- Version: v1.16e (EVALUATION)

-
- QBox is a SHAREWARE utility that is designed to aid you, the user, in
- launching applications and CLI programs.
-
- QBox, can be used to save typing in CLI by enabling you to specify
- button/menu text and associated command line calls (and even scripts)
- simply, with no fuss or hassle.
-
- Many utilities have attempted (some even succeeding) to fill this role,
- however, complicated preference systems, command data restrictions,
- workbench reliance and extortionate registration costs have dogged most,
- if not all, such systems. The QBox project is an attempt to fill these
- gaps.
-
- Ideally suited to startup script selection, quick "no startup-seq" command
- interfacing and generally improving program access whether using workbench
- or not.
-
- QBox can execute any AmigaDos script or run ones stored with button/menu
- data in a QBox preference file.
-
- This EVALUATION version has the following limitations:
- * No preference editors (guide documents manual prefs editing)
- * Button matrix may only reach 4 buttons wide by 4 buttons deep
- * User Defined Menus may only hold 3 menu items
- * Occasionally a forced sticky About window appears that stays on screen 5
- seconds after clicking a mouse button.
- * Menu and Button I/O buffers may only reach a maximum of 1024 characters
- (restricting script definition lengths)
-
- All these restrictions are not present in the full REGISTERED version
- available for £3.50 (mainland UK) or £5.00 (overseas).
-
- See guide for details on registering, instruction on use and legal
- obligations.
-
- NOTE: Magazines/commercial ventures etc may not distribute QBox without the
- prior written permission of the author.
