11. Configuration Description
A configuration is outlined in the following format:
NAME (26 chars)
DESCRIPTION (74 chars)
AUTOEXEC.BAT DATA
CONFIG.SYS DATA
A configuration is a record that contains one
AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS combination. Switch holds up to
100 records in its database. (If more records are needed
please inform Mux Consulting with the number of records
required.) A distinguishing name is entered to identify the
configuration. A description is also entered as a reminder of
the configuration contents.
Let us look at the following two configurations. One is
a normal DOS configuration and the other is the same
configuration except on rare occasions when a RAM disk is
necessary.
CONFIGURATION # 1
NAME: Normal Boot-Up
DESCRIPTION: This is the normal configuration
AUTOEXEC.BAT CONFIG.SYS
@echo off files=32
verify on buffers=32
path=c:\;c:\dos; lastdrive=h
prompt=$p $g device=c:\mouse\mouse.sys
CONFIGURATION # 2
NAME: RAM Driver
DESCRIPTION: This configuration contains a RAM driver.
AUTOEXEC.BAT CONFIG.SYS
@echo off files=32
verify on buffers=32
path=c:\;c:\dos; lastdrive=h
prompt=$p $g device=c:\mouse\mouse.sys
device=c:\dos\vdisk.sys 200 256
Once these configurations are created you can switch to
the configuration needed. Switch replaces the current
AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files with the configuration
selected and then reboots the machine if desired. This means
when changes are made to AUTOEXEC.BAT or CONFIG.SYS files
outside of Switch, you will have to remember to make them
inside of Switch as well by typing in the data manually or
importing your changes. It is a good idea though, to make all
the changes inside Switch and then reboot from there.
Otherwise you will run the risk of wiping out any changes made
outside of Switch.
