- MFW.EXE Version 2.0
-
- 1.1 General Description
-
- MFW can be started from the DOS command line or as a "run" command from
- within Windows. From the DOS prompt, enter WIN MFW. From the Windows FILE
- RUN dialog, enter MFW. Using either of the two command line methods,
- additional command parameters can be passed to the program for customizing
- its startup.
-
- Valid command line parameters will take precedence over the customization
- parameters saved in the MFW.INI file. Invalid command line parameters will
- be ignored as if missing altogether. The MFW.INI file provides default
- startup values for each missing command parameter except the optional file
- name. The MFW.INI file is updated at user discretion from menu options
- selected while running MFW.
-
- 1.2 Syntax
-
- Command line parameters are delimited by at least one blank space separating
- each parameter from adjacent parameters, or the program command MFW (e.g.
- MFW p1 p2 p3)
-
- Each command parameter may optionally be preceded by additional spaces,
- forward slash characters "/", or by dash characters "-". Command parameters
- may be entered in any order.
-
- Except for a file name parameter, each command parameter begins with a unique
- lower-case alphabetic character. The optional file name command parameter
- will, if valid, result in MFW opening, displaying the file's video, then
- terminating with automatic program exit. Otherwise, MFW will open and
- wait for mouse/keyboard input.
-
- The unique command parameters are defined as follows:
-
- xn Where 'n' is an integer X-coordinate for the upper left corner of the MPEG
- video window. This parameter is used only when a file name parameter is
- also used, and is otherwise ignored.
-
- yn Where 'n' is an integer Y-coordinate for the upper left corner of the MPEG
- video window. This parameter is used only when a file name parameter is
- also used, and is otherwise ignored.
-
- sn Where 'n' is an integer Size value (320 or 160) designating the pixel width
- for display of the MPEG video
-
- fn, fm, fw
- Designating respectively Frame Narrow, Frame Medium, and Frame Wide. This
- command will define the width of the solid color frame which immediately
- surrounds the MPEG video to provide visual isolation from the underlying
- window.
-
- cw, cb, cg, cd, cl
- Designating frame color as follows:
- cw - white
- cb - black
- cg - gray
- cd - dark gray
- cl - light gray
-
- Example command: WIN MFW jets.mpg x100 y100 s160 fw cd
