- AmigaMenu 1.0
- January 25, 1995
- by Sean J. Miller
-
- I. DESCRIPTION
-
- AmigaMenu is a very basic program.
- All it does is allow you to compile a list of
- executable files which can then be selected
- by a menu for execution. It's as simple as
- that.
-
-
- II. USAGE
- I usually "LEAVE OUT" the AmigaMenu
- icon onto the WorkBench for easy access upon
- startup. After double-clicking its icon or
- typing "run amigamenu" from the CLI and
- waiting a few seconds, a sprite appears of
- a disk. Clicking this disk opens a window.
- You may now use the right mouse button
- to do the following:
-
- Add: Add an executable to the
- menus.
- Remove: Remove an executable
- from the menus.
- Snapshot: Store the AmigaMenu
- window settings to a file.
- About: Just shows my name.
- Quit: Of course, quit AmigaMenu.
-
- After adding at least one file, you can
- then easily run the file without worrying about its
- path from the menus.
-
-
- III. FUTURE
-
- The sprite image should only appear on
- the Workbench screen, but instead it will
- appear on all. To avoid this, when prompted
- "Quit upon its execution" answer yes.
-
- IV. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
-
- As always all appreciation goes
- towards David Benn and his great BASIC
- compiler ACE. For the compiler, just FTP
- anonymous to:
- FTP.APPCOMP.UTAS.EDU.AU
-
- Also, thanks goes to Brenda
- for her tolerance as I make this stuff.

- V. IMPORTANT NOTES
-
- If you feel the program
- is taking up too much memory and
- you do not need the default limit
- of 40 files in the list, you may
- change the memory allocated by
- changing line one of the source
- code and recompiling it with ACE 2.3 or
- higher.
- You may do the same to
- allow for more files in the list to
- avoid having to delete some to
- add new ones passed the 40th.
