CONFIGWS.DOC
01/08/94
The CONFIGWS program is used to permanently switch the defaults for certain
Wayne Software and U.S. Department of Commerce programs.
Note that CONFIGWS will update the EXE date of any program you process with it.
As such, the file date shown by DOS will not match the revision date shown when
you actually run the program.
CONFIGWS looks for any of a list of executable files in your default
subdirectory. It allows you to modify any it finds, giving you a list of the
possible programs. The same CONFIGWS will let you modify any of the programs it
finds; you don't have to keep multiple versions of CONFIGWS.EXE.
Currently, CONFIGWS will let you set the following defaults in the following
routines:
Routine Settable defaults Values
AV Pause output /P or /-P
List order /ON, /O-N, /OS, /O-S, /OD, /O-D
/OE, /O-E, /OC, /O-C

/OVERSKIP
Copy order /ON, /O-N, /OS, /O-S, /OD, /O-D
Move or copy /MOVE or /COPY
Multi- or single disk /MULTI or /SINGLE
FIXTEXT Input text file type /CRLF, /CR, /LF, or /-LINE

MULTICOL Action update bad data /SKIP, /MISSING, or /ABORT
Beep when done /BEEP or /-BEEP
Overwrite output file /OVERWRITE, /-OVERWRITE, or
/OVERASK
READ Monochrome or color /MONO or /-MONO
Printer definition /PLPT1:, /PLPT2:, /PCOM1:,
/PCOM2:, or /PREAD.DMP
Access to DOS functions /DOS, or /-DOS
In addition, CONFIGWS also changes the defaults to the following routines
which are no longer being updated:
ADD Add what's selected vs not /V or /-V
Show line count only /C or /-C
Case-insensitive search /I or /-I
READWK Monochrome or color /MONO or /-MONO
Printer definition /PLPT1:, /PLPT2:, /PCOM1:,
/PCOM2:, or /PREAD.DMP
TAKE1ST Reverse match criteria /V or /-V
Case insensitive /I or /-I
Write out unique or dups /UNIQUE or /DUPS
Running the program:
CONFIGWS [ routine ] [ /MONO | /-MONO | /COLOR | /-COLOR ] [ /? ]
where:
"routine" is the name of the routine to change. ".EXE" is presumed. You can
fully specify the location and name of the program if you want but CONFIGWS will
search for it if you don't. If CONFIGWS is in the same subdirectory as the
other program, it won't have any trouble finding it. If you don't specify
anything, you'll get a current list of all CONFIGWS-able programs that are in
your default directory.
"/MONO" or "/-COLOR" sets the screens to monochrome.
"/-MONO" or "/COLOR" sets the screens to color and is typically the default.
"/?" or "/HELP" or "HELP" gives you syntactical help with the command.
