- * Description *
-
- Highly configurable launching tool for almost ANY purpose. But
- it is not yet another program like toolsdeamon or toolmanager.
- Selector serves as a complement to these types of programs. It's
- more like a script language.
-
- You can for example make a button panel that follows you from
- screen to screen when changing screens. Or a button panel (or menu)
- that pops up ANYWHERE when pressing your middle mouse button.
- (Or when pressing both mouse buttons together.)
-
- You can make a button for starting a program if it's not allready
- open, else just jump to that programs screen. This is very comfortable,
- as you allways press the same button to get to the programs screen,
- regardless if it's open or not.
-
- You can make a special window only available on (for example) your
- word processors screen, with buttons for starting different arexx
- scripts for that program.
-
- Selector is a powerful tool to use within shell scripts or to
- make a little GUI for your CLI type program. I have for example
- made a GUI for GMPlay (mus/midi/GMPlayGUI15.lha on Aminet) using
- selector.
-
- The possible use of selector is almost unlimited, yet the syntax
- is very simple.
-
- It is really easy to produce a button panel, info window or a little
- requester with selector.
-
-
- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
- * Requirements *
-
- Selector needs AmigaDos 2.0 or better.
- Some of the included examples need AmigaOS 3.0+
-
-
- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
- * What's new in Selector 7.0 (980203) **
-
- -With the new "pattern" command, you can use IFF brushes as background
- images for buttons and text etc. A bunch of patterns is included.
-
- -New command: "KeepImages", related with the loading of pattern images.
-
- -The Buttons have a new better 3-D look.
-
- -The "Popup" options for the mouse buttons (RMB, LMB, and MMB) does no longer
- require lowlevel.library (AmigaOS 3.1). If you have it, then it will be
- used. If you don't, then the button states will be read directly from the
- hardware. This means that Selector now works fully under AmigaDos2.0+.
-
- -New command: "Columns", as a complement to the "Rows" command.
-
- -New command: "Flow", concerned with in what order the items are placed
- in the window.
-
- -New option: "Exec" to replace the old way of starting AmigaDos commands,
- and allow syntax checks on the options. But don't worry, your old scripts
- will work anyway.
-
- -New command: "CheckOptions", that turns the options syntax checks ON and OFF
-
- -New option: "Run", to replace "run >nil:"
-
- -New option: "ScreenRun", to replace the external bonus tool "psrun".
- (psrun is no longer included)
-
- -New options: "Setenv" and "Unsetenv", to use instead of the AmigaDos
- commands with the same names.
-
- -The error messages now gives the right line numbers and filenames, even
- when you are using includes.
-
- -The "Color" command was extended with the * option. It can now also
- be spelled "Colour". The same goes for "darkcolor" and "lightcolor" that now
- can be spelled darkcolour and lightcolour.
-
- -Bugfix: The Color command had no effect if it wasn't spelled with only low
- case characters.
-
- -Bugfix: The commands didn't get their default values if they were followed
- by a comment...
-
- -The "ClosePopup" option is now changed to "PopupClose", to get a better name
- connection to the "OnPopupClose" command. But "ClosePopup" is still
- available for full compability with old scripts.
-
- -The guide was reworked some, and a new "shortway to your panel" was added.
-
- -New bonus tool: "MagicColors", by Volker Rudolph.
-
- -The copyrights are changed (again). Please read them through!

-
- Boray Letter, "The king of letter programs". Maybe you
- don't know what a letter program is. Well, it was something that
- started on the C64. You could use the keyboard to write a message
- to your friend, and when he looked at it, it was played in the same
- way it was written.... BorayLetter is that, and much more. You can
- for example draw lines, wait for a key to be pressed or even
- animate and make your own little cartoons!!!
-
- When you for example draw a line in your letter, only the
- coordinates for the line are saved to the file. All graphics works
- in this way. This leads to an extremely spacesaving fileformat.
- For example, the demo letter "Cecdic" contains 4:30 minutes of
- cartoons. And it's only 32K big (uncompressed). Yes, it's not even
- compressed. If you pack it with SHRINK, it will be 21K, or 24K
- with lha.
