Preferences - 1.01
==================

A preferences window with grouped icons for launching the prefs-programs
found in "SYS:Prefs/". Please, see the snapshot(s) for examples how it looks.

Note
----
This program needs the info (icon) datatype to be installed, if not
please install it before, you can find it here:
http://os4depot.net/index.php?function=showfile&file=datatype/icon/info_dt.lha

Further, it is assumed that the RexxMast (ARexx) is up and running.

Features
--------
- Groups the OS4.1 default Prefs-apps into five main categories.
- Uses the same images as the current icons set.
- Supports localisation.
- Possible to open the "Presets" WB drawer.
- Possible to open the "Prefs" WB drawer.
- AmiUpdate-prefs-app ("Updates") is supported.
- Help-key brings up the About window.

Tip
---
It becomes pretty nice, if it's added to the AmiDock :)

Installation
------------
- To install, you could either:
  1) Just copy the whole "Preferences" drawer to anywhere you like and start
     it from there.
  2) Or, you can execute the script called "Install" in this archive.
     Afterwards you should find a program with the name "Preferences"
     in your SYS: drawer.
- To uninstall, execute the script called "Uninstall" in this archive,
  or simple delete the Preferences drawer and it's icon from where you've
  put it.
