- Description
- -----------
-
- Makealias is an application that will create aliases of files, folders and
- applications.
-
- It does this by creating an application with a name equal to "!=" plus the
- original. In the case of applications the "!" is replace with a "!=". If
- an alternate name is used then the alias will be prefixed with "!+" instead
- of "!=".
-
- Inside the alias application are a number of files :
-
- !Boot This boots the original application
- !Help This display a very short alias help or the original
- application help. The choice is made at the time the alias is
- created.
- !Run Simulates the double-clicking of the original.
- OpenSource Optional - If the orginal is an application then this file will
- open the original.
- !Alias A single line text file containing the filename of the original.
- This file can be referenced by other applications so that they
- can handle aliases.
