Short: OS 2.x MultiView replacement - now with ASL !!! Author: szczepan@cksr.ac.bialystok.pl (Marcin Juszkiewicz) Uploader: szczepan@cksr.ac.bialystok.pl (Marcin Juszkiewicz) Version: 2.0 Type: util/sys Requires: FileID.library (included) ReqTools.library (included) or Asl.library (part of AmigaOS) Introduction ------------ This little program should be named MultiView and placed in the SYS:Utilities directory. I wrote it because I use OS 2.1 and when unpack archives from Aminet or the like, I have this situation: doubleclick on an icon and a requester pops up : Unable to open your tool 'MultiView' Here is where this program comes in. It is called instead of the 3.x MultiView and for all the file types there is a configured viewer that you like best. How to use it? -------------- Very simple. Just edit program tooltypes. It was written using AmigaE version 3.2a. Sorry Wouter but non-registered. I put in my favourite vieers & players. To change that, just edit tooltypes to fit your needs. Some problems ------------- - viewers must be in your path or given with complete path, when used (DOS.library`s Execute function related) (any ideas for fixing, please contact me) - doesn`t replace OS 3.x data types (maybe in future 8->> ) - no external prefs file/program (maybe in future 8->> ) - can handle only commands up to 512 characters (max. CLI command length is 512) Legal Stuff ----------- This program was written, using some example routines from the AmigaE_v3.2a package, (thanks again to Wouter) by: Marcin Juszkiewicz ul. Zwierzyniecka 8/124 Biaîystok Poland email : szczepan@cksr.ac.bialystok.pl This program is giftware. You can sends me anything like e-mails, postcards, letters, money, Amigas (no PCs, please!), etc. Own programs, AmigaE sources (especially those of the useful kind) are very much welcome too. And now the standard disclaimer ------------------------------- NO WARRANTY - If something happens you don`t want, blame somebody else!
