ReadMe for ToolManager 1.5 10.10.1991
ToolManager's purpose is starting Workbench tools and CLI programs. You can
add your own programs to the Tools menu or put a special Application Icon on
the Workbench, which works even with CLI tools. Every tool can have a special
icon that is "docked" to a line of icons. The programs can be started by
selecting their entries in the Tools menu and any selected icon from the
Workbench will be the startup parameters for the program. You can also start a
program by dropping an icon on the Application Icon or by double-clicking the
icon. Or you can drop an icon on the "docked" icon or by clicking the "docked"
icon. Last but not least you can start a program with a keyboard short cut.
BEWARE: This program makes heavily use of new 2.0 functions, so its completely
useless to all people who are still forced to use 1.3 :-) To get the
full functionality you should run it only under 2.04.
USAGE: Use lz/lharc to extract the files from the archive. Open the ToolManager
drawer and double click on the ToolManager icon. It will use the example
configuration file.
