Program Creator version 1.22 Documentation January 26th 1997
------------------------------------------
1. ABOUT
Program Creator is a REXX-program which creates program objects on the
desktop from any program file giving it the program's name without the
path and extension.
2. WHAT'S NEW IN VERSION 1.22?
- Support for JAVA-programs (*.htm(l) and *.class).
- Adds the working directory to all program objects.
- Minor bugfixes.
NEW IN v 1.21:
- Fixed support for long filenames (with blank spaces).
- Added support for SYS files.
3. INSTALLATION
- Unpack the file PRCR122.ZIP to a temporary directory using either PKUNZIP-
or UNZIP-program.
- Start the installation program by typing Install at the prompt or by
double-clicking the Install.cmd object.
- After the installation you should add Program Creators path to the
'SET PATH' line of CONFIG.SYS if you wish to use the program from
command line.
4. USAGE
The easiest way to use the program is to drag and drop a supported file
on the Program Creator icon. You can also make a program object at the
command prompt by typing CrProg and as a parameter the name of the
program file. E.g. 'crprog c:\temp\t.exe'. If you start the program
without a parameter or by double clicking the icon, it will display the
correct usage.
Supported file types are:
Extension Program object created for
--------- --------------------------
EXE <---
CMD <---
COM <---
BAT <---
INF VIEW.EXE
TXT E.EXE
ME E.EXE
1ST E.EXE
NOW E.EXE
DOC E.EXE
SYS E.EXE (for easy editing of config.sys)
HTM APPLET.EXE
HTML APPLET.EXE
CLASS JAVAPM.EXE
FOLDER SUPPORT:
Folders are also supported! If you drag a folder on Program Creator, it
will create a new folder on the desktop with the original's name. In the
new folder program objects for program files and important data files
(TXT, INF, 1ST, DOC, ME) will be created. This is especially useful for
program collections like FM/2 utilities.
5. THANK YOU
I wish to thank Mike Prager for sending me his modifications to support
INF files. Thus giving me the idea to support also other file types than
just program files.
Thanks also to Duncan Sargeant and David Cougle for bug reports and
suggestions for improvements.
6. LICENCE
Program Creator is FREEWARE so you can freely copy and distribute it as
long as you keep all the included files with it unmodified.
All comments, suggestions for improvements and donations are welcome.
If you like Program Creator, send me a postcard!
