- *** Gui4Cli 3.8 ***
-
- Gui4Cli is an easy scripted language for creating & running GUIs.
- Version 3.8 has no changes which affect existing guis.
-
- ++++ To start it up, click on the "DEMO" icon. ++++
-
- INSTALLATION
-
- Gui4Cli is made up of 2 files :
- - Gui : which is a loader for Gui4Cli and it's scripts, and
- - Gui4Cli : which is the main program.
-
- All the other files are optional.
-
- It is highly recommended that you click on the install icon and
- let Gui4Cli install itself fully, but if you want the minimum
- installation, you could copy the above two files in your c:
- directory and be done with it.
-
- You will not, however, be able to run most of the scripts and
- that would be a crying shame..
-
- The full installation will do the following :
- 1. Create a directory called Gui4Cli and copy Gui4Cli and all
- the included scripts, manuals etc, into it.
- 2. Create an assignment to this directory, called GUIs:
- 3. Add the subdirectory GUIs:c to your default path
- 4. Add commands to you user-startup file for Nos 2&3 above.
- 5. Copy the Gui program to your c: directory.
- That's it..
-
- Gui4Cli Setup
-
- The GUIs: directory, where Gui4Cli will reside if you installed
- it as recommended, has the following structure :
-
- - GUIs:C
- This dir contains some small pure CLI commands which are used
- by the Dir.gc File Manager and other scripts.
- - GUIs:Dir
- This is a full application (a file manager) written in Gui4Cli.
- - GUIs:Docs
- Contains the manuals for Gui4Cli and the tutorial scripts
- - GUIs:Ext
- Contains the extensions to Gui4Cli, which are programs that
- interface with Gui4Cli in various ways.
- - GUIs:G4C
- This is a directory where you can keep your own guis.
- - GUIs:Tools
- Contains various common scripts which are used by other guis and
- which you can also use in your own guis. It also contains various
- Icons, Images, ARexx scripts etc
-
- - The Gui "loader" will be copied to the c: directory
- - Gui4Cli itself will be in GUIs:
-
- IMPORTANT :
-
- Always start-up Gui4Cli using the c:gui program, as it will
- make sure that Gui4Cli inherits your default system paths
- even if started from the Workbench.
-
- Always set the default tool of your Gui4Cli script icons to
- "GUI", so that they are started up by c:gui, which is smaller
- and faster. You can also make c:gui resident, if you want.
-
- One of the best ways to start-up Gui4Cli is to write a small
- script, setting your favourite editor, output etc and save it
- in your WBStartup drawer. Give the script an icon with the
- default tool set to GUI.
