- DefTool
- ~~~~~~~
-
- Written on an Amiga 3000UX in SAS C 5.10a by Robert Lang and dedicated to
- Suzanne Day and of course © Edgeware.
-
- Another small, quick utility whipped up in C in no time at all ! This simple
- program sets the Default Tool of an icon. This has the same effect as selecting
- "INFO" on the icon on workbench and changing the text in the Default Tool Type
- to the text. Except, I'm sure you'll agree, that if you're a shell-freak like
- me then this is much quicker.
-
- Usage is simple...
-
- DefTool File Tool
-
- e.g. DefTool nice_pic.info topik_45:c/mostra
- (Clicking on the icon will invoke topik_45:c/mostra !)
-
- (The file can have the .info or not, my program will figure it out.)
-
- I haven't written any pattern matching into this, because its not really needed.
- The following can be done for batch jobs:
-
- For example, suppose we want to set a range of pictures on topik_45: to be
- displayed using topik_45:c/mostra. The following commands are given :
-
- 1> list >ram:script topik_45:#?.pic.info lformat="DefTool %S%S topik_45:c/mostra"
- 1> execute ram:script
-
- The first line creates a script for all #?.pic.info files on topik_45: and then
- the second line of course executes it.
-
- Simple as that ! (For more info on LIST, see my article on a Megadisc
- somewhere...call Tim Strachan on 02-9593692 about which Megadisc the article is
- on....)
-
- This program is FREELY DISTRIBUTABLE, and may not be used on any commercial
- product without my permission. It can only be distributed with this document
- in tact and for no more than current Megadisc or Fred Fish prices.
