VERSION
$VER: MyAmigaAppIcon.dopus5 0.500 (21 Jul 1997) Written by Dominique Dutoit
(eightyfour@hotmail.com).
SYNOPSIS
ARexx script for Directory Opus 5.5 to create an AppIcon named "My Amiga".
And then your Amiga is smarter! Why? This script is based on a feature from the
MacOS : when you drop an extension, a control panel, or a font on the System
Folder, the Mac asks you if you want to put the dropped file in the appropriated
folder.
This script emulates this feature by using DOpus filetypes, and you can
customize it at wish (which is not the case with MacOS, and sorry Windows' user,
you must still wait Windoze 2000 to get something like that).
The magic mode - is a way to disable the confirmation requester. Imagine you
drop a library and a device on the appicon : the library will be copied to LIBS:
and the device to DEVS: without asking anything to you. Note that the version
checking of DOpus is activated, so if the dropped file is a different version
that the previous one, you will be asked to confirm.
BUGS
This script is a prototype, and you must be careful. I can't be responsible of
any damage caused to your Amiga. Use it at your own risks. Read
"MyAmigaAppIcon.readme" on how to install the package.
