Recent changes Letzte Änderungen ================= 12.10.98 AppLauncher 1.9 AppLauncher.readme 1.9 Changed Type: to util/rexx as recommended by Matthias Scheler. AppLauncher.cfg 1.8 Added configuration entries for IBrowse and AWeb. Not tested! I don't own these programs. Thanks to Simone Tellini for the ARexx scripts for CManager where I have looked at to find out the commands. Stack setting is 50000 bytes. I guessed it. I don't have a glue about what stack IBrowse and AWeb use. When you know the exact values please tell me. PPaint entry now has pathname "PPaint:". This assign should work on all systems. Path that can't be set by me are pointing to RAM: now. So search for every occurence of RAM: and replace it with the correct path to the application when you have it installed. ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 1060 339 68.0% 12-Oct-98 17:22:22 +AppLauncher.cfg 467 317 32.1% 07-Oct-98 21:20:22 +AppLauncher.dopus5 2101 1068 49.1% 12-Oct-98 17:31:36 +AppLauncher.readme 1234 778 36.9% 07-Oct-98 21:23:48 +AppLauncher.readme.info 4438 1280 71.1% 26-Sep-98 19:01:56 +AppLauncher.rexx 1807 1280 29.1% 07-Oct-98 21:23:48 +AppLauncher.rexx.info 1066 619 41.9% 07-Oct-98 21:23:48 +AppLauncher1.4.info 3265 1417 56.6% 16-Aug-97 16:41:18 +AppLauncher.readme 862 479 44.4% 16-Aug-97 16:30:54 +AppLauncher.rexx 1066 625 41.3% 07-Oct-98 21:23:48 +Help.info 2877 1172 59.2% 12-Oct-98 17:31:16 +AppLauncher.history 1234 782 36.6% 07-Oct-98 21:24:10 +AppLauncher.history.info 1066 623 41.5% 07-Oct-98 21:24:10 +Deutsch.info 3183 1388 56.3% 07-Oct-98 21:26:26 +AppLauncher.guide 1432 979 31.6% 07-Oct-98 21:24:22 +AppLauncher.guide.info 1066 616 42.2% 07-Oct-98 21:24:10 +English.info 3025 1261 58.3% 07-Oct-98 21:25:46 +AppLauncher.guide 1432 977 31.7% 07-Oct-98 21:24:32 +AppLauncher.guide.info -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 32681 16000 51.0% 19-Oct-98 15:45:22 18 files
