NAME
IfQual - start a program if defined qualifiers are (not) pressed
SYNOPSIS
IfQual [qualifier ...] program arguments
TEMPLATE
NOT,
LBUT/S,MBUT/S,RBUT/S,CTRL/S,CAPS/S,LSHIFT/S,RSHIFT/S,
LALT/S,RALT/S,LAMIGA/S,RAMIGA/S,DO/A/F
DESCRIPTION
IfQual starts a program if the given qualifiers are pressed.
Any combination may be given, though some are not recommended...
(e.g. ctrl-lamiga-ramiga) or some need special hardware. (Three-button
mouse :)
If NOT is in the argument list, the program will be started if
given qualifiers are not pressed.
LBUT, MBUT, RBUT: Mousebuttons: left, middle & right
CTRL, CAPS, LSHIFT, RSHIFT, LALT, RALT, LAMIGA, RAMIGA:
obvious, at least I think so.
DO: this is the program and it arguments that should
be started if conditions are met.
program is started with System(), so the program may also
be a shell or rexx script.
EXAMPLE
I use IfQual, to decide which system to boot AmigaOS or NetBSD.
When I presss the middle mousebutton it should be NetBSD.
The first line in my startup-sequence is:
IfQual MBut loadbsd -a -c 2000 karamba:nbsd/netbsd
COMPABILITY
IfQual needs at least 'input.device' and 'dos.library' V36.
Both are part of the system software... The required software
is included in AmigaOS 2.0, 2.1, 3.0, 3.1. Other versions may differ,
though this is not very likely.
