Iconshell
Files required to run:
SHELL.EXE
SHELL.SPR
SHELL.HLP
SHELLR.BAT
desktops are saved into xxx.cfg files.
Installation: Copy the files into a directory.
See later for detailed instructions.
Starting up: Type SHELLR
or SHELLR c:\shell.cfg
Registered version improvements:
Very fast loading of screens for background. A full disk of pictures
is provided with the registered version.
A program converts PCX pictures to the format for backgrounds.
A program allows to merge two files of icons.
The command line may have three parameters: desktop filename, file of
icons, background, they are optional.
Until 64 file descriptions allowed in the directory window (8 only
with this version).
Three new files of icons, from commercial & shareware softwares.
of course, removing screen and references as a shareware evaluation version.
INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE
Copy first the files on the disk or the hard drive unit where they
will be used. If they are stored into an archive, copy the archive
into a directory and unpack it here.
If you want Iconshell automatically load at the start-up of the compu-
ter, add the following command on the last line of the AUTOEXEC.BAT
file:
SHELL.EXE C:\SHELL.CFG
or SHELLR.BAT C:\SHELL.CFG
The second syntax is to have Iconshell automatically reloaded when
one quits a program that Iconshell has launched.
If a previous to 1.8 version is already installed on the disk, erase
first all older files of this version, to avoid compatibility pro-
blems.
Once installed, change the content of icons to give files their
full path with correct drive and dir.
You must absolutely set an exact path to the three desktop loading
icons: Shell, Disk command, SW tools, and all future desktop you
will create.
For example, the current content of the "Disk command" icon is:
BOARD DISK.CFG
Change that to a full path, for example:
BOARD C:\DISK.CFG
And then, you can move to any sub-directory and apply the disk com-
mands to current sub-directory.
Program that have their path included into the definition of the PATH
variable in AUTOEXEC.BAT does not need for a path definition in the
icon. For example, all files in the directory DOS are always acces-
sible if AUTOEXEC.BAT has a line as:
PATH=C:\DOS;
STARTING UP ICONSHELL
Type: shell
or shellr
It's better to specify the path of the desktop file:
shellr c:\shell.cfg
If installed on the c: drive, type simply SE.
SE.BAT returns to the root directory of the c: disk, and load
Iconshell with the SHELL.CFG desktop file as parameter.
