 TAUI - The Archives User Interface

************************************

TAUI is a short program that gives you
a Magic User Interface for your lharc.
TAUI uses MUI (the Magic User Interface),
(c) Stefan Stuntz.
(Though, Stefan, could you tell me why
 to install the 2.0 includes to get 
 the program run under MUI 2.0 ???)
It should work with your lharc, though I
have just tried lha yet. Every archives
action is configured thru Tooltypes, so
you can use any lharc.

Thanx to Stefan Stuntz for the MUI !
(Sorry Stefan, haven't registered yet)
Thanx also to Eric Totel for the MUI-Builder,
which makes it easy to create Magic User
Interfaces !

TAUI is Public Domain. It may be copied and 
spread as long as data are stored on disk
(and maybe longer ...). So go on and spread
it. If you like the program send me a postcard
- and if not, don't hold back...=:-)
If you have some bucks left send it to Stefan
Stuntz or Eric Totel for the wonderfull
working enviroment.


TAUI uses two parameter in the Command that
is executet by TAUI-buttons. 
<$arc> is replaced by TAUI with the archives
       name.
<$file> is a filename (if need), it is replaced
       with an (guess what !) filename (yep !).

You will be asked by the program when $arc or
$file is needed to be replaced. e.g. When
the "Add"-button is pressed, a String-Requester
pops up, and you are asked about the archives 
name. TAUI replaces $arc with that string and
$file with the names selected in the listview-
gadgets. TAUI extracts or archives a file(s)
from one listview to the other one. It does not
matter if source-to-dest or dest-to-source.
TAUI uses the active listview (where a border
is around) as source ! To activate a listview,
you have to select an item, it is not enough
to click into the listview (that is MUI behavour).
(Could be important, if you delete files !!)

If you want to read some .readme files (or anything
else) you press the show button. It should 
also be possible to few pictures with that button.
I have configured Multiview to that button to 
view my text files, but MultiView uses Datatypes
to view things. So if you have the right Datatypes,
... Of course you could use your own viewer if you
like. The viewer is started asynchronous.

So folks, I think that's all about TAUI. 
If you have any ideas about TAUI let me know !
