- ENVIMAX.COM : Ver. 2.0, Copyright (1992,93) by Philip B. Gardner
- ================================================================================
-
- ENVIMAX.COM is the "move master environment" function split from earlier
- versions of DOSMAX. Its function is to move the Master Environment of
- COMMAND.COM into upper memory.
-
- ENVIMAX does not support other shells like 4DOS/NDOS which move their own
- environments to upper memory.
-
- Support is provided for:
-
- * moving COMMAND.COM's master environment into upper memory
- * DOS Versions 3.1 - 3.31, DOS 4.x, DOS 5.x, and DOS 6.x
-
- ================================================================================
-
- (Requirements)::
-
- * Requires MS-DOS Version 3.10 or better
-
- ================================================================================
-
- (Installation)::
-
- Install ENVIMAX.COM in your AUTOEXEC.BAT. I recommend that ENVIMAX
- is the first program run in the AUTOEXEC.BAT
-
- ================================================================================
-
- (Syntax)::
-
- The only thing to remember about syntax for the command line is
- that just about anything works. What this means is that you
- should be able to type in the options on the command line the
- way they make sense to you.
-
- To illustrate this point, the following command line example
- is mutated several different ways.
-
- ENVIMAX.COM /E+
- ENVIMAX.COM E+
- ENVIMAX.COM E
- ENVIMAX.COM -E
-
- ENVIMAX 2.0 and above adds optional full word syntax. The new
- syntax looks like this:
-
- ENVIMAX.COM /MASTERENV:+
- ENVIMAX.COM MASTERENV:+
- ENVIMAX.COM MASTERENV
- ENVIMAX.COM -MASTERENV:+
-
- Obviously when using full words, it is easier to keep the words
- separated so that is clear to read. An optional [:] or [=] may be
- used for switches (i.e. REPORT:+ or REPORT=+). These optional
- delimiters are used interchangeably and can also be used with the
- single letter switches. Remember to check your spelling because
- the single letter interface is still intact.
-
- (Switch Options)::
-
- The following list of switch options is organized by:
-
- - Control of ENVIMAX Reports (/R:/P:/N:)
- - Control of ENVIMAX Operation (/E:)
- - Response file for ENVIMAX (@)
-
- (Control of ENVIMAX Reports)::
-
- (REPORT):: R[+ or -] (toggle: default +)
-
- Use /R- or /REPORT:- to disable the report after you are
- satisfied with the configuration of DOSMAX.EXE
-
- (PAUSE):: P[+ or -] (toggle: default +)
-
- Use /P- or /PAUSE:- to disable the pause after the report as
- long as there are no errors or warnings.
-
- (NOPAUSE):: N[+ or -] (toggle: default -)
-
- Use /N+ or /NOPAUSE:+ to never pause after the report, even if
- there are errors. This switch can be used if your configuration
- generates a warning or error message which you choose to ignore.
-
- (Control of ENVIMAX Operation)::
-
- (MASTERENV):: E[+ or -] (toggle: default +)
-
- Use /E- or /MASTERENV:- to disable locating and moving the master
- environment to upper memory. This switch is for diagnostic purposes
- only.
-
- (Response file for ENVIMAX)::
-
- Parameters for ENVIMAX may be read from a response file by using the
- @pathname syntax:
-
- ENVIMAX.COM @RESPONSE.FIL
-
- Response files may be commented by using a ";","#",or "*" character
- before the comment.
-
- There is also a feature implemented for DOS 6.0 config menus. If a
- menu is configured for DOS 6.0, DOS puts the name of the effective
- section in an environment variable. This environment variable is
- "CONFIG=." You may optionally divide the response files into
- sections, identified with the familiar [SECTION] syntax, where
- "SECTION" is the name of the DOS 6.0 menu item selected.
-
- * everything in square brackets "[]" is optional
