What is PickStartup ?
----------------------
Its a program that will allow you to select a startup-sequence of your liking.
What Does it need ?
-------------------
WB 2.04
How does it work ?
------------------
Very Well Thankyou.
PickStartup DOCS.
-----------------
First thing, you need to change your SS like this
c:setpatch >NIL:
failat 50 ; This needs to be set higher than 20 to work. You can set it
;lower after the if warn statment.
c:pickstartup2
if warn 10
skip exit
endif
----
YOUR NORMAL Startup-sequene STUFF
----
Lab exit
endcli
If you use the Defaults you will also need to make a dir S:special-startups
and put you scripts in there.
Now put pickstartup in C:
You can enter some command line options.
And here they are.
Pickstartup [DIR=] [RMB=] [DELAY=] [FILTER=] [?] [KEY=] [NOWIN]
* DIR= Is the directory you want your startup scripts are in.
DEFAULT is S:Special-startups
* RMB= This is a script that will be executed if you click the
Right mouse button This must be the full path and file name.
Example c:startup
DEFAULT is none.
* DELAY= This is the delay time it controls how long the pickstartup window
Will remain open.
DEFAULT is 5.
* FILTER= This is any AmigaDOS wildcards it is used to filter
the selections in the file requestor.
DEFAULT is start-#?
* F1= Works just like RMB only you activate it by holding down F1 Key.
DEFAULT is none.
* NOWIN If you don't like the window (some don't) use this option.
If you do then you can only use the keys to get the file list.
As there will be No Window to click.
If you don't use this you will have BOTH methods available Mouse
or Keys and all options will work. (Hopefully)
* ? Will display some help. The help is very complete showing examples
and all OPTIONS. It will even give you some common KeyCodes to use.
All Key words need to be in UPPERCASE with NO spaces between the
word and the option you enter.
example DIR=c: DELAY=7
Known BUGS
----------
If you are using MFR1.3 Requestor instead of ASL it does not return all
memory to your system, you will lose about 1048 byte everytime the req.
opens. It will also give Enforcer hits.
None of the above happens using ASL.
When using the DIR= option put the full path ie. sys:s/blah/blah and not
S:blah/blah for some reason ASL will suddenly truncate the path name.
Don't ask me why.
