Usage: This program is a small, (and none too elegant<g>), utility which allows OS/2 full screen programs which require optional command lines, (e.g. ARC2.EXE), to be started from a PM Group Menu.
To install this utility:
(1). Copy the file LAUNCH.EXE to a directory which is in your PATH statement.
(2). Open the group in which you wish to place the menu icon.
(3). Select 'New' from the Program pull-down.
(4). Enter the title of your application in the title box.
(5). For program path and file name, specify the path and 'LAUNCH.EXE'
(6). Under 'Optional Parameters', specify the complete path and filename of the program to be launched.
When the new menu choice is selected, Launch will prompt you for the command line which is to be passed to the launched program. Type in the command line arguments as you would if you had started the program normally, (just the arguments...NOT the file name), and press <cr> when you are done. The program will then execute using the specidied arguments.
Notes: I have tested this utility fairly thoroughly on my own system, (OS/2 1.3 using HPFS), but have not had the opportunity to test it with other revisions/systems. As this is my first attempt at OS/2 programming, no claims are made as to its usefullness, durability, practicality, or stylistic exellence. I would welcome any constructive comments, suggestions, or improvements. The source code has been included. Feel free to modify it as you wish.
