Short: Run Progs from WB menu, like Apple Menu
Uploader: thor@math.tu-berlin.de (Thomas Richter)
Author: thor@math.tu-berlin.de (Thomas Richter)
Type: util/wb
Requires: Os 2.04 at least. Possibly CLICon for best perfomance.
Version: 1.11
This program reads the contents of a drawer named "ToolMenu" on your hard-
disk and installs all icons found there into the "Tools" workbench menu.
The programs are then easely run by selecting their names from the menu,
as if they have been double clicked on the workbench.
The menu is automatically updated in case an icon is dropped into it, or
removed from it. Thus, "ToolMenu" implements a simple "Apple Menu".
To be able to run more complex programs that require their home directory
set, check the "CLICon" program of the same author.
More details are in the guide.

History:
Release 1.11:
The next update after two years: Added a workaround to keep
PatchWork from screaming, added another workaround against
a bug in the workbench.library. In case a program closes the
workbench, an AddAppItem() call crashes. ToolMenu keeps now
the workbench locked open as long as it deposits its items
into the ToolMenu bar.
