Short: ARFS - An introduction to ARexx Author: jcollett@waikato.ac.nz (John Collett) Uploader: gmaddox netcentral co uk (Graham Maddox) Type: docs/help Architecture: generic ARexx - First Steps ------------------- ARexx - First Steps (ARFS) is a tutorial designed to help intending and on-going users of ARexx. It concentrates on the basics, dealing with about 130 topics, and including over 60 runnable examples. It is arranged in a linear fashion for ease and clarity. Other sources of help already exist, but they are generally packed with so much material that they are daunting for beginners, and so full of links that even the most hardened user of AmigaGuide documents can soon lose his way and become bewildered. While 'ARexx - First Steps' may be accessed using AmigaGuide, it was designed for access via Gui4Cli and FastRead (both included). * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *** Gui4Cli *** An interpretive GUI programming language (c) 1995-1997 by D.C.Keletsekis Gui4Cli is an interpretive programming language for the easy creation of GUIs. It provides Gadgets, Menus, Appitems etc, through an easy script-like language, allowing you to construct and visually edit in real time resizable font-sensitive GUIs and through them, control other programs by issuing CLI and ARexx commands. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * The author of Gui4Cli has graciously consented to the inclusion of Gui4Cli in the ARFS package. We respond to his courtesy by affirming that in our experience Gui4Cli is one of the best things that has ever happened to the Amiga. Gui4Cli is copyright D.C.Keletsekis and is SHAREWARE.
