STOS ACB SELECTOR
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As a challenge to myself I decided to attempt a program which
may be of use to those like Paul Roughly, who wanted to be able to
automatically load a selection of ACB files into STOS on boot up.
It is not elegant, but it is structured (by the CHAOS method).
If you are dubious about its use, then try it on a floppy
based BACKUP of STOS. I would reccomend that procedure anyway.
Compile the program AFTER setting up the two paths needed to
locate your STOS\EDITOR.ENV file,(mine STOS is deeply nested inside
several folders, hence this method of locating it!)
Once compiled, you MUST place the program BEFORE STOS.PRG in
the auto folder. Then reset and use it!
The program works as follows...
1) The program locates and loads the current EDITOR.ENV file
within your STOS folder.
2) Then the ACB files outside the STOS folder are located and
displayed on the screen.
3) Use the left mouse button to select the ACB's you wish to
install, and press the right mouse button when you have made
your selections-remember up to 12 may be selected.
4) Press SPACE to exit with no action taken by the program.
5) If you do press the right button and you have made at least 1
and no more than 12 selections, the file names are inserted into
EDITOR.ENV and that file is resaved. (No backup is made).
6) The run is then complete.
The mouse flickers a lot, and you have to be quick with the
left clicks, but it does work ok.
DISCLAIMER: USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.

OH! And due to the lateness of the time, I have not error trapped ANY
part of the program-do it yourself!
