- Introduction
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~
- IfExist is a small transient utility that check for the presence of a certain
- file, and executes a *-command if it is not present. This is extremely useful
- in command scripts, in particular !Run files etc.
-
- How to use IfExist
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- IfExist is supplied in the form of a transient utility. This can be called
- from the command line in the following way:
-
- *IfExist <filename> <command> <command>
-
- We recommend you place Kill inside your library directory if you wish to use
- it from the command line on a regular basis, as this saves typing in the
- full pathname of the utility everytime you wish to use it. If you do not
- have a library directory and are unsure of their use, please consult the
- Risc OS 3 User Guide that came with your computer.
-
- When run, the utility will check for the presence of the given file. If it
- is present then the first *-command will be executed. If it is not present
- then the second *-command will be executed.

- This utility is FREEWARE. That means that you can distribute it freely, as
- long as no more than nominal media costs are charged. In other words, most
- PD libraries should be OK apart from Skyfall PD, who we would ask to refrain
- from distributing this and any of our other software. You can upload it to
- BBSes provided nothing is changed and *this file remains with the
- application*! AT ALL TIMES, no matter who distributes it, the copyright
- remain with © DizzyWizard Software 1995. OK? Oh, and also, we take no
- responsibility for any loss of data or other damage incurred whilst this
- software is in use. It shouldn't happen, but if it does, don't blame us!
-
- This utility can also be distributed with 3rd party applications, as long as
- we are explicitly credited with it's copyright in the helpfile. In such cases
- this document need not be distributed with the utility. If you are going to
- distribute this utility with a commercial application, please contact
- DizzyWizard Software first. NOTE however that this is the ONLY time the
- utility may be distributed without this helpfile!
