- Why you should use AutoCLI
- --------------------------
-
- Very briefly I would like to explain why you should
- be using AutoCLI instead of other programs of the same
- kind. AutoCLI was initially written due to problems with
- other programs and the standard Shell. When a Shell or
- CLI window is launched with other programs, they lose
- important information that can make life much easier on
- the Amiga. Most users set a path and stack in their
- startup sequence, have you ever typed stack or path in
- your CLI to see if infact they are the same as you set.
- Chances are they are not. Does the program you are using
- now allow you to always be in certain directory every time
- you 'pop' it up?. AutoCLI retains all this information at
- the time it is launched, so whatever your stack and path
- were set at, and whatever directory you were CD'ed to at
- the time AutoCLI was launched, will be passed to the CLI
- or SHELL that it opens. AutoCLI also offers a default
- SHELL auto size, that will always follow the size of the
- current screen, so whatever you change the size to, AutoCLI
- will open the window to 1 pixel less than that full size,
- even if the screen size changes after AutoCLI is running.
- 1 pixel less, allows you to always go to the extreme bottom
- or right and click, to activate the WB screen to give access
- to the menus while still giving a full size Shell.
- AutoCLI has been given all the functions that users have
- requested, and has been tested on a large variety of Amiga
- models and kickstart/WB versions. It is fully compatible
- with V2.04 Kickstart/WB. The entire program is written in
- assembly language to allow it to be faster than its 'C'
- written rivals.
-
- If you would like more information, please read the accompanying
- doc file for AutoCLI.

- If AutoCLI does not have your favourite function then contact
- me and I will do my best to insert it for you. I can be
