Short: ENV:-On-HD-Manager. Source incl. V1.4.
Author: pernathw@cip.ub.uni-muenchen.de (Wanja Pernath)
Uploader: pernathw@cip.ub.uni-muenchen.de (Wanja Pernath)
Type: util/boot
ENVMan is the first public release of an enviroment manager. It is
FreeWare but the copyright remains by the author. Source in ANSI C
included. Feel free to modify and/or learn from it.
The only thing I want to see is my Name in your source or documentation,
if you want to use my source.
Sorry, but the documentation of this nice proggy is only in german.
To install ENVMan follow these steps:
- Copy ENVMan000 or ENVMan020 to your C:-Directory and rename it
to ENVMan.
- Create a Directory on your HD with enough space for the full
ENV: Directory. ( like SYS:Env )
- Open your s:startup-sequence and modify the line "Assign ENV: RAM:Env"
to "Assign ENV: SYS:Env"
- Remove the assignment to ENV: with "Assign ENV: RAM:Env REMOVE" and
type "Assign ENV: SYS:Env"
- Copy the contens of ENV: to Sys:Env with the following command:
"ENVMan UPDATE". After 5-6 seconds the contens is copied.
- Run "ENVMan TEST" to get the fastest results.
- After TESTing ENVMan prints out something like this:
...
Largest Copy-Buffer needed: 16716 Bytes.
ExAll()-Buffers needed : 121.
Using this results as options assumes you have at least 187180
Bytes of available memory.
If you are sure to have this amount of memory available during
startup, you can put "ENVMan COPYBUFFER=16716 BUFFERS=121" after the
last Assignment in your s:startup-sequence.
- Now you can reboot your Amiga and ENVMan saves ~200KBytes of available
memory, because the ENV:-Vars and Preferences are no longer in
RAM:-Disk.
