Short: User configurable launching tool for any purpose Author: di3andpe@ida.his.se (Anders Persson) Uploader: stefan.nilsson@mailbox.hogia.net (Stefan Nilsson) Version: 4.30 Type: util/misc Description Highly configurable launching tool for almost any purpose. But it is not yet another program like toolsdeamon or launchingpad. Selector serves as a complement to these types of programs. It's more like a script language. Selector is a powerful tool to use within shell scripts or to make a little GUI for your CLI type program. I have for example made a GUI for GMPlay (gmplay_gui13.lha on Aminet) using selector. It is really easy to produce a button panel, info window or a little requester with selector. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Requirements Selector works with AmigaDos 1.3, but AmigaDos 3.0+ is recomended. The included examples won't work with 1.3. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- What's new in Selector 4.30 (960804) The documentations for version 4.2 and 4.3 was lost in my second HardDisk death. I have now (970101) updated the amigaguide document with all the changes (from 4.14 to 4.30) that I have found. -New commands: OnChange, NoBorder, Version, Screen and Palette. -The color background commands were extended. -The update of the window is made much faster if the window parameters not are changed (Size, title etc.). -Some more examples and a new "All Examples" script were added to the amigaguide document. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copyrights Selector is Copyrighted (C) 1996 by Anders Persson, but you can distribute it with your freeware software as long as you also include the documents and all other related files. (Preferably in an lzx archive in your own software arcive. Name this archive something like "SelectorDocs.lzx". The related files takes only about 20 Kb packed with lzx.) You can also include selector with any shareware or commercial software, as long as you send me a registred version of your product. After that you don't need to include all the related files, but only the ones that you require for your product. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 628 265 57.8% 16-Dec-96 12:08:40 Selector.info 528 199 62.3% 01-Jan-97 17:08:16 +allexamples 67 54 19.4% 25-Apr-96 14:44:30 +arg 42 36 14.2% 25-Apr-96 14:35:38 +arg.sel 97 70 27.8% 26-May-96 20:23:42 +argtest.sel 28 28 0.0% 26-May-96 20:50:04 +argtest2.sel 111 86 22.5% 22-Apr-96 19:16:36 +b1.sel 116 91 21.5% 25-Apr-96 17:49:56 +b2.sel 129 100 22.4% 24-Apr-96 09:52:32 +b3.sel 186 113 39.2% 23-Apr-96 17:42:56 +b4.sel 148 106 28.3% 27-May-96 12:45:04 +ChArgs.sel 93 75 19.3% 16-Dec-96 12:10:50 +clock.sel 44 44 0.0% 25-Apr-96 14:46:30 +confirm 152 116 23.6% 25-Apr-96 14:27:08 +confirm.sel 112 89 20.5% 23-Apr-96 19:51:12 +env1.sel 120 89 25.8% 23-Apr-96 19:51:36 +env2.sel 228 133 41.6% 23-Apr-96 19:51:48 +env3.sel 134 114 14.9% 25-Apr-96 17:52:56 +env4.sel 97 73 24.7% 26-May-96 20:57:46 +env5.sel 156 122 21.7% 16-Dec-96 21:25:28 +env6.sel 132 101 23.4% 29-May-96 19:24:10 +etips.sel 104 78 25.0% 30-May-96 10:05:34 +etips2.sel 46 46 0.0% 25-Apr-96 15:30:38 +filename.sel 640 299 53.2% 15-Dec-96 17:40:14 +gamedisk.sel 1433 415 71.0% 23-Apr-96 19:52:10 +gap.sel 189 94 50.2% 28-Apr-96 10:27:10 +Guide 767 305 60.2% 28-Apr-96 10:29:34 +Guide.info 159 130 18.2% 22-Apr-96 00:00:42 +lformat 102 89 12.7% 23-Apr-96 19:36:04 +note1 101 91 9.9% 23-Apr-96 19:36:26 +note2 324 156 51.8% 16-Dec-96 18:06:28 +onchange.sel 124 97 21.7% 25-Apr-96 15:09:38 +req.sel 3776 2412 36.1% 17-Jun-95 16:25:48 +RequestString 2676 1215 54.5% 22-Jun-95 17:30:44 +RequestString.txt 1158 338 70.8% 23-Apr-96 19:54:06 +rows.sel 866 408 52.8% 24-Jan-96 20:48:02 +rowsinfo.sel 48272 27902 42.1% 22-Aug-96 10:47:02 +Selector 52129 16293 68.7% 02-Jan-97 13:55:04 +Selector.guide 84 68 19.0% 24-Apr-96 16:56:10 +switch 152 114 25.0% 24-May-96 19:38:32 +switch.sel 74 64 13.5% 21-Apr-96 23:43:48 +testscript 91 64 29.6% 01-Jan-97 14:52:52 +tinymess.sel 2340 1029 56.0% 02-Jan-97 13:53:26 Selector43.readme 868 264 69.5% 02-Jan-97 13:53:26 Selector43.readme.info -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 119823 54075 54.8% 18-Jan-97 18:45:50 44 files
