- Short: Lzx/Lha unarchiver+File examine and more
- Author: mountain_myst@mindspring.com (Brad Ray)
- Uploader: mountain_myst@mindspring.com (Brad Ray)
- Version: Drop_Zone Version 1
- Type: util/app
- Requires: Reqtools.Lib - OS 2.04+
-
- Welcome to Drop_Zone.
-
- This is a Very helpful program for anyone who owns an Amiga Computer.
- If you know how to work a mouse, then download this program now!!!
-
- The concept is simple:
-
- Started as an lzx - lha unarchiver,
- Turned into something much more.
-
- This program puts an AppIcon on your WorkBench screen and just sits there
- until you drop something on it.
- If you're not sure what something is, just drop it onto Drop_Zone and if
- you have a datatype for that file, then Drop_Zone will do whatever it needs
- to do.
-
- For example:
- If your file is a jpeg picture and you have a jpeg datatype, Drop_Zone
- will display that picture using multiview.
- If you drop a sound file onto Drop_Zone, then the sound will be played.
-
- Files everywhere - what the heck is this? - Drop it onto the AppIcon and
- you will know!
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Drop_Zone also unarchives lzx and lha files.
-
- It works the same way.
- Drop the compressed file onto the AppIcon and a requester pops up
- asking you where you would like to unarchive it at.
-
- Drop_Zone supports multiple file drops and also has a requester mode
- where everything can be done with requesters instead of Icons.
-
- In requester mode, when choosing multiple files, just hold the shift
- key down and pick the files that you want.
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Drop_Zone is small and stays out of your way.
-
- It does not interfere with any programs that you are running and it's
- very system friendly.
-
- Try it, you won't be sorry!!!
-
- You will always turn again and again to Drop_Zone.
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Small Talk:
-
- This program is free from me to you.
-
- It is not crippled in any way.
- This is a full version, and I don't expect anything in return.
-
- But after a while of using Drop_Zone, let me know what you think of it.
-
- I don't know if I will expand the program.
- I guess that will be up to you.
-
- Any suggestions are welcome.
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Installation:
-
- This is very simple.
-
- I did not include an installer script, but that's alright because there
- ain't nothing to it.
-
- After you unarchive the file, you will see The Drop_Zone program and
- a drawer named "Ext_Pic"
-
-
- 1) Put The Drop_Zone program any where you want to.
-
- I suggest that you put it in WbStarup where it will be available on
- startup.
-
-
-
- 2) Put the "Ext_Pic" drawer in your prefs/presets drawer.
-
- This is the only place to put this drawer.
- If you put it anywhere else, Drop_Zone will not run.
-
- Inside the "Ext_Pic" drawer is a picture named "here"
- Do Not change the name of this picture or Drop_Zone will not run.
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- The End:
-
- Be sure that you have reqtools.lib installed in your libs drawer or
- Drop_Zone will not run.
-
- ReqTools.lib can be found on aminet.
-
- When Drop_Zone is cranked up, it places a menu item named Drop_Zone onto
- you WorkBench menu bar.
-
- Just choose this menu item and the rest is up to you.
-
- I hope that you enjoy this program as much as I do.
- I know that you will.
