!AppMaker
=========
Switch to mode 12 before running AppMaker as I can't be pissed to write a
mode independance routine because this program won't be used very often
anyway. If anyone writes one, please send it back to me and I'll
re-distribute the new copy of the app.


!AppMaker is a RISC OS application designed to make the creation of other
applications easier. Rather than have to prepare and create a separate
!Boot, !Run, !Sprite and !Help file yourself, you just use !AppMaker.

Once loaded, AppMaker opens up a window - as its only a fairly small program
and unlikely to be used more than once in each session, it doesn't reside on
the icon bar. Selecting the Quit option from the menu, or closing the window
kills the application.

To create a new application, enter its name (and a size if you wish to use a
value other than 32K) then drag the application sprite to the desired
directory viewer. The application will be created with own !Boot, !Run,
!Sprites and !Help file. Of course, you can load any of these into !Paint or
!Edit and edit them if you're unhappy with the defaults set up by the
program.

To open an application's directory, double-click on it whilst holding down
the Shift key (try it with !Paint). The obey files can then be loaded (drag
them - don't double click) into !Edit and the Sprite files into !Paint.

Note that if an application contains a !Help text file, this will be
displayed (or loaded into !Edit) when you select the Help option from the
App.'name' filer menu. !Appmaker sets up a default help file giving the name
and version number of the software - it is up to you to fill in instructions
for the end-user.
