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

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

  -  The number of rows, columns, & orientation of buttons
  -  The size of the buttons (all buttons are the same size)
  -  Each button's colors
  -  Each button's label
  -  The font used for button labels
  -  The AmigaDOS script that the button runs
  -  The public screen the window appears on
  -  The window 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 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.
