WHY YOU SHOULD USE AUTOCLI
by Nic Wilson

Very briefly I would like to explain why you should be using AutoCLI
instead of other programs of the same kind.
AutoCLI was initially written due to problems with other programs and
the standard Shell. When a Shell or CLI window is launched with other
programs, they lose important information that can make life much easier
on the Amiga. Most users set a PATH and STACK in their startup-
sequence - have you ever typed stack or path in your CLI to see if
in fact they are the same as you set? Chances are they are not. Does
the program you are using now allow you to always be in a certain
directory every time you 'pop' it up?. AutoCLI retains all this
information at the time it is launched, so whatever your stack and path
were set at, and whatever directory you were CD'ed to at the time
AutoCLI was launched, will be passed to the CLI or SHELL that it opens.
AutoCLI also offers a default SHELL auto size, that will always follow
the size of the current screen, so whatever you change the size to,
AutoCLI will open the window to 1 pixel less than that full size, even
if the screen size changes after AutoCLI is running. 1 pixel less,
allows you to always go to the extreme bottom or right and click, to
activate the WB screen to give access to the menus while still giving a
full size Shell. AutoCLI has been given all the functions that users
have requested, and has been tested on a large variety of Amiga models
and kickstart/WB versions. It is fully compatible with V2.04
Kickstart/WB. The entire program is written in assembly language to
allow it to be faster than its 'C' written rivals.
If you would like more information, please read the accompanying doc
file for AutoCLI.
If AutoCLI does not have your favourite function then contact me and I
will do my best to insert it for you. I can be contacted in one of the
following ways.
