Short: Adds items to the 'tools' menu - V 2.0 Author: ldm@altern.org (Luca Di Massimo) Uploader: ldm@altern.org (Luca Di Massimo) Version: 2.0 (28/7/1998) Type: util/wb Requires: Wb 3.x What it does: ------------- MoreTools is a simple utility able to add items to the Workbench "Tools" menu to run programs or execute commands; you can also pass them a parameter by selecting some icons before. Disclaimer: ----------- This program is provided "as is", without any kind of warranty. I have taken every care in developing it, but I am not renponsible of any damage it can cause.

If you find it useful please send me an e-mail or a postcard; my snail-mail address is: Luca Di Massimo - Via A.Silvani 69 - 00139 Rome (Italy) Usage: ------ MT can be started: - from Wb, putting it in the "Wb-startup" drawer or double-clicking on its icon or on the project icon of a menu-description file; - from CLI, using the command "run >NIL: MoreTools". You can put this command in your startup-sequence too (_after_ "LoadWb"). The configuration file is "s:MTData" by default; you can use another file specifying it in tooltypes or passing it as parameter. Configuration file: ------------------- You can write it with whatever text-editor; for every item to add you have to specify some data (see MoreTools.guide) like: ITEM date and time COMMAND date OUTPUT CON:0/40/640/150/date and time/auto/close/wait Changes from 1.x version: ---------------------------- - Mostly rewritten and changed internal data structure; now it is easier to add new features - fixed enforcer-hits when launcing programs; - now it is possible to define the stdout for a command; - stack size read from command's icon if it exists; - MT can be started from the project icon of a config.-file; - no more memory leak when closing an asl.requester without choosing something; - characters
