Short: TheChoice V2.00 - Simple Program Selector
Author: c_wich@river.prima.ruhr.de (Carsten Wich)
Uploader: c_wich@river.prima.ruhr.de (Carsten Wich)
Version: V2.00
Type: util/boot
INTRODUCTION
============
The Choice is a small Program Selector especially useful for Game Partitions
on Harddisks, SyQuests or even CD-ROMs.
I first wrote it in Modula2 (M2Amiga) because I just found no simple program
selector that fully suits my needs. Although the first version of it worked
good enought for me, some of my friends liked the program very much and made
some proposals for future versions. I switched to SAS-C because the support
for M2Amiga is not that good anymore. Especially the lack of actual includes
for OS3.1 really bothered me. I have completly rewritten the code in the C
programming language and made a lot of improvements.
TheChoice runs on every possible screenmode, even on graphic cards !
LEAGAL THINKS
=============
TheChoice Copyright (c) 1993-1995 Carsten Wich can be freely distributed,
as long as the whole archive 'TheChoice2.lha' is copied and all of the
files are in their original form without any changes.
Upload to BBS's and includions on any cover disks or CD's is WELCOMED.
This software is published without any warranties. The author does NOT take
any responsibilities for any defects on soft- or hardware, that may result
by this program or by using this program.
I have tried to write the program code according to the AMIGA User Interface
Style Guide and the AMIGA ROM Kernel Reference Manuals V2.04 so that the
program should run correctly on any future operating systems. It is also
tested with Enforcer.
Although this program may be freely distibuted and used it would be very nice
of the people who permanently use it to send me a small fee (I would say at
15,- DM or $10,- US) as a little acknowledgement for my work. You can send
it cash, as a EuroCheque or via a Bank Transfer on my Bank Account.
This would naturally increase my motivation to develop the program even
further.
