- ReadMe for ToolManager 1.5 10.10.1991
-
- ToolManager's purpose is starting Workbench tools and CLI programs. You can
- add your own programs to the Tools menu or put a special Application Icon on
- the Workbench, which works even with CLI tools. Every tool can have a special
- icon that is "docked" to a line of icons. The programs can be started by
- selecting their entries in the Tools menu and any selected icon from the
- Workbench will be the startup parameters for the program. You can also start a
- program by dropping an icon on the Application Icon or by double-clicking the
- icon. Or you can drop an icon on the "docked" icon or by clicking the "docked"
- icon. Last but not least you can start a program with a keyboard short cut.
-
- BEWARE: This program makes heavily use of new 2.0 functions, so its completely
- useless to all people who are still forced to use 1.3 :-) To get the
- full functionality you should run it only under 2.04.
-
- USAGE: Use lz/lharc to extract the files from the archive. Open the ToolManager
- drawer and double click on the ToolManager icon. It will use the example
- configuration file.
