- MapLoader
- =========
-
- A Simple Arexx Example Supplied With
- LES Map Editor V2.0
-
- By Stephen McNamara
-
- This program is a very simple example of how to communicate with the Map
- Editor via arexx. Run MapLoader after running Map Editor. It will not pop
- up any requesters are do anything until you press the Arexx control keys
- inside the Map Editor.
-
- For demonstration purposes the default control keys in the Map Editor are:
-
- F1 sys:rexxc/rx 'address "MapLoader" LOAD'
- F2 sys:Rexxc/rx 'address "MapLoader" SAVE'
- F3 sys:Rexxc/rx 'address "MapLoader" QUIT'
- F4 sys:rexxc/rx 'address "MapLoader" ABOUT'
-
- When you press these with the MapLoader program running a requester will
- pop up telling you the name of the command that was executed. If you
- select QUIT, then the program will end after bring up the requester.
-
- MapLoader is a very simple example, in fact it does absolutely nothing.
- The idea is that you'll be able to build on it and make it into a
- customized loader/saver for your own map file formats. Be aware that the
- "MapLoader" segment of the above commands is the portname for the MapLoader
- program - it is not the filename of a program to run. Thus if you change
- MapLoaders arexx portname from "MapLoader" you must change the above
- commands.
-
- IF you have any problems with this program please get it contact with me
- and I'll try and help you out. I'll obviously be more willing to help out
- registered users though :). And please read the full arexx command list
- inside the AmigaGuide documentation for the Map Editor.
-
- Note that the arexx command list for this program is being extended for the
- registered version - if you intend to use arexx extensively you should
- really consider registering your copy.
