Introduction
------------
A few days ago, I was writing an Amiga Dos script when I suddently
realized a thing : I didn't know how to read a string on keyboard
and store it in a variable. Instead of searching a difficult way
to do it I decided to write this small command, which stores a
string read on keyboard in an ENV variable.
Installation
------------
Just copy Input where you want. I recommand C: so your scripts
will be able to call it easily.
Usage
-----
From CLI : Input Name
where name is the name of the variable you want to create.
A variable will be created in ENV:. It will be accessible
with '$' (the variable joke will be accessible with $joke).
An error message will be displayed if the variable can't
be created.
For further details have a look at the example script
included in this archive.
Disclaimer
----------
You use Input at your own risks. It has been tested for hours on my computer
(A1200). I can't be responsible if it breaks something (it shouldn't, due
to the technics used).
History
-------
April 1995 Version 1.0 First release
June 1995 Version 1.1 Much cleaner code
(see thanks) and
no need of Ixemul

This product is FREEWARE, but I keep a copyright on it.
You can diffuse and use it freely if you keep the archive
intact and don't put a virus in it.
Aminet, Fred Fish, Funet and other Public Domain organisations
or Amiga magazines are allowed to distribute this product, on
floppy disk as well as on CD ROM if the price of the support is
normal. France Festival Distribution WILL NEVER BE ALLOWED to
diffuse it.
I would like to thank Phillipe Brand for his advice about GCC
(I finally installed GCC 2.6.3 + Libnix instead of 2.5.8) and
Sylvain Rougier for his critics about the Input source code
(now it is not dirty like the 1.0).
To do

Well, what do you suggest ?
