Short: Unique launching tool / script language
Author: boray@alfa.telenordia.se (Anders Persson)
Uploader: boray@alfa.telenordia.se (Anders Persson)
Version: 9.0
Type: util/boot
Replaces: util/boot/selector80.lha

* Description *
Highly configurable launching tool for almost ANY purpose. But
it is not yet another program like toolsdeamon or toolmanager.
Selector serves as a complement to these types of programs. It's
more like a script language.
You can for example make a button panel that follows you from
screen to screen when changing screens. Or a button panel (or menu)
that pops up ANYWHERE when pressing your middle mouse button.
(Or when pressing both mouse buttons together.)
You can make a button for starting a program if it's not allready
open, else just jump to that programs screen. This is very comfortable,
as you allways press the same button to get to the programs screen,
regardless if it's open or not.
You can make a special window only available on (for example) your
word processors screen, with buttons for starting different arexx
scripts for that program.
Selector is a powerful tool to use within shell scripts or to
make a little GUI for your CLI type program.
The possible use of selector is almost unlimited, yet the syntax
is very simple.
It is really easy to produce a button panel, info window or a little
requester with selector.
Or, why not quote the world's biggest amiga magazine:
"The program is so easy to use that you can have your first project
up and running in under a minute." - AMIGA FORMAT march 1998
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
* Requirements *
Selector needs AmigaDos 2.0 or better.
The Prefs script and many of the included examples need AmigaOS 3.0+

* What's new in Selector 9.0 (990218) *
This version of selector has in principle been ready since October 1998.
The only thing that not was ready was this version history and some
new icons. I have been occupied with other projects. For example
my music CD:
"Boray plays some tuba" - http://www.ida.his.se/ida/~di3andpe/tuba.html
Be sure to get a copy! A friend of mine has listened to it every
day in three month without getting tired of it! So it's well
worth the money.
BorayLetter 6.0 (Multimedia emails - yet tiny files):
http://www.odyssey.on.ca/~dhamilton/borayletter.html
A funny - easy to use program to make illustrative letters with
graphics, music, sound effects, speech. Nice YAM integration!
Other mailers can also be used (after some scriptwriting :-)
I have also attended an university course. Enough with
explaining of the late release! Now on to the selecor news:
-New command "draw". Let's you draw lines, boxes and other figures
in a selector window. The idea and the way it works comes
directly from BorayLetter! But the coordinates are better that
BorayLetter's as selector's "coordinates" are button/window
relative and scalable. You can also press "d" to get to a drawing tool!
No need for commands. You probably like command (as you are
using selector) but it's much easier with the drawing tool.
The drawing tool is adding draw commands to the script for you.
-New command "drawcol". Sets the color for the draw command.
-New commands "sortbuttons" and "sorttext" to sort the contents of a window.
-New command "main" to decide what file to load when pressing "e".
-New command "windowsize" to override the window size automation.
-New command "changesize" to be able to use different sized buttons
in the same window.
-New command "setpen" to be able to freely position the buttons and text.
-New command "area" to be able to execute command depending on where you
click in the window (withot buttons).
-New options LastX, LastY, LastXPos and LastYPos.
-The "flow" command can now be used more than once in the same script.
-You can press "x" to launch a user defined command.
-New install tool and some new bonus tools.

ALM 3.2b
Aminet: util/boot/alm32b.lha
Do you have a problem remembering peoples birthdays?
And how many years they celebrate? I had, and that's
why I made these two programs. Now, I have used ALM
in over 6 years, and I never miss a birthday or
anything else imortant any longer!!! You only have to
type in the birthdays ONCE with the "ALM.Editor" as
there is only ONE year to edit. Then put and configure
"ShowALM" in your startup, and that's it!!!
But you can also write in temporary notes in the
calendar, and then easily delete them again, without
deleting the resident notes. You can even let ShowALM
to delete them automatically when not needed any
longer.
ALM needs an Amiga Classic with AmigaDos 2.0 or better.
ALM is FREEWARE!
Both english and swedish instructions are included.
