- Changes in Version 2.1
- ----------------------
-
- An extensive ARexx command set was added to UrbConfig. This makes it easy
- to do mass updates on a configuration file, such as changing path names. It
- also makes it easy to create configuration files from a text input file.
- Sample scripts are included that I used in creating the UrbCedWWW configs.
-
- A couple commands were also added to URB. They make it possible to have fewer
- URB clones by allowing one to tell another to load a new configuration file.
- If you have several configs that are basically the same, this could be useful.
-
- Upgrading from V2.0 to V2.1
- ---------------------------
-
- Copy the following from this archive OVER your existing ones:
-
- Catalogs/
- Rexx/
- Readme
- URB
- URB.guide
- UrbConfig
-
- Replace any URB clones you have with the new URB using the old name.
-
- That's it:)
-
-
- Comment on Version 2.0
- ----------------------
-
- URB v2 is almost a complete rewrite. The URBs are much more configurable,
- the configuration program is now a separate program, and there are more
- options. It should be faster, smaller, fancier, and, unfortunately, not
- quite as intuitive due to the increased complexity.
-
- There are hours of fun built into it... a hidden gadget, "rubber-bandy
- thingies" for rearranging the layouts, and a "Randomize" function for the
- bored or non-creative.
-
- Enjoy :)
-
- Requirements
- ------------
-
- These programs use MUI ©1992-98 by Stefan Stuntz. If you don't have it,
- get it from Aminet:
-
- mui38usr.lha util/libs
-
- Also get WBRun by Sylvain Rougier & Pierre Carrette from Aminet:
-
- util/cli/WBRun_fix.lha
-
- and install it for use with the WBRun option in URB. This allows
- running Workbench programs from a CLI and using their TOOLTYPES.
-
- FILES INCLUDED IN THIS ARCHIVE:
-
- Catalogs - directory containing localization pieces
- ReadMe - comments and requirements for URB v2
- ReadMe.mui - information about Stefan Stuntz' MUI
- | rexx/ - directory with sample scripts

- Models - directory of models for creating different URBs
- Models.info - its icon
- UrbGrabs - directory of screen grabs to give you ideas
- configuration files are in directory Models
- UrbGrabs.info - its icon
-
-
- There may be versions of these with a suffix such as '.DK' this
- indicates a Danish version for that file. Over time support of
- additional languages will be added.
-
- Description
- -----------
-
- This program allows you to put a button bar for executing ARexx scripts,
- CLI programs, WorkBench programs, and/or Amiga DOS scripts on any public
- screen (actually, you could put several on each screen).
-
- The button bars that you can create are only limited by your imagination.
- They can be as simple as a single button or as complex as an almost total
- Workbench replacement.
-
- You can have image buttons with and without text, colored buttons, buttons
- that show and hide other buttons, ones that open file requesters, and you
- can have areas with datatype pictures scattered as you wish.
- The physical arrangement of clusters of buttons is virtually unlimited.
-
- Shortcut keys, MUI control codes for colors and images are also
- supported. See the example screen grabs for a few of the
- possibilities.
-
- There is bubble help available for all gadgets, lists, etc. Place the
- pointer above the item and wait;)
-
- Future
- ------
-
- That depends on what suggestions and responses I get.
