SuperSelector version 3.30beta - notes and stuff - by TC Wilson
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Is a mouse like a major bug in a program or what?"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What is SuperSelector?
Well, SuperSelector is a ProDOS-8 based program that allows you to select and
run programs (SYStem, BINary, or BASic files) on any ProDOS disk, using either
the keyboard -OR- the mouse to select the file(s). It was orignaly designed to
allow selecting files before ProSel existed, and as designed, outperforms
ProSel as a general file launcher.
You simply set SuperSelector up as "Selector.System" as the first
"xxx.System" file to be run when ProDOS boots, and you're off and running.
SuperSelector requires ProDOS-8, 64k (min - does NOT use any more than that),
the 65C02 cpu and the MouseText character rom (read: //c, //gs, enhanced //e).
A mouse is optional.

Please note that this program is BETA - I'm in the process of re-writing the
3.23 program over to handle Applications (previously called QuickDo) keys in a
different manner. The problem is that the drive that all the source was on took
a nose-dive, along with most of my notes on the subject. Sigh.
In any case, the program DOES work, with the execption of the Applications
handling. The commands (and routines) are there, but you can't get them to
work.
Play with this thing and let me know how it works out for you. Best way is to
call TCQ's number and get an account; you'll get faster responce that way,
since it seems all mail going into and from my InterNet account is being either
mis-directed or intercepted.
