CLICon 3.11

A versatile replacement for IconX

Short:        A versatile replacement for IconX
Author:       thomas.richter@alumni.tu-berlin.de (Thomas Richter)
Uploader:     thomas richter alumni tu-berlin de (Thomas Richter)
Type:         util/wb
Version:      3.11
Requires:     An Amiga. Any Os, any version will do. (Even 1.2...)
Architecture: m68k-amigaos

This is a very flexible replacement for C='s IconX command, i.e.
CLICon can launch shell programs from the workbench. Additional to what
IconX does, CLICon scripts accept extended-selected icons as arguments,
the script itself can stored in a batch file or in the icon itself; even
more, two scripts per icon are possible. 

As a second tool, WBLoad is included, which does the opposite of CLICon: 
It launches a workbench program from the shell, providing all necessary
startup messages.

Many examples are included, too (since I personally found the guide is
confusing... ;-)

_____________________________________________________________________________

New in 3.11:

Another fix that became necessary when parsing asterisks in the
command line. The character behind it was not properly carried over to
the command line to execute.

New in 3.10:

Fast forward, 26 years later... CLICon has been slightly reworked.
It now uses standard system requesters for Kickstart 2.04 or better,
and it is now aware of the BCPL escape sequences of the Amiga shell.
WBLoad has also been updated to recognize standard BCPL escape
sequences on its command line parser.

Users of Kick 3.1.4 or better should probably still prefer the
official WBLoad shell command.

New in 3.07.1:

Fixed a bug in WBLoad which could have caused enforcer hits or worse.
This is the same bug that has been removed in the SetVNC program of
the ViNCEd package.
