This archive contains 2 files that contain additions to CMDPOST.CPM and
CMDUSER.CPM files that were requested by our users. Note: the files are not
replacements for CMDPOST.CPM and CMDUSER.CPM. They are only new sections that
you will have to add to your existing files.
The features implemented in these files are:
1. Automatically load the programs listed on the LOAD= line in WIN.INI when
Command Post is the primary shell. Command Post ignores the LOAD= line
when it is the primary shell. This is implemented via an AUTOEXEC
section for CMDUSER.CPM.
2. Provide a way for users to define and change the default user interface,
i.e., Command Post menus or Program Manager icons. Note: this requires
changes to CMDPOST.CPM and CMDUSER.CPM. A new item is defined in the
[CMDPOST] section of WIN.INI, namely "UserInterface". Its values and
meanings are:
UserInterface=Menus <==Command Post menus only (default)
UserInterface=Icons <==Program Manager icons with iconized Command Post
UserInterface=Both <==Command Post menus with iconized Program Manager
As implemented, a new item is added to the Command Post Options... entry
in the Main Command Post menu, namely user interface. Upon selecting
the new item, you will be able to select the desired default user
interface. The UserInterface item in WIN.INI will be changed to reflect
your choice and the current user interface will be immediately changed
to reflect your choice, with one exception: if the Program Manager is
currently loaded and you select Command Post menus only, the Program
Manager will be iconized for the duration of your Windows session.
The addition to CMDUSER.CPM is an AUTOEXEC section that implements your
selected user interface when Command Post is initially loaded. The
additions to CMDPOST.CPM implement the user interface selection feature.
3. Add a new Command Post menu for Help. The menu allows the user to
select Command Post or Windows help. This addition requires that a new
menu be defined in CMDUSER.CPM, namely &Help.
The 2 Command Post files in this archive are:
1. CMDPOST.XXX - additions to CMDPOST.CPM for the user interface
selection feature describe above in item 2.
2. CMDUSER.XXX - additions to CMDUSER.CPM for the autoloading, default user
interface, and Help menu features described above in items 1, 2, and 3.
Hopefully these additions can be as useful to you as they are to our users.
I look forward to your comments and suggested changes. As always, you're on
your own with these changes. I have tested them to the best of my ability but
there are no guarantees. Thus I accept no liability for what these changes
will do on your PC.
