The following is a minimal example of the /.twinrc file:
[boot]
control=1
windows=/willows/twin/windows
openpath=/willows/bin/win:/willows/bin/demo
This file is a standard windows .ini file, with 1 required section,
the [boot] section. This section allows you to set the following:
control | This variable controls certain runtime |
configuration switches. The low four bits | |
enable various runtime verbose output, the | |
other control advanced run-time features | |
that are described in the readme.twinrc file. | |
windows | This variable points to where the microsoft |
WINDOWS directory is located, this is the | |
same as the C:
![]() | |
where we will search for .ini files. This | |
directory will contain the windows SYSTEM | |
directory containing windows dll's. | |
openpath | This colon separated list is equivalent to |
the PATH variable under windows and unix. | |
This path is where we should search to find | |
applications that are not given fully | |
qualified pathname. |
Assuming that xwin32 is in your PATH environment variable
xwin32 will bring up the common file dialog asking for
what windows executable to run.
Examples of running a specific windows application
Options (a),(b) assume that sol.exe is in the openpath list, an .exe
suffix is assumed if not given. Option (c) provides an explicit
unix pathname to the windows executable, while option (d) provides
a DOS pathname to the executable. (see the documentation on the
twinrc run-time configuration file to see how to set additional
drive letters, other than the default C:
mapping to / )
