- Short: WarpOS/StormMESA/Warp3D prefs program
- Author: Jacek Rzeuski (jrzeuski@neptun.gdansk.tpsa.pl)
- Uploader: Jacek Rzeuski (jrzeuski@neptun.gdansk.tpsa.pl)
- Type: util/misc
- Requires: MUI
- Version: 1.2
-
- WOSprefs is a MUI frontend which allows you to set various environment
- variables relating to the following programs:
-
- * WarpOS
- * StormMesa
- * GLUT
- * Warp3D
-
- With all the environment variables related to the above packages (over 40
- at the last count), the process of setting them quickly became both long
- winded and unnecessarily tedious.
-
- Face it, who wants to type such convoluted stuff as...
-
- echo >env:mesa/fast "1"
- copy env:mesa/fast envarc:mesa/
-
- ...in the CLI every time they want to change a particular environment
- variable? Get real! Use WOSprefs - it lets you see all these variables
- together, change them, save them to ENV (for testing purposes) or to ENVARC
- (making any changes permanent) - and all with a nice MUI GUI.
-
- WOSprefs also provides brief text descriptions of all the variables so you
- needn't be stumped for the meaning of a particular variable or setting.
-
- Why no-one thought of it before I guess we'll never know!
