THE CLI WIZARD
Written By J.L. White
(C)1987 Merlin's Software
Version 1.2
What's New:
~~~~~~~~~~~
1. DOUBLE WINDOWS. After many requests, CLI-WIZ now has double windows.
The switch used to swap directories in 1.1 is now used to flip from
source to destination. When it is clicked the directory display is
toggled to the other directory. Which ever directory is displayed
becomes the source directory. Both are buffered and are updated when
files are copied from one to the other.
2. Two new gadgets are setup for 2 of Mark Riley's Fabulous Programs:
A. PAK: can be used like Arc. Click on the files and Pak them!
B. PLAY: will play Sonix songs. Click on a file, enter the Instrument
directory and Turn up the Volume!
3. There are now 24 custom file gadgets and 14 directory gadgets. You
flip between two sets (12 file & 7 directory gadgets).
4. The read command now accepts your favorite type command (more,less,
etc.). You define this in the data file. If one is not found it will
use its own read command.
5. The colors have been corrected in the picture file. Just load into any
paint program and choose your own palette.
6. You can now turn off the sound in the data file. If you do not wish to
have the sound on startup, just edit the data file to turn it off.
7. Alot of code has been cleaned up.
This will be the LAST Shareware version. If you like it and use it send
$15.00 to:

REGISTERED USERS will be informed of our latest releases of this and other
software. You will also receive a copy of the released version at no charge!
Version 1.1
1. The program now runs from Workbench. Icon included.
2. Editing the custom gadgets is much easier. In version 1.0 you had to
zap the program and edit the picture. Now all you have to do is edit
a simple text file. Also there are 12 custom gadgets instead of 8.
3. Bug fixed when rapidly clicking the mouse button. In 1.0 this would
lock up the program. It is no longer a problem.
4. Sound has been added. Beeps for the gadgets and guess what happens
when you delete a file? You can turn off the sound if you wish.
5. There is no longer a Getdir gadget. All you have to do is click on
the directory and it automatically reads it. To delete a directory
simply enter the name in the extention box and click on the Deldir
gadget.
6. There is now a switch on the screen. This is used to swap the source
and destination directories. In the next version this will be set up
like the double window dirutils. It will flip the display from one to
the other.
7. If you have used a dirutil before and used the arc command to unarc
a file, you have probably run accross the problem when it finds a
file with the same name, it gets locked up. Well now it will just
write over the existing file.
8. Assign has been added to the main gadgets. Now assign and arc have
a custom output window. Instead of having to flip back to the
Workbench screen, a window will come up with the output.
9. The gadgets have been moved around to make things a little more
efficient.
10.It will now read a directory with 400 files. If you have that many
files in one directory you must be crazy but it works anyway.
Yet another Disk Utility. I decided to write this because I could not find
one that did everything I wanted. One thing I hated was having to resize
the window all the time to get to icons or other windows, so I put it on a
separate screen. Since I am into graphics so much I added a little Window
Dressing (HAHA). I liked Greg Cunningham's DiskMan but I HATE Hi res flicker,
and I never did care for the double windows. So Anyway this is my rendition.
First off I would like to thank Athan Kartsatos (A.K.A. Souli). He got the
main bugs worked out of this thing and got me up and running. Without his
help you probably would not be reading this. Thanks to Greg Cunningham for
helping me with loading the Graphics. To some this might be an easy task but
since this is only my second project in C it was a big problem. Thanks to
Dan James for help with the sound. Also thanks to Chris Nicotra and Nathan
Barber for getting the ball rolling with the early versions of DirUtil.

* Instructions for THE CLI WIZARD *
*****************************************************************************
To start program go to cli and type RUN WIZARD. It looks for a file called
Wiz.Pic so CD to the directory first. To run from Workbench, simply click
on the icon.
There are 24 gadgets that you can customize yourself. I will explain these
later. I will now briefly explain each of the gadgets functions.
You will need the following files in your C directory:
Run, Ed, Show, Arc, PAK, Play, Assign.
If these files don't exist those gadgets won't work but the rest will.
The files must be named as shown above.
If you have C assigned to somewhere other than the SYS: disk you must also
have the SYS: assigned to that root directory. (ex. vd0:c assign SYS: to
VD0:).

select a directory. If you press return the directory will be read.
E:

name arc or pak files. I did not like to use the D box for this because then
you had to enter the destination directory again to copy the files.

CUSTOM GADGETS:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are 24 gadgets that can now be customized. These are at the bottom right
hand corner of the screen. The directory gadgets can be edited the same way.
EDITING CUSTOM GADGETS:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The 24 gadgets will accept info from the E box. To edit these files simply
load the text file called Wizard.data into a text editor. Each file name
can be up to 30 characters. The name of the gadgets can be up to 7. You
can also change the drive names. Just be sure to write over the existing
names. Don't add any spaces!
Remember that all except info from the E box so clear this before you run
another program. Also files like format that require you to press return
will not wait for a return. It will go ahead and run. So Beware!
Notice you can tell it where to look for the file by adding that to the name.
I hope this has been clear enough. I plan on many new enhancements in the
future. Let me know what you like and dislike about it...Later....J.L. White
