Q2TSE
Q2TSE is a macro that will extract many of your configuration
settings from QEdit 2.x versions and place them into your TSE.CFG
file (or a separate file, if you choose). Q2TSE will also extract
the key assignments from your qconfig.dat file and place them in
your TSE.KEY file (or a separate file, if you choose).
Q2TSE will work with QEdit versions 2.07a and greater. To use the
macro, change to the directory where the Q2TSE.MAC file is located
and enter the following at the DOS prompt:
e -eq2tse
If you have renamed E.EXE to something else, then replace the lone 'e'
in the line above with the new name of your E.EXE. For example,
if you renamed E.EXE to TSE.EXE, then type tse -eq2tse
After you have entered the correct parameters on the DOS command line
and pressed <RETURN>, you will now see the following prompt box on your
screen, with the default values as shown:
┌────────────────── Update QEdit 2.x to TSE Pre-Release 1.0 ───────────────────┐
│ QEdit 2.x executable [ Q.EXE] │
│ QEdit 2.x config file [ QCONFIG.DAT] │
│ TSE config file [ TSE.CFG] │
│ TSE Key file [ TSE.KEY] │
├──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ Begin Update Now │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
QEdit 2.x executable - This is the name and path (if not in the current
directory) of your QEdit 2.x executable file.
QEdit 2.x config file - This is the name and path (if not in the current
directory) of your QEdit 2.x keyboard file.
TSE config file - This is the name and path (if not in the current
directory) of your TSE configuration file.
TSE Key file - This is the name and path (if not in the current
directory) of your TSE key assignment file.
Once you have updated the values in the prompt box to reflect your setup,
select "Begin Update Now".
* Please note: If either QEdit 2.x file does not exist, you will have
to re-execute Q2TSE and supply the valid names and
paths. If the TSE files do not exist, you will be
prompted as to whether or not you want to create them.
Q2TSE will extract the necessary settings from the 2.x version of
QEdit and place them in the specified TSE config file. If an option
already exists in the TSE config file, then it's value is modified
to reflect the setting extracted from the 2.x version of QEdit.
Q2TSE will extract the key assignments from the specified QEdit 2.x
keyboard file, making necessary conversions (if possible), and place
them in the specified TSE Key file. If a key assignment already
exists in the TSE Key file, it will be updated to reflect the newer
assignment.
*NOTE* - If you do not want to mix the QEdit 2.x assignments
with the key assignments that are present in the TSE Key file,
specify a new filename for the TSE Key file before selecting
"Begin Update Now".
If QEdit macros or QEdit commands cannot be converted, a note will
be made in the TSE Key file (using the Warn() command) so that you
can make adjustments manually.
NOTES (Read prior to "burn-in" process):
The ToggleEGA43 QEdit command is converted so that the video
will change between _25_LINES_ and _43_LINES_. If you are using
a VGA monitor, you may want to replace the occurrence of
_43_LINES_ with _50_LINES_ , so that you will use _25_LINES_ and
_50_LINES_ as the "toggle". Be sure to locate the conversion in
your TSE Key file and make these adjustments before "burning-in"
the newer Key file.
Since QEdit does not have "HelpLines", ShowHelpLine is set OFF
in the specified TSE config file, and HelpLine assignments are
commented out if they exist in the specified TSE Key file. If
you want to use the HelpLines, be sure to make the necessary
adjustments to the individual HelpLine assignments in your TSE
Key file, and be sure to set ShowHelpLine ON in your TSE
configuration file. (Refer to page 49 and 212 in the "Advanced
User's Guide" for information about HelpLines and ShowHelpLine)
QEdit's QuickHelp is not converted. You will need to create a
help construct (page 36 in the "Advanced User's Guide") using
the contents of your QEDIT.HLP file, and replace the existing
TSE.HLP file with the file you create. You will need to edit
your TSE.KEY file and assign the ShowHelp() command (using your
defined help) at the appropriate location. (Refer to page 168 in
the "Advanced User's Guide" for a description of ShowHelp()).
MainMenu() is assigned to the key(s) that had ESCAPE assigned
to them in your specified QEdit 2.x keyboard file.
A QEdit 2.15 compatible menu will be posted in this conference
as soon as it is available.
Once you have made the necessary adjustments, you will need to save
the newly created files and use SC.EXE to "burn-in" your new
configuration and key file so the new settings will take effect. If
you have chosen new file names for either of the specified TSE
files, be sure to update your TSE.S file with the names of the new
files before running the "burn-in" process. (Refer to page 48 of the
"Advanced User's Guide" for information about the "burn-in"
process).
