Short: The script based launching tool.
Author: di3andpe@ida.his.se (Anders Persson)
Uploader: di3andpe@ida.his.se (Anders Persson)
Version: 5.2
Type: util/misc
Replaces: util/misc/selector51.lha
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Description *
Highly configurable launching tool for almost any purpose. But
it is not yet another program like toolsdeamon or launchingpad.
Selector serves as a complement to these types of programs. It's
more like a script language.
Selector is a powerful tool to use within shell scripts or to
make a little GUI for your CLI type program. I have for example
made a GUI for GMPlay (gmplay_gui13.lha on Aminet) using selector.
It is really easy to produce a button panel, info window or a little
requester with selector.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Requirements *
Selector needs AmigaDos2.0. A hard disk is strongly recommended.
Some of the included examples need AmigaOS3+
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
* What's new in Selector 5.2 (970422) *
-Bugfix: Selector did not work with FastIPrefs or ToolManager.
Thanks to Stefan Nilsson for the bug report!
-The error handling was extended so that longer error messages
now can be displayed without problems.
-Bug fixed in the version command.

* What was new in Selector 5.1 (970407) *
-I discovered that I needed to use both "-signs and '-signs in strings,
so I extended the string enclosing signs from ( " and ' ) to
( " ' @ # £ ^ and & ). So now you can write for example:
text ^Isn't this "cool"?^ for the text: Isn't this "cool"?
Or a little more concrete example:
screen DM
button Tempdir @rx "address DM newdir 'dh2:temp/*'"@
button ^Mark lha^ &rx "address DM select '*.lha'"&
-Bugfix:
It wasn't possible to use fonts larger than about 40.
-Bugfix:
The window became to big when using "noborder".

* What was new in Selector 5.0 (970319) *
-Bug on graphics cards and super hires fixed.
-Fonts support. New command: Font
-New support program: SelectorFont, to set the default font for
selector, or request a font in your scripts. This program
needs asl.library.
-Now possible to open the window on any public screen
using the extended SCREEN command.
-The X and Y commands were extended.
-New command: OnExit
-New button/onchange/onexit options: "Quit, DumpX, DumpY
-The button/onchange/onexit option "Update" will now ignore the X and
Y commands. If you want selector to behave as before: Use Load [this]
instead of update.
-AmigaDos1.3 no longer supported. At least AmigaDos2.0 is needed.
Some of the included examples need AmigaOS3.
-Added "Bonus Tools"
-The copyrights is changed.
Greetings to Henrik Thurén, "KnC" McWhirter, Jörn Hansson
and Stefan Nilsson! Thanks for your help and support!
