ScriptLauncher is a very configurable program launcher which allows you to
create one or more windows of buttons which can run AmigaDOS scripts. Each
button in each window is associated with a script that can do anything AmigaDOS
commands allow.

See below for what's new in version 1.1 of ScriptLauncher.

You can change just about every aspect of each window and its buttons,
including:

  -  The number of rows, columns, & orientation of buttons
  -  The sizes of the buttons (all buttons of a window are the same size)
  -  Each button's colors
  -  Each button's label
  -  The fonts used for button labels
  -  The AmigaDOS script that the button runs
  -  The public screen the windows appear on
  -  Each window's position on the screen
  -  Margins between and around the buttons
  -  The window's background color

ScriptLauncher uses a text configuration file to specify these parameters.

You can also set up multiple pages of buttons. ScriptLauncher allows you
to define up to 20 pages of buttons. You can move from one page to another,
and you can set up a button to jump to a specific page.

ScriptLauncher requires at least update #1 of OS4.0 and is a native PPC
program. It has no requirements beyond what is included in the basic OS.

Before running ScriptLauncher, you must construct a configuration file
for it, which describes the layout and contents of the buttons it will
create in its window.

ScriptLauncher installation is as simple as copying the executable
to whatever drawer you want it in, such as C: or WBStartup.

ScriptLauncher comes with a small sample configuration file that you can
use as a base for creating your own file from. I also (hopefully) have set
it up so that it will run "out of the box" on OS4 systems if you just want
try it out first. The sample file has comments in it so you can follow what
the various commands are for.

ScriptLauncher is freely distributable, and is (c) Joe Howard. It must
be distributed unchanged and complete with its documentation file.
ScriptLauncher is distributed as-is, without warranty of any kind. You are
not allowed to make any profit if you redistribute ScriptLauncher.

NEW IN VERSION 1.1 OF SCRIPTLAUNCHER

  -  ScriptLauncher can now have multiple windows of buttons open at once.
     The windows can either open when ScriptLauncher starts or be opened
     later via the =OPENWIN script command. Each window can have its own
     attributes such as position, button size, and layout. Scripts can also
     close windows via the =CLOSEWIN script command.

  -  ScriptLauncher allows you to use multiple fonts for button labels.
     The font is normally associated with the button type, but can be
     overridden for each individual button.

  -  The button's label color can also be overridden for each individual
     button.

  -  You can now insert lines in a script when shift-clicking the script's
     button. Examples of how to insert lines at various points are in the
     ScriptLauncher.guide file.

  -  You can use the special keywords LEFT, RIGHT, CENTER (or CENTRE), TOP,
     and BOTTOM to specify a window's position.
