Config/Autoexec Manager Professional II Preface
P R E F A C E
Many changes have been made to develop CAMPRO from CAM v1.3, most
notably the screen layout and the addition of the Category
Selection, color definitions for different monitors, and overall
function. In Config/Autoexec Manager Professional II, there have
been some minor behind the scenes changes or additions. Please
read this documentation carefully to be aware of these changes.
Since the initial release of Config/Autoexec Manager, user response
has been great!! We appreciate your interests and concerns of the
program. This release is to circumvent any problems or errors which
have occurred in Config/Autoexec Manager Professional. See the
WHATS.NEW text file included with this release for enhancement
details. Through user support, the Config/Autoexec Manager series
is fast becoming the standard in configuration management. We do
care about out users and hope to bring only the best effort to them.
Thank you for supporting the Shareware concept!!
Thanks to Magic City USA bulletin board service for establishing a
CAM & CAMPRO conference available to all users who have a question
or comment about Config/Autoexec Manager. All current and new
releases are available online. See Appendix C for technical and
product support information and phone numbers.
Last but not least, a special thanks goes to Ed Rauch for his
assistance and support on this project. His expertise and
experience is appreciated. Thanks, Ed!!
About this manual: As the name implies, this is a user's manual
describing the operation of CAMPRO. It is not intended as a
tutorial on system configuration and setup, in general. For more
general information of system setup and configuration information
or contents, consult your Disk Operating System Manual.
CAMPRO performs optimally when installed on a hard drive. CAMPRO
cannot be installed on Drives A or B as the boot source device.

Config/Autoexec Manager Professional II Introduction
I N T R O D U C T I O N
HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS
Config/Autoexec Manager Professional II requires a minimum of 256K of
available RAM (Random Access Memory) to execute properly. That is,
256K in addition to the operating system and any memory resident
programs as SideKick, SuperKey, etc.. If you are operating with less
than 256k total RAM, CAMPRO might not be able to load. It runs under
MS/PC-DOS on the IBM PC, XT, AT, and PS/2 Models, or any close
compatible and may be used with color, composite, or monochrome
displays under DOS v2.0 and above. Since CAMPRO makes calls to your
editor of choice, the memory requirements may differ somewhat depending
upon the size of your editor. CAMPRO has been successfully executed
under a 510K block size under Desqview 386 using Word Perfect v4.2 as
the editor being called. If you get an error like, Not Enough Memory
to Load Editor, check the size of your editor and the size of your
free memory. Other operating environments may have ways to adjust
memory block size necessary to execute your editor and CAMPRO. See
those respective manuals for details.
Because CAMPRO may have a relatively large number of files open at
once, you must assure that the FILES parameter in your CONFIG.SYS file
is large enough to accommodate them. We suggest using FILES=20 (or
larger). Your DOS manual can give you more information on the
CONFIG.SYS file.
CAMPRO can only be optimally executed when installed on a Hard Disk or
Non-Removable Disk medium.

Config/Autoexec Manager Professional II Installation
I N S T A L L A T I O N
RUNNING THE INSTALLATION PROGRAM
You begin the Installation Procedure by either inserting the CAMPRO
disk into Drive A and typing INSTALL at the DOS prompt after closing
the drive latch, if applicable.
Example: A> INSTALL <Press Enter or Return>
The Installation Menu will appear on the screen and you will be able to
re-define or use the default Drive and Directory. After editing if
necessary, press the Enter or Return key and the Installation Program
will begin to create CAMPRO's directories and relocate the appropriate
files on the the destination drive.
After the Installation Program has finished, you will be placed in the
CAMPRO directory on the destination drive. On the screen at the top
left corner, you should see instructions to proceed to the next step.
Otherwise, type CAMPRO at the DOS prompt to configure the program to
your desired needs.
RUNNING CAMPRO FOR THE FIRST TIME
On the initial execution of the CAMPRO.EXE file, you are prompted to
change any or all of the CAMPRO settings, if desired. You will first
be prompted to verify the boot device. Once you have either accepted
the default or changed to your boot device, then CAMPRO will open
the CAMPRO Setup window. Press the Enter or Return key to proceed to
the next field. When the scroll bar is at the last field, i.e. Boot
Option field, press the Enter or Return key and you will be prompted
to save the changes made. If no changes are made, CAMPRO will simply
continue to the Category Selection Menu.
At the Category Selection Menu, one category has been created for you.
'STANDARD' Category contains one configuration at this time, the root
directory AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files are automatically located
and copied as the first configuration labeled 'STANDARD CONFIGURATION'.
This configuration process is designed to make the installation and
initial configuration simple and quick for you.
You can include the CAMPRO directory into your PATH statement. To
accomplish this type PATH=C:\CAMPRO, or the name of the CAMPRO directory
at the DOS prompt.

currently active configuration, a warning window will pop up onto the
screen giving you four (4) options to choose from. The first option,
1) will copy the currently active files back to the root directory
overwriting the root directory files, 2) will copy the root directory
files back to the currently active configuration files overwriting
them, 3) add configuration to the currently selected category
configuration listing, or 4) continue with Copying Files routine.
NOTE: This function will only copy the selected configuration files to
the root directory. They will not be loaded into memory until the
computer is rebooted. THIS FUNCTION ONLY COPIES THE SELECTED
CONFIGURATION FILES TO THE ROOT DIRECTORY.
C O M M A N D L I N E O P T I O N S
This option is designed to make the configuration management easily
accessible from the DOS prompt, instead of having to go into the CAMPRO
program all of the time. The following descriptions will give you more
of an insight to the command line functions.
'/<category>/<filename>' OPTION - This option will allow you to copy
and reboot the computer by using the selected <category> and one of its
configurations <filename>. That is, the <category> is the category
description and <filename> is the eight (8) letter filename of the
configuration you want to load and execute. The example DOS command
line is as follows:
Example: C> CAMPRO /STANDARD/CONFIG1
Whereby, CAMPRO - call CAMPRO program, '/' this character must appear
to indicate the first token of the command line, STANDARD is the
category description, '/' this character must appear to indicate the
second token of the command line, and CONFIG1 is the configuration
filename of the selected configuration to copy to the root directory
and reboot the computer.

Config/Autoexec Manager Professional II Command Line Options
NOTE: The '/' or backslash character must appear at the beginning of
each token to distinguish them apart from one another. If either the
category or configuration filename do not match one the selected
categories or configuration files, then CAMPRO will notify you of the
error by giving you an 'INVALID PARAMETER' error and will not execute
the desired selection by returning you to the DOS prompt. If the
currently active AUTOEXEC.BAT and/or CONFIG.SYS files do not match the
root directory files, then CAMPRO will notify you of the problem and
not allow the selected files to be copied to the root directory and
reboot the computer. Instead, CAMPRO will prompt you to go directly
into CAMPRO and correct the problem.
'-T<seconds>' OPTION - This command line option is designed to delay
the start up of CAMPRO for a specified number of seconds, where <seconds>
is defined from 1 to 99. If <seconds> are not specified, that is,
CAMPRO -T, is specified at the command line, then CAMPRO will default
to 15 seconds. During this delay phase, you have the option to Abort
by pressing the Space Bar key or loading CAMPRO by pressing the ENTER
key. If no key is pressed, the countdown will continue until the time
has expired and then CAMPRO will abort.

SHAREWARE INFORMATION
WHAT IS SHAREWARE?
Shareware is copyrighted software that is distributed at minimal cost.
Because you can "try before you buy," its easy to find programs to fit
your needs. Shareware authors release programs with an element of
trust, expecting payment if a program is used regularly. You save when
you buy shareware, since expensive marketing costs are eliminated.
Shareware is not a kind of software, but rather an alternative form of
software marketing which is both revolutionary and exciting. The
shareware method of software marketing allows you to receive the latest
top quality software from an authorized disk vendor for a very small
fee or direct from the author. They contain fully functioning programs
and instructions or manuals that you can easily read on-screen or print
out.
Shareware is the future of software marketing. As the public becomes
more aware of the shareware concept, it will be the only way people
wish to buy software. Wouldn't you rather try out a program before
investing in it? Marketing products via shareware also stimulates
better quality, after all, only very good shareware products will be
supported through registrations, since no one would register a poor
quality program. Shareware authors are also generally more receptive
to user's comments and suggestions because a shareware author is user-
supported through direct registrations.
Thank you for taking the time to learn more about shareware.
