- 1. Introduction.
-
- This program has been developed to enable users to access programs
- which are several subdirectories down. It can best be described as
- a CASE command for use with batchfiles. The user is asked to input
- a character. The program then executes a batchfile, which must be
- in the S: directory, called Jump.CMD. This file contains a number
- of labels and depending on the inputted character a skip to one of
- these labels is made. The program checks if the inputted character
- is one of those that that has been specified in the options list.
-
- Features.
-
- - Fully compatible with both Workbench V1.2 and V1.3.
- - Works with all Amigas.
- - Supports most AmigaDos devices.
- - The built-in Help function. Just type Jump ?.
- - Allow easy access to programs which are several subdirectories
- down.
- - Extensive checking on validity of inputted characters.
- - One key execution of the program. With WB 1.3 rename Jump.Bat as
- J and set it's script bit. Or put it under a (function) key with
- one of the various setkey programs.
-
- 2. Usage
-
- Usage : Jump <options>
-
- Where <options> is a list of characters that are consideres valid
- valid input.
-
- How to use this program? Well it is fairly simple.
-
- First create a file called: Jump.BAT in your S: directory. This is
- the file to execute.
-
- Eg.:
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
- Type s:Jump.SCR
- Jump qwertyuiopasdfghijklzxcvbnm1234567890-=\/
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Where the characters after the Jump command signify the characters
- that are valid inputs. These must be identical to the names of the
- labels in Jump.CMD.
-
- Jump.SCR is an example of a file displaying a menu on your screen.
- Eg.
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
- Jump Example Menu
-
- A. Sonix V2.0 N. DPaint II 1. Photo Synthesis
- B. AudioMaster O. DPaint II(PAL) 2. Photon Paint
- C. Perfect Sound P. DPaint III 3. Sculpt 4D
- D. Deluxe Music Q. PixMate 4. VideoScape 3D
- E. 68000er Sampler R. DigiPaint 320x200 5. DBW-Render
- F. Future Sound S. DigiPaint 320x400 6. L.C.A.
- G. Instant Music T. DigiView V2.0 7. Caligari
- H. Music Studio U. DigiView Gold 8. FantaVision
- I. GfA Basic V. DigiView Gold(PAL) 9. AmigaTex
- J. Amiga Basic W. Perfect Vision 0. RIM-5
- K. Lattice C V5.0 X. The Director -. Micro Fiche Plus
- L. Aztec C V3.6 Y. Tv*Show V1.03 =. SuperBase Pro
- M. Modula II Z. Diamond \. WordPerfect 4.1
-
- Press / to quit without selecting.
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
-
- This example uses some of the more popular! programs for clarity.
- These programs are not included with Jump.
-
- Now follows an example, taking the above menu as a guide, of the
- file S:JUMP.CMD.

-
- The files: Jump.BAT, Jump.CMD and Jump.SCR should also be included
- on this disk. Feel free to use and adapt them to your own system.
- Although Jump was initially developed for a harddisk, it can also
- be used with floppydrives. Just substitute the volumename for dh0:
- and the system will ask you for that specific volume. If you want
- to make the most use of Jumps capabilities, I would advice to read
- BANTAM's The AmigaDOS Manual. It will give you the information you
- need to create batch files that can be called from Jump.CMD.
-
- Requirements:
-
- - A standard Amiga with 512KByte of memory will suffice. Make sure
- though, that there is enough free memory or the program aborts.
- - The file <Jump.CMD> must be present in the S: directory and also
- syntacticly identical to the above example. Ie., the first line
- must be: ".key varname", and the second line: "skip <varname>".
- Labels should have a one character name.
-
- The program should support all regular Amiga devices. I tested it
- with DF0: to DF2:, VD0:, VDK:, RAM:, CARD: and DH0: to DH2:. It is
- compatible with both WorkBench 1.2 and 1.3. I haven not tested it
- with 1.1 though.
