-------------------------
Pui4cli developed in mind to dress'es up some your cli tool with 2 arguments.
This version has limit to Source & Dest as if you have converter tool that
loads & saves a file in different format..


Pui4cli was 1'st used by TXT2PDF.exe than i made bit of changes so other little or
big tools can also use Pui4cli without any programming but just editing the .pui.




note!
-----
You dont enter dest file name just source file pui4cli will save source file with
same name but with new user config'ed .extension.




External Tools
--------------
csv2html.exe 68k (by portacall Augroup to convert csv 2 html) included in this archive.

Txt2pdf has its own gui but you can download the cli version to try out Pui4Cli
at http://aminet.net/text/misc/Txt2Pdf_v1c.lha or get eFetch will AutoDownload from
my site for you.




installing
----------
run einstaller & select dest.(if you have not use einstaller before than aminet=eInstaller.
else
unlha the archive copy Pui4Cli Folder to where ever you like but keep all in one folder.



If i get request
----------------
I can add a another section in .pui file as USER_ARGUMENTS=[-P -NO -NO_OUTPUT -ETC]
than you can run lot of cli tools. (this come to my mind late lol).
if not than this is the only version & there wont be any more versions hehe.


Dummy usage
-----------

For example csv2html.exe use'es to 2 arguments.

usage:csv2html.exe Load_csv_file Save_html_file

so

How does Pui4Cli Helps & use'es csv2html.exe here..than keep on reading.


well you have to edit a dummy file with .pui (Portacall user interface) extension.

&

you must type in all needed parts


example: csv2html.pui  file.
---------------------------
#runtime.config by PAUG(Portacall Amiga User Group)

APPNAME=csv2html                >>>Name or title of the file goes here.

PROGRAMMER=Portacall Group      >>>The coder's name/group name/company.

VERSION=1.1			>>>Version of the file goes here.

#file name'ing
LOAD_ID=Load a File to Convert  >>>The way you explain your self to user.

#runtime
EXECUTE_FROM=sys:c/csv2html.exe >>>Where executable kept in your harddisk.

SHOW_BOOT=NO                    >>>Its portacall group info at beginning & can be YES or NO.

#extension
READ_EXTENSION=.csv             >>>Load only .csv files wont load other .extensions.
SAVE_EXTENSION=.html            >>>Save's with the same path/name with .html extension.

---------------------------

Buttons
-------

Execute   =    will run/execute your commandline.

Download  =    will download latest version from my site.
               make sure you have tcp running or crash due to no tcp check.
               also will set all to default .pui.

Exit      =    will quit or use ESC key to exit.


Things may help
---------------
If you are loading & saving same .extension files than have a look

READ_EXTENSION=.txt
SAVE_EXTENSION=_new.txt (you are allowed like this) but you can not do .txt to .txt



The best part of the usage is you can save many .pui files as you can & load them in
from Pui4cli & run.



BUG
---
Its not bug but PROGDIR: fails (e-mail amiga inc lol not me) joke joke keep reading
well bacause you are actualy running executable from somewhere else thats why it fails
to over come this PROBLEM just dont use PROGDIR: when you are loading a file not .pui file
file you are try'ing to convert.

example:
PROGDIR:sample.csv (dont unless its in same drawer with run'ed executable)
ram:sample.csv (i dont mean just use ram: anywhere but with actual path not "PROGDIR:")




Thats all.
