Designed and coded by Ben Ashley. (C)opyright 1992 Odyssey Software
Menu Marauder is a complete Menu System for AMOS Programs. Programs are
selected by simply clicking on it's name.
Up to 40 items can be held.
If you have 7 items on the menu, you won't see 33 blank spaces, you'll just
see 1-7 listed, and that's it.
The Menu Marauder you see when it first loads, is configured for selecting
programs on this AMOS Programs disk. Changing this is very simple. All
you have to do is click on the EDIT button in the bottom-right corner of
the screen.
Then a prompt will come up saying "Item:". Here you type the text which
will be displayed on the menu. Then, to the right, it will say "Prog:".
Originally, you had to type in the path and filename. Now, a file
requester pops up, and you can select the program. This will be added. By
the way, when it prints it, you may find it cut when it reaches the edge of
the screen. Don't worry, the full path IS saved, you just don't see it
all, unless the program's path is small, ie "AMOS-PROGS:Proggy1.AMOS".
If the item you are editing, already has a title which you want to keep,
but the character, @ at the end, and press return. Now, MENU-MARAUDER will
delete that last character and go on to the next item.
After this you'll be asked whether or not you wish to change the title.
Then, you'll be asked whether or not you wish to type a new scrolly. And
finally., if you like, you'll be prompted for a music file. If you just
press return, it assumes you don't want music.
All this data is saved to a file called "Df0:Menu.Dat". AMOS programmers
can alter the string PATH$, if they want to change this.
You'll find that after some of the programs on this disk have finished (
Factors.AMOS, MegaDOS.AMOS amongst others ), MENU MARAUDER is re-loaded.
To do this, instead of putting an "Edit" or "End" command, put
Run "Menu-Marauder.AMOS"
And Menu-Marauder will be Re-Loaded.
This program actually works best compiled. It forms a neat menu system for
all of your AMOS programs. I'm putting this program on all of my AMOS
collection disks.
This program is freely distributable, as long as you:
1. Keep the document and Program itself intact
2. Send me a postcard with your name.
I want to keep track on how far this program goes. Ok, it was
only about 2 hours in TOTAL developemnt, but it is my work.
