AmigaMenu 1.0
January 25, 1995
by Sean J. Miller
I. DESCRIPTION
AmigaMenu is a very basic program.
All it does is allow you to compile a list of
executable files which can then be selected
by a menu for execution. It's as simple as
that.
II. USAGE
I usually "LEAVE OUT" the AmigaMenu
icon onto the WorkBench for easy access upon
startup. After double-clicking its icon or
typing "run amigamenu" from the CLI and
waiting a few seconds, a sprite appears of
a disk. Clicking this disk opens a window.
You may now use the right mouse button
to do the following:
Add: Add an executable to the
menus.
Remove: Remove an executable
from the menus.
Snapshot: Store the AmigaMenu
window settings to a file.
About: Just shows my name.
Quit: Of course, quit AmigaMenu.
After adding at least one file, you can
then easily run the file without worrying about its
path from the menus.
III. FUTURE
The sprite image should only appear on
the Workbench screen, but instead it will
appear on all. To avoid this, when prompted
"Quit upon its execution" answer yes.
IV. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
As always all appreciation goes
towards David Benn and his great BASIC
compiler ACE. For the compiler, just FTP
anonymous to:
FTP.APPCOMP.UTAS.EDU.AU
Also, thanks goes to Brenda
for her tolerance as I make this stuff.

V. IMPORTANT NOTES
If you feel the program
is taking up too much memory and
you do not need the default limit
of 40 files in the list, you may
change the memory allocated by
changing line one of the source
code and recompiling it with ACE 2.3 or
higher.
You may do the same to
allow for more files in the list to
avoid having to delete some to
add new ones passed the 40th.
