A shareware fee of 15$ is suggested to use it. Feel free to use it, but AT YOUR OWN RISK, as I cannot be considered responsible for any damage caused to your system. Introduction ~~~~~~~~~~~~ CliVa will give you the chance to build a interface entirely configurable to launch your applications from gadgets. If you want to have a better idea of the possibility of CliVa, I encourage you to check for the examples supplied in the archive. To use CliVa, you must have the 'PowerPacker.library' (permit the compression of the config) and the 'req.library'. These two library are present in the archive, if you execute the 'Example' file the library will be charged in memory but not copied to your system. To install them on your system you must click on the 'Install CliVa' Button. Requirement ~~~~~~~~~~~ - CliVa must be able to access the 'PowerPacker.library', the 'req.library' and the 'diskfont.library'. - The file 'echo', 'execute', 'newshell' and 'mouse' must be present in one of the directory of the path. - The OS 2.0 IS NOT required for CliVa. Information on the CliVa executable ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - CliVa is 'pure', you can make it resident. SHELL usage: Cliva {-configuration} Other.config {-configuration} WORKBENCH usage: -configuration ... Other.config ... argument: '-configuration' ==> CliVa take the arguement as if it as been placed at the beginning of the config file. ex. CliVa "-TASK_PRIORITE 3" "-SET_VAR BLACK 0" 'Other.config' ==> Config to load. By default, CliVa search in the current path for the file 'CliVa.config' then he search it in the directory S:. ex. CliVa Other.config @endnode @node TASK_PRIORITY " TASK_PRIORITY " Name: TASK_PRIORITY format: -TASK_PRIORITY priority default: priority = 0 function: Define the task priority of CliVa, must be between -19 and +19. @endnode @node DEF_WINDOW_EXECUTE " DEF_WINDOW_EXECUTE " Name: DEF_WINDOW_EXECUTE format: -DEF_WINDOW_EXECUTE shell_window_definition default: "CON:000/095/640/105/CliVa_Shell" function: Define all shell output specifications which will be opened if the selected gadget needs an output window. @endnode @node ON_SCREEN " ON_SCREEN " Name: ON_SCREEN format: -ON_SCREEN my_screen default: "Workbench" function: Opens CliVa on a particular screen. The supplied name of the screen can consist of the first few letters of the targeted real name screen. If the screen is not found, CliVa will open on the default screen. Make sure you close CliVa before you close the screen it is on, because you will be meditating about your error while rebooting your system.:-) ex. -ON_SCREEN CED -> Open Cliva on the Cygnus Ed screen @endnode @node ICONIFIED " ICONIFIED " Name: ICONIFIED format: -ICONIFIED function: CliVa will start iconified. @endnode @node ICON_WHEN_EXECUTE " ICON_WHEN_EXECUTE " Name: ICON_WHEN_EXECUTE format: -ICON_WHEN_EXECUTE function: The 'AutoIconify' option in the menu will be selected. (more on this AutoIconify function further down) @endnode @node WINDOW_TITLE " WINDOW_TITLE " Name: WINDOW_TITLE format: -WINDOW_TITLE title default: "CliVa 2.0 (c) 1991-1993 Christian Warren" function: Changes the window title. If CliVa's configuration is more than one page, the following will be inserted " (Page xxx/max )" to the titlebar. If the NO_DRAG_BAR option is used, the Screen titlebar will be used. @endnode @node NO_DRAG_BAR " NO_DRAG_BAR " Name: NO_DRAG_BAR format: -NO_DRAG_BAR function: The window does not have a visible DragBar. CliVa will create invisible gadgets to replace those that are eliminated. Those invisible gadgets will be placed at the top of the window. @endnode @node NO_MENU " NO_MENU " Name: NO_MENU format: -NO_MENU function: Does not attach a menu to the screen. You must define a "Quit" gadget if you want to be able to Quit CliVa. @endnode @node FONT " FONT " Name: FONT format: -FONT font height default: system font by default. function: Define the font to be used and its height. ex. -FONT Diamond.font 14 @endnode @node POS_WINDOW " POS_WINDOW " Name: POS_WINDOW format: -POS_WINDOW position_x position_y default: position_x = 0 position_y = 11 function: Define CliVa's top left window corner. If your entry is more then the screen border, the position will be ajusted to be as close as possible. An example would be if you define X as 2000, then CliVa's window will be against the right side screen border. @endnode @node COLOR_WINDOW " COLOR_WINDOW " Name: COLOR_WINDOW format: -COLOR_WINDOW Letter_color Background_color default: Letter_color = 2 Background_letter_color = 1 function: Define colors to be used in the window. These colors are, among things, used for menus and window border. @endnode @node COLOR_BACKGROUND " COLOR_BACKGROUND " Name: COLOR_BACKGROUND format: -COLOR_BACKGROUND color default: color = 2 function: Define color for background of the window. @endnode @node NB_GADGETS " NB_GADGETS " Name: NB_GADGETS format: -NB_GADGETS nb_horizontal nb_vertical default: nb_horizontal = 5 nb_vertical = 4 function: Define how many horizontal and vertical gadgets. @endnode @node UP_TO_DOWN " UP_TO_DOWN " Name: UP_TO_DOWN format: -UP_TO_DOWN function: The gadgets will be numbered from top to buttom instead of left to right. NORMAL UPDOWN 1 2 3 1 4 7 4 5 6 2 5 8 7 8 9 3 6 9 @endnode @node SIZE_GADGET " SIZE_GADGET " Name: SIZE_GADGET format: -SIZE_GADGET Width height default: width = 112 height = 13 function: Define width and height of gadgets. @endnode @node PIXEL_BETWEEN_GADGET " PIXEL_BETWEEN_GADGET " Name: PIXEL_BETWEEN_GADGET format: -PIXEL_BETWEEN_GADGET space_x space_y default: space_x = 12 space_y = 4 function: Define space, in pixels, between the gadgets. @endnode @node PIXEL_FROM_BORDER " PIXEL_FROM_BORDER " Name: PIXEL_FROM_BORDER format: -PIXEL_FROM_BORDER left right top buttom default: left = 16 right = 16 top = 5 buttom = 5 function: Define space, in pixels, between the gadgets and the border of the window. @endnode @node COLOR_BORDER_GADGET " COLOR_BORDER_GADGET " Name: COLOR_BORDER_GADGET format: -COLOR_BORDER_GADGET color_Top color_Buttom default: color_Top = 1 color_Buttom = 0 function: Define colors to be used for the gadgets borders. @endnode @node COLOR_GADGET_DEF " COLOR_GADGET_DEF " Name: COLOR_GADGET_DEF format: -COLOR_GADGET_DEF Letter_color Back_color default: Letter_color = 1 Back_color = 2 function: Define default color for gadgets. @endnode @node FONT_STYLE " FONT_STYLE " Name: FONT_STYLE format: -FONT_STYLE style default: NORMAL function: Define default font style for the gadgets.

BOLDFACE + ITALICS -> 2 + 4 ==> -FONT_STYLE 6 @endnode @node GADGET_ICONIFIED " GADGET_ICONIFIED " Name: GADGET_ICONIFIED format: -GADGET_ICONIFIED name default: "CliVa" function: Define what will be written in CliVa's iconified window. @endnode @node DEF_ICON " DEF_ICON " Name: DEF_ICON format: -DEF_ICON position_x position_y width default: position_x = 0 position_y = 11 width = 100 function: Define CliVa's top left window corner position and width. ( minimum width = 26) The X and Y arguments are subject to the same defenition of POS_WINDOW. The height of the window will respect the gadgets height. @endnode @node SET_VAR " SET_VAR " Name: SET_VAR format: -SET_VAR name value function: Define a variable to ease creation of scripts. You can define as many variables as you wish. Once defined, CliVa will replace the -name- by its -numeric_value- when a configuration needs a number as an argument. If a variable name is define more than once, only the first occurance will be used. Variables usage is encouraged to create easy modifiable scripts. ex. -SET_VAR red 3 -SET_VAR blue 2 -SET_VAR Boldface_Undescore 3 -COLOR_GADGET_DEF red blue -FONT_STYLE Boldface_Undescore @endnode @node Notes_Config " Notes " Notes. - The variables defined by SET_VAR can be used anywhere when the argument required is a number. ex. -SET_VAR red 2 <= OK -SET_VAR Titre "CliVa 2.0" <= ERROR -COLOR_BACKGROUND red <= OK -WINDOW_TITLE Title <= ERROR -WINDOW_TITLE red <= window title -> 'red' - The argument which have imbedded spaces must be quoted using '"'. ex. -WINDOW_TITLE "CliVa 2.0" - These commands MUST BE placed before any gadget definition. If a command is placed after a gadget definition, it will be shown in the gadget definition. - You can comment lines using the '#' at the beginning of the line. @endnode @node Def_Gadgets " Def_Gadgets " Gadgets definition ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ These arguments are used to define a gadget. Title of gadget = Chain of characters to be written in the gadget. The title of the gadget can contain [<number>]. It will insert the content of the defined variable <number>. If the variable's value changes, it will be reflected in the gadget's title ex. variable 1 = "OS 2.0" title = "Color [1]" Result -> "Color OS 2.0" Letter_color = Color used for the letters in a gadget. Back_color = Color for the background in a gadget. Font_style = Font style for a gadget. (see configuration FONT_STYLE) @endnode @node =S " =S " ------------------------ 1. Starting Command -------------------------- format: =S Command [Command ...] function: Define the commands that will be executed when Starting CliVa. No gadgets will be created. This can be usefull if you want to assign some values by default to certain variable. example: =S \vs[1]Workbench \vs[2]df0: \vs[3]df1: =D "DiskCopy from [2] to [3]" DiskCopy \vu[2] TO \vu[3] @endnode @node =D " =D " ------------------------------ 2. Gadget ------------------------------- format: =D Title [Letter_color] [Back_color] [Font_style] Command [Command ...] function: Define a gadget. You must supply a title, others are optional. example: =D "Avail" red blue Avail\w @endnode @node =D* " =D* " ------------------------------- 3. Menu -------------------------------- format: =D* Title [Letter_color] [Back_color] [Font_style] function: Define a 'Menu'. This kind of gadget cannot execute commands. They can be used to seperate different part of your configuration. These Gadget wont have the elevated 3d look like regular ones. You must supply a title, others are optional. example: =D* "Tools" white black @endnode @node =[ " =[ " -------------------- 4. Definition of a Fix Gadget -------------------- format: =[ position Title [Letter_color] [Back_color] [Font_style] Command [Command ...] function: Define a gadget that will show up on every pages, at the same location it was defined for. You must supply the position where you want it to be located. A negatif number will place the gadget counting from the end of the page instead of the beginning. Don't forget to keep in mind the UP_TO_DOWN option. The number of fix gadget is limited to 29. Be carefull not to put all gadgets of a page as Fix ones, in that situation CliVa will fall in a loop and will create zillions of gadgets... example: If NUMBER_GADGET_HORIZONTAL = 4 NUMBER_GADGET_VERTICAL = 3 The gadgets will be numbered as: 1 2 3 4 -12 -11 -10 -9 5 6 7 8 or -8 -7 -6 -5 9 10 11 12 -4 -3 -2 -1 =[ 11 "Next Page" black red \np *** is equal to *** =[ -2 "Next Page" black red \np @endnode @node =[* " =[* " --------------------- 5. definition of a Fix Menu ---------------------- format: =[* position Title [Letter_color] [Back_color] [Font_style] function: Define a Menu that will appear on each pages, starting from the location where it is define. For the rest, its the same as a Fix Gadget. @endnode @node =] " =] " --------------- 6. destruction of a gadget or a Fix Menu --------------- format: =] position function: Kill a Fix Gadget or a Fix Menu. example: ... many pages WithOUT the Bogus gadget ... =[* 2 "Bogus" ... many pages WITH the Bogus gadget ... =] 2 ... many pages without the Bogus gadget ... @endnode @node =E " =E " ---------------------------- 7. Empty Gadget---------------------------- format: =E function: Define a empty gadget. Equal to the defenition: =D* "" @endnode @node =L " =L " --------------------- 8. Empty gadget till next line ------------------- format: =L function: Place 'Empty' gadgets till next line as long as we are not the first gadget of the line, if on the first gadget, nothing will be done. @endnode @node =P " =P " --------------------- 9. Empty Gadget till next page ------------------- format: =P function: Place 'empty' gadget till next page as long as we are not the first gadget of the page, if on the first gadget, nothing will be done. @endnode @node =M " =M " ------- 10. Add an APPMenu to the Tools menu of the Workbench ---------- format: =M Title Command [Command ...] fonction: Define an APPMenu. You must supply a title. You cannot use variable in the title... (ex. '=M "See [1]"' => Title will be "See [1]".) exemple: =M "See Texte" more \f1 @endnode @node Def_Commands " Def_Commands " Options available on the command script line ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ All options start with a BackSlash ('\') and are followed by arguments define between brackets ('[', ']'). If an argument define as [^<number>], then the content of the variable <number> will be used. ex. \vs[1]You have selected the file \f1! \pa[Information][^1][OK] Notes. - When the argument of a command is 'starting directory', you can place a [-] to keep it effective. This function is only usefull when you want to supply values to other arguments (ex. the title) with out having to define it again. ex. Copy \f1[dh0:][From Which file?] TO \f1[][To Which file?] => This way, the starting directory of the second \f1 will be the current directory. But if you replace the second \f1 by '\f1[-][To Which file?]' then the current directory will be the one from which file are copied from, which more practical.. - When the argument is a 'Question', you can place '@' in the question which will insert a line feed at that place. - The variables used in this part of CliVa are define by a number of variable (1 to 15000) and by the content of that variable. Once define, the variable can be used just about anywhere. For example, the content of a variable can be used as a gadget title (see gadget defenition). Be carefull not to get mixed up using CliVa's local variables and the 'Env:' environment variables, you must use the \vfe and \vte functions which provide a way of importing and exporting the content of 'Env:' environments with a CliVa's variable. @endnode @node \b " \b " option: \b function: Executes a backspace in the command. example: Copy df0: to df0:\b\b1: => Copy df0: to df1: @endnode @node \d " \d " option: \d[starting directory][window title] Arg oblig.: None. function: Opens a directory requester. example: cd \d[ram:][Which directory?] @endnode @node \dl " \dl " option: \dl function: Insert the last directory selected. If \f1 or \fm as been used, the path will be inserted. This option can be very useful, take for instance the following example. example: \vs[1]\f1[][File to be executed?] cd \dl => The current directory is the one where \vu[1] => the file to be executed is located. @endnode @node \f1 " \f1 " option: \f1[starting directory][window title][pattern] Arg oblig.: None. function: Open a file requester. The selected file will be inserted in the script. example: Unwarp \f1[download:][Which file?][*.wrp] @endnode @node \fl " \fl " option: \fl[extension] Arg oblig.: None. function: Insert the last selected file. You can change the extension of the file. example: shamsharp \f1 \fl[iff] ==> shamsharp "image.gif" "image.iff" @endnode @node \fm " \fm " option: \fm[starting directory][window title][pattern][max] Arg oblig.: None. function: Open a multiple file requester. You can specify a maximum number of files to be selected. example: View80 \fm[text:][Texts to read?][*][10] @endnode @node \gG " \gG " option: \g and \G function: By default, the files and directories are quoted. These options give you the possibility to remove or insert quotes. \g -> No quotes. \G -> Insert quotes. example: View80 \f \g\f \G\f => view80 "file1" file2 "file3" @endnode @node \oO " \oO " option: \o et \O function: By default, the file is preceded by its path. These options give you the possibility to remove or insert the path. \o -> No path. \O -> Insert the path. example: Deksid \f1 => Deksid "dh0:rep/file" Deksid \o\f1 => Deksid "file" Deksid \O\f1 => Deksid "dh0:rep/file" @endnode @node \pa " \pa " option: \pa[window title][question][Left Cont][Middle Cont][Right Cont] [Left Content][Middle Content][Right Content] Arg needed: Window tiltle and Question. function: Open a requester. If the Left answer is selected, then its content is inserted in the script. Same thing for Middle and Right. example: \pa[Info][Which drive?][df0:][][df1:][df0:][][df1:] @endnode @node \q " \q " option: \q[content by default][window title] Arg needed: Content and Title. function: Ask a question. example: Unwarp \f1 \q[df0:][Which drive?] @endnode @node \ql " \ql " option: \ql function: Insert the last answer to a question. example: cd \q[df0:][Which Drive?] Unwarp \f1 \ql @endnode @node \ivs " \ivs " option: \ivs[variable number] Arg needed: Variable number. function: If the variable IS NOT define, the remaining of the current line will be analysed. example: \ivs[1]\vs[1]\d[ram:][Open a Shell in which directory?] NewShell \vu[1] => The first time this gadget will be executed the directory will be asked. Then the command "NewShell Dir" will be executed without entering anything. @endnode @node \vc " \vc " option: \vc[variable number] Arg needed: None. function: Clear one or all variables of CliVa. If no argument are passed to this function, all variables will be erased. You should always clear local variables to one gadget, since each variable requires memory. example: \vs[1]You have selected the file \f1 \pa[Info][^1] \vc[1] @endnode @node \ved " \ved " option: \ved[variable number][content targeted] Arg needed: Variable number and the content targeted. function: If the variable is define and its content is equal to the targeted one, the rest of the current line will be analysed. (possibility to use pattern when you have the OS 2.0) example: \vs[1]\pa[Info][Question?][Choice a][Choice b][Choice c][a][b][c] \ved[1][a]Command for choice a. \ved[1][a]Other command for choice a. \ved[1][b]Command for choice b. \ved[1][c]Command for choice c. @endnode @node \vnd " \vnd " option: \vnd[variable number][content targeted] Arg needed: Variable number and the content targeted. function: If the variable is define and its content IS NOT EQUAL to the targeted one, the rest of the current line will be analysed. (possibility to use pattern when you have the OS 2.0) @endnode @node \vfe " \vfe " option: \vfe[CliVa variable number][name of the variable ENV:] Arg needed: CliVa Variable number and the name of the variable ENV:. function: Import the content of a variable 'ENV:' in one of 'CliVa'. You must use this function if you want (for example) to modify the content of a Environment 'ENV:'. Note: the name of the variable 'ENV:' can contain a path (ex. 'ram:env/Workbench') but it must not be Quoted. example: \vs[1]\g\o\f1[ENV:][Modify which variable ENV:?] \vfe[2][^1] \vm[2] \vte[2][^1] @endnode @node \vm " \vm " option: \vm[variable number] Arg needed: Variable number. function: Modify the content of a variable. The window title will be 'Modify variable', if that title doesn't reflect your needs, you can always use the \q option which of a more general nature. \vm[1] === \vs[1]\q[^1][Other Title] example: \vs[1]\f1 => 'ram:env/Workbench' \vm[1] Deksid \vu[1]\vc[1] @endnode @node \vs " \vs " option: \vs[variable number][Content] Arg needed: Variable number. function: Assign the content of a variable. If Content is provided, Content will be assigned to the variable. Otherwise the content assigned will be the analysed result of the line on which \vs is. The variable number must be between 1 and 15000. If you enter a number outside of this range, CliVa will accept it but the result could be surprising. example: You have chosen \f1.\vs[1] => Variable 1 = 'You have chosen a "file".' \vs[1][Dummy1]\vs[2][Dummy2] => Variable 1 = 'Dummy1' and Variable 2 = 'Dummy2' @endnode @node \vte " \vte " option: \vte[CliVa variable number][name of the variable ENV:] Arg needed: CliVa variable number and the name of the variable ENV:. function: Export the content of the CliVa variable to the ENV: variable. Note: Unlike \vfe, the name of the variable ENV: can not contain the path.. example: \vfe[2][WorkBench] \vm[2] \vte[2][WorkBench] @endnode @node \vu " \vu " option: \vu[variable number][content by default] Arg needed: Variable number. function: Insert in the script the content of a variable. If the variable is not define, the default content will be used. example: Format DRIVE \vu[1][df0:] name \q[Stuff][New name?]\w\nd @endnode @node \I " \I " option: \I function: After the gadget as been executed, CliVa will iconify. example: CliVa s:other.config\I @endnode @node \QQ " \Q " option: \Q function: After the gadget as been executed, CliVa will quit. example: CliVa s:CliVa.config\Q ==> RE-LOAD CliVa config. @endnode @node \np " \np " option: \np function: After the gadget as been executed, the page number will be incremented by one. Many \np can be in the same command. example: =D "Next Page" \np @endnode @node \pp " \pp " option: \pp function: After the gadget as been executed, the page number will be decremented by one. Many \pp can be in the same command example: =D "Pr dente Page" \pp @endnode @node \p " \p " option: \p[page number] Arg needed: Page number. function: After the gadget as been executed, the page number will be changed to the one supplied. example: =D "Go to page 3" \p[3] @endnode @node \sa " \sa " option: \sa function: DeSelect the AutoIconify option in the menu. @endnode @node \sAA " \sA " option: \sA function: Select the AutoIconify option in the menu. @endnode @node \sm " \sm " option: \sm function: DeSelect the modify option in the menu. @endnode @node \sMM " \sM " option: \sM function: Select the modify option in the menu. @endnode @node \m " \m " option: \m function: The line which contains \m may be modified when the gadget is executed. See the 'Modify Command' option. example: cd dh0: ==> doesn't modify Avail\m ==> modify's dir ==> doesn't modify @endnode @node \MM " \M " option: \M function: Starting at the line where \M is, all lines can be modified when the gadget is executed. See the 'Modify Command' option. example: cd dh0: ==> doesn't modify Avail\M ==> modify's dir ==> modify's @endnode @node \ael " \ael " option: \ael[Window Title][Question][Positive Resp][Negative Resp] Arg needed: Window Title and Question. function: If the answer is Positive, then the rest of the current line will be analysed. example: avail \eal[Question][Execute Deksid before dir?][Yes][No]Deksid dir @endnode @node \aes " \aes " option: \aes[Window title][Question][Positive Resp][Negative Resp] Arg needed: Window Title and Question. function: If the answer is Positive, then the rest of the lines will be analysed. example: avail \aes[Question][Execute Deksid and dir?][Yes][No]Deksid dir @endnode @node \des " \des " option: \des[Window Title][Question][Positive Resp][Negative Resp] Arg needed: None function: If the answer to the question is Negative or the title and the question are not supplied, Then the script will not be executed. example: avail \des[Question][Execute Avail, Deksid and dir?][Yes][No]Deksid dir @endnode @node \es " \es " option: \es function: Execute the content of the script after the current line as been analysed even if the analysis is not fully completed. Once the script as been started, the rest of the commands will be analysed. example: avail\es\w dir\es\w => opens 2 output windows, and executed asynchronously avail and Dir @endnode @node \nd " \nd " option: \nd function: By default, if the \w option is used, the following DOS command will be added to the script 'echo Press mouse button' and 'mouse'. Which will prevent the window from closing till you hit the mouse button to exit. With the \nd option, these two commands are not added to the script. example: echo "Read quickly :)"\w\nd @endnode @node \w " \w " option: \w function: Signals the script that an OutPut window is needed. What this is really, the DOS command executed will be 'NewShell "shell_window_definition" from script' instead of 'Execute script' example: avail\w @endnode @node \X " \X " option: \X function: Execute immediately the line where \X is.
