Short: some tiny utilities for ToolManager 2.0 Architecture: m68k-amigaos tm_tools -------- I eventually got around to installing ToolManager on my system. ToolManager is an excellent program-launching environment by Stefan Becker. The tools included are: GAsk a graphical 'ask' for use from scripts InsertKey inserts a keystroke into the input stream IconKill deletes an icon using DeleteDiskObj Kill.script shell-script to delete files GAsk was written primarily for a Delete icon, to confirm deletion. It may be useful elsewhere. Usage is GAsk ; quotes are not required around the prompt. e.g. 'GAsk Really delete file?' InsertKey was written so that clicking a dock icon would open another dock. I'm sure Stefan will in a future version include a 'docks opening docks' option, but for now, InsertKey fills a gap. Usage is InsertKey where key is a standard (commodities-style) key description. For example, I have the hotkey 'lcommand 1' set to bring up a specialised dock. In my main dock I have an Exec object with (CLI) command 'InsertKey lcommand 1', so that I can bring up the other dock without recourse to the keyboard. IconKill is a small program to delete icons. It IS NOT written by me, but is Copyright © 1991 by Jarto Tarpio, and was taken from the AppServer package. I've included it as it's used in my Kill.script. See IconKill.doc for more details. Finally, Kill.script is a small Shell script attached to a dock-icon so that any files/directories dropped over it are deleted. It can only take one file/directory at a time, because a file containing a space would be interpreted as two files, and in the worst-case scenario, these files could actually exist and be wiped unintentionally. These programs (except IconKill) are placed in the public domain; they have no warranties attached whatsoever (especially Kill.script). Use them at your own risk. To compile the C programs you need Lattice 5.10 (or above?). Just 'execute' them to get them compiled. You have been listening to... Martin Scott email: mws@castle.ed.ac.uk
