- 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).
-
- The file Icn.inf MUST be copied in the directory in which you have put Script Maker
- or it will not work.
-
- 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
-
- April 1995 Version 1.2 Script Makers now puts the 's' flag
- so the script can be run directly from
- CLI. It also puts a project icon with
- IconX as default tool for the same purpose
- from WB. These two features have been
- suggested by qben@lysator.liu.se
- (Tommy Johansson). Thank you Tommy !

- 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...).
