- 1.What is DropIt! ?
-
- DropIt! has been written in order to make the "exploration" of the
- public domain disks easier. More often than not, those disks contain
- numerous files which examination needs the use of quite a lot of dif-
- ferent utilities (ILBM reader, text viewer, archive utility, ...).
- DropIt! enables you to do this automatically.
-
- To this end, it opens when it is started an icon on the Workbench
- screen on which you can put another icon. The type of the file is then
- recognized automatically and the associated program (chosen by the
- user) started (an ILBM reader for an image for instance).
-
-
- 2.How can I use DropIt! ?
-
- Before using DropIt!, you have to install it by clicking twice on
- the "Install.installer" icon (if you have Installer) or on the "Ins-
- tall.iconx" icon (if you only have IconX).
-
- Once DropIt! is installed, you just have to click twice on its icon
- to launch it (of course, it can also be started by using the Shell).
- DropIt! then opens an icon on the Workbench screen. Dragging and drop-
- ping an other icon on it will lead DropIt! to start the associated
- program.
-
- If you wish to learn more about the use of this program, you should
- read the documentations in the EnglishDocs or FrenchDocs directories
- (or in the Docs directory created by the installation script).
