Introduction
------------

A few weeks ago I uploaded HD install scripts to Aminet. While I was
reading them I realized that there were only few differences between them.
So I decided to create Script Maker, which can generate an Amiga DOS install
script just with a few details.


Installation / Needs
--------------------

Easy : copy Script Maker where you want. Don't forget it needs Ixemul.library to
work (available from Aminet or GCC package).

Generated script will need standard Amiga DOS commands, like ECHO, COPY, and so on...
It will need REQUESTFILE and REQUESTCHOICE but if you can't use them on your computer
just modify the script after it has been generated.

Usage
-----

From CLI : ScriptMaker < Name >

where Name is the name of the script you are creating.

Once run, Script Maker will ask you some questions. They are not detailed
here because they are quite simple.

After this you have a nice script.

Script Maker only generates a simple script which copies every file from disks
to hard disk after asking you where to put it. If you need specific copy you
will have do modify the script yourself.


Disclaimer
----------

You use Script Maker at your own risks. It has been tested for hours on my computer
(A1200). I can't be responsible if it breaks something (it shouldn't, due
to the technics used).
By the way I've just tested it installing FlashBack (thank you Delphine Software for
this GREAT game) and it worked fine.


History
-------

April 1995              Version 1.0             First release

To do
-----

Well, I'd like to add many things to it, like :

        - A nice interface

        - Recall previous scripts mode

        - Specify mode (not only #? to copy files)

        - Installer and other Shells versions of the generated script

        - New things I don't imagine now


And wathever you tell me, if I can do it (I'm a student and I have so much work...).
