Chooser was written to be a replacement for Nico François' menu program,
Selector. This is because Selector didn't adapt to screens which didn't use
the topaz 8 font. This meant that it didn't look that good when run on a
lot of peoples Workbench screens.

Another problem with Selector was that it couldn't be run from the
Workbench, only from the CLI which made it a bit awkward to use if you want
to use it on a non autobooting disk. This would mean that you would have to
write a script using IconX or some equivalent to run it.

Chooser works with all versions of Workbench from 1.3 to 3.0 (3.1 untested)
