Short: Launch tools based on datatype of files Author: rolfr@post4.tele.dk Uploader: rolfr@post4.tele.dk Type: util/rexx Replaces: util/rexx/dofile41.lha Requires: WB 3.x (With lots of datatypes) Dofile recognizes the filetype using datatypes.library and launches the corresponding tool. This enables you to use your favorite viewer/player/editor instead of Multiview and still keep the advantage of the datatypes.library filetype recognition. Very useful when installed as a do-it-all appicon in Toolmanager. It's also possible to use Dofile as default tool in Workbench project icons. You can even use a ToolAlias utility to redirect all calls to Dofile. And of course it also works nicely from CLI. Now you only have one global config file to change when you install eg. a new JPEG viewer. 4.2 - Dofile works synchrously again. Whew. Error handling works better now. Quite a few other internal changes. Added DATATYPE switch as a replacement for the getdtyp script. ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 108 88 18.5% 17-Jun-98 21:35:14 +AIFF 212 154 27.3% 17-Jun-98 21:35:14 +Amiga .info File 122 93 23.7% 17-Jun-98 21:35:14 +AmigaGuide 110 85 22.7% 17-Jun-98 21:35:14 +ANIM 110 87 20.9% 17-Jun-98 21:35:14 +Bitmap Font 108 89 17.5% 17-Jun-98 21:35:14 +C++-Source 98 83 15.3% 17-Jun-98 21:35:14 +C-Source 92 77 16.3% 17-Jun-98 21:35:14 +CDXL 82 70 14.6% 06-Nov-96 20:49:16 +Exe 112 88 21.4% 17-Jun-98 21:35:14 +FTXT 96 82 14.5% 17-Jun-98 21:35:14 +GIF 394 323 18.0% 17-Jun-98 21:35:14 +HTML 110 91 17.2% 17-Jun-98 21:35:14 +ILBM 98 84 14.2% 23-Feb-95 17:36:46 +JFIF 512 406 20.7% 17-Jun-98 21:35:16 +MacPaint 362 311 14.0% 28-Feb-98 15:55:56 +MacPICT2 96 81 15.6% 17-Jun-98 21:35:16 +MED 984 579 41.1% 29-Aug-98 01:41:48 +MPEG Audio 1026 611 40.4% 29-Aug-98 01:44:44 +MPEG Video 112 88 21.4% 17-Jun-98 21:35:16 +Outline Font 86 75 12.7% 17-Jun-98 21:35:16 +PCX 92 85 7.6% 27-Jun-98 11:21:36 +PNG 246 194 21.1% 08-Aug-98 20:07:10 +Protracker 124 112 9.6% 17-Jun-98 21:35:18 +REXX 106 85 19.8% 17-Jun-98 21:35:18 +Sun Audio 176 147 16.4% 22-Oct-98 01:12:56 +SVX 218 168 22.9% 17-Jun-98 21:35:18 +TIFF 100 85 15.0% 13-Nov-98 17:54:00 +WAVE 100 83 17.0% 22-May-95 12:15:22 +Windows BMP 118 87 26.2% 17-Jun-98 21:35:18 +Windows Icon 696 498 28.4% 02-Mar-98 15:52:48 +XBM 170 137 19.4% 17-Jun-98 21:35:18 +XModule 3960 2664 32.7% 30-Jun-98 16:59:22 +Dofile 14468 5535 61.7% 24-Nov-98 13:04:38 +Dofile.guide 888 458 48.4% 24-Nov-98 13:30:18 +Dofile.prefs 7958 2617 67.1% 24-Nov-98 12:43:14 +Dofile.rexx 473 282 40.3% 07-Aug-98 23:51:48 +Dostart.info 764 194 74.6% 04-Nov-94 07:40:28 +App.info 1436 615 57.1% 11-Jul-98 18:37:16 +ConvertDofilePrefs.rexx 614 389 36.6% 26-Jul-98 17:19:46 +ReqCmd.rexx 22644 12150 46.3% 25-Jun-98 17:14:40 +rmh.library -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 60381 30230 49.9% 24-Nov-98 23:00:40 41 files
