- CLOANTO SCRIPT DATATYPE V. 40.2
-
- Some Amiga document icons are not associated directly to a text, but rather
- to an AmigaDOS command script which in turn could, for example, open a
- document in the correct language and with the correct viewing software
- depending on the system configuration. This technique is used on several
- Cloanto CD-ROMs.
-
- When these documents are viewed with a double-click on their icon, the
- transition from the AmigaDOS script to the AmigaGuide document is performed
- automatically by the script itself, which is executed and not displayed. If
- instead the script is "dragged and dropped" with a combination of programs
- such as ToolManager and MultiView, then a DataType such as "Script" is
- needed. Otherwise, the viewing software will display (rather than execute)
- the AmigaDOS commands.
-
- The "Script" DataType recognizes and executes AmigaDOS command scripts which
- are normally processed by tools such as IconX. The script is executed by
- emulating a Workbench double-click if the object has an icon (unless its
- default tool is a known viewer), or by executing it directly as a script.
-
- DataTypes are supported from version 3.0 of the Amiga operating system.
