the menu, or closing the window
- kills the application.
-
- To create a new application, enter its name (and a size if you wish to use a
- value other than 32K) then drag the application sprite to the desired
- directory viewer. The application will be created with own !Boot, !Run,
- !Sprites and !Help file. Of course, you can load any of these into !Paint or
- !Edit and edit them if you're unhappy with the defaults set up by the
- program.
-
- To open an application's directory, double-click on it whilst holding down
- the Shift key (try it with !Paint). The obey files can then be loaded (drag
- them - don't double click) into !Edit and the Sprite files into !Paint.
-
- Note that if an application contains a !Help text file, this will be
- displayed (or loaded into !Edit) when you select the Help option from the
- App.'name' filer menu. !Appmaker sets up a default help file giving the name
- and version number of the software - it is up to you to fill in instructions
- for the end-user.
