FilePick - yet another Uselessware product from Amazing Developments.
---------------------------------------------------------------------

WHAT IT DOES

Give it a wildcard, and it'll give back a file picked randomly from all those
which match the wildcard. File - Pick. Marvellous. Useful for all those people
who like to have random WB backdrops or random samples played on bootup. Me,
in fact.

WHY IT'S GREAT

Werl. I wrote it, for a kick off. It can handle up to 300 files, which should
be enough for just about anyone. And it's fairly small.
And it's free.

HOW TO USE IT

filepick <wildcard>

where <wildcard> is a standard AmigaDOS wildcard string, such as #?.iff,
Work:Wossnames/pictures/blimey/deep/directory/this/#?.ilbm, and so on.

It prints out the filename it chooses, so you can use backquoting to pass it
to a command, e.g. "DSound `filepick sounds:StartupSamples/#?.8svx`".

N.B. It uses the T: directory to do something or other, so make sure that
this is assigned somewhere cunning, OK?

OTHER STUFF

FilePick is freely distributable copyright (c) 1994 Amazing Developments/Simon
Brown and all that malarkey. Use it, give it to your mates, throw it on the
fire, stick it up your left nostril, brutally assault Whigfield with it, I
don't care.

Just remember yer old mate Simes if you should win the lottery.

Simes.
