This program reads the contents of a drawer named "ToolMenu" on your hard-
disk and installs all icons found there into the "Tools" workbench menu.

The programs are then easely run by selecting their names from the menu,
as if they have been double clicked on the workbench.

The menu is automatically updated in case an icon is dropped into it, or
removed from it. Thus, "ToolMenu" implements a simple "Apple Menu".


To be able to run more complex programs that require their home directory
set, check the "CLICon" program of the same author.

More details are in the guide.

History:

Release 1.12:

	Fast forward, 27 years later... ToolMenu now checks the
	for the availability of the $STACK: cookie in the binaries
	it loads and potentially adjusts the stack size of the
	target accordingly. Other than that, ToolMenu was slightly
	streamlined, but no major changes were necessary.

Release 1.11:

	The next update after two years: Added a workaround to keep
	PatchWork from screaming, added another workaround against
	a bug in the workbench.library. In case a program closes the
	workbench, an AddAppItem() call crashes. ToolMenu keeps now
	the workbench locked open as long as it deposits its items
	into the ToolMenu bar.
