QBox is a SHAREWARE utility that is designed to aid you, the user, in
launching applications and CLI programs.

QBox, can be used to save typing in CLI by enabling you to specify
button/menu text and associated command line calls (and even scripts)
simply, with no fuss or hassle.

Many utilities have attempted (some even succeeding) to fill this role,
however, complicated preference systems, command data restrictions,
workbench reliance and extortionate registration costs have dogged most,
if not all, such systems. The QBox project is an attempt to fill these
gaps.

Ideally suited to startup script selection, quick "no startup-seq" command
interfacing and generally improving program access whether using workbench
or not.

QBox can execute any AmigaDos script or run ones stored with button/menu
data in a QBox preference file.

This EVALUATION version has the following limitations:
* No preference editors (guide documents manual prefs editing)
* Button matrix may only reach 4 buttons wide by 4 buttons deep
* User Defined Menus may only hold 3 menu items
* Occasionally a forced sticky About window appears that stays on screen 5
  seconds after clicking a mouse button.
* Menu and Button I/O buffers may only reach a maximum of 1024 characters
  (restricting script definition lengths)  

All these restrictions are not present in the full REGISTERED version
available for £3.50 (mainland UK) or £5.00 (overseas). 

See guide for details on registering, instruction on use and legal
obligations.

NOTE: Magazines/commercial ventures etc may not distribute QBox without the
prior written permission of the author.
