** RRCONFIG The RaLin Reader Configuration **
RRCONFIG.EXE is the standalone program for configuring the editor used,
and the readers colors. I don't figure everyone will like the default
colors.
The version of RRCONFIG you have received is a DEMO version, named
CFGDEMO.EXE, it is identical to the working copy except that it will NOT
save the changes you make.
The FULLY working copy is what you receive with the registered version of
The RaLin Reader.
But this DEMO copy will let you try out the color changes and see how they
will look in the program. You may also edit the editor name.
At the top half of the screen is shown a representation of the readers
screen(s). The lower half contains the editing fields, along with a command
key box over to the right.
When RRCONFIG starts up it searches for an existing RRSET.CFG file. If
found it will display all values as found in that file. If not found, the
display and editor name will be listed using the built-in defaults, which
are the same as those used in the reader program. This file is looked for
first in the current directory, then in all directories listed in your
path.
You are placed in the first field. The Up and Down arrow keys will move you
from field to field. If you wish to edit the field, press F9. This will
place you in EDIT mode for that field. If you need to see a chart of the
color values you may enter press F1.
NOTE: You must press F1 to view the color chart BEFORE you go into edit
mode. When the clor chart is on screen, pressing any key will put it away.
The color values are shown in their corresponding colors. It is these
numbers you enter for the color you wish.
At any time during configuration, pressing F2 will re-display the reader
representation using the colors as they are currently entered.
A note on the Blinking status color. The color you choose will be
automatically adjusted to create the blinking forground. If you want bright
yellow on red, then enter 78. RRCONFIG will set the yellow to blinking
automatically.
You will not be able to enter a value less than 1 or greater than 127.
When you are editing a color value or the editor name, the editing keys are
the same as in the reader program, but we will list them here again.
Editing keys are -
DeleteKey - Delete character at the cursor.
LeftArrow - Nondestructive move cursor to the left.
RightArrow - Nondestructive move cursor to the right.
End - Move cursor to end of input string.
Home - Move cursor to start of input string.
Backspace - Delete character to the left of cursor.
Ins - Toggles insert mode, cursor changes to block.
Enter/Return - Accepts valuse as entered.
When you are done changing color values and/or the editor name, press the
END key. If any changes have been made you will be asked if you want to
save these changes. Pressing 'Y' =or= ENTER will save the changes to the
configuration file RRSET.CFG This file is saved in the directory you were
in when yoo fired up RRCONFIG.
RRSET.CFG should be placed in a directory that is in your path statement,
so it can be found by the reader on startup. You may have multiple
configuration files. As stated above, its created in the directory RRCONFIG
is called from. So you could have different files in different directories
for different viewing purposes.
RRCONFIG is a simple program, and really self-explanatory. You should have
no problem giving The RaLin Reader your own "special touch".
As features are added to the reader, RRCONFIG will be expanded to
accomodate the configuration of the new features.
