CONFIGWS.DOC
02/07/93
The CONFIGWS program is used to permanently switch the defaults for certain
Wayne Software programs. Other programs would let you do this by setting an
environmental parameter but that frequently resulted in running out of
environmental space so that was out. Programs like LIST come with a clone
function that let you change the program while you're in the program but the
Wayne Software stuff is written in QuickBASIC, and memory became too tight to do
that. So along comes a single program that lets you change the defaults for
several programs.
Currently, CONFIGWS will let you set the following defaults in the following
routines:
Routine Settable defaults Values
ADD Reverse match criteria /V or /-V
Show counts only /C or /-C
Case insensitive /I or /-I
BFIND Reverse match criteria /V or /-V
Show counts only /C or /-C
Number lines /N or /-N
Case insensitive /I or /-I
Pause output /P or /-P
Include headings /HEADER or /-HEADER
CHANGE Reverse match criteria /V or /-V
Case insensitive /I or /-I
CONVERT Output format /TO FIXED, /TO ASCII,
/TO WKS, or /TO DBF
Action update bad data /SKIP, /MISSING, or /ABORT
Beep when done /BEEP or /-BEEP
Overwrite output file /OVERWRITE, /-OVERWRITE, or
/OVERASK
DEMOMAKE Overwrite output file /OVERWRITE, /-OVERWRITE, or
/OVERASK
DIRTOTAL Pick sort program /SORT=SORTF, /SORT=QSORT,
/SORT=DOS, /SORT=INTERNAL,
/SORT=PCSORT
Use MS-DOS 5.0 sorting /DOS or /-DOS
Beep when done /BEEP or /-BEEP
Include sub w/child tots /SUB or /-SUB
FILL Output destination A: or B:
Beep when done /BEEP or /-BEEP
Confirm each file /PROMPT or /-PROMPT
Wipe out existing files /WIPE or /-WIPE
If output file exists /OVERASK, /OVERWRITE, /-OVERWRITE,
/OVERSKIP
Copy order /ON, /O-N, /OS, /O-S, /OD, /O-D
Move or copy /MOVE or /COPY
Multi- or single disk /MULTI or /SINGLE
READ Monochrome or color /MONO or /-MONO
Printer definition /PLPT1:, /PLPT2:, /PCOM1:,
/PCOM2:, or /PREAD.DMP
TAKE1ST Reverse match criteria /V or /-V
Case insensitive /I or /-I
Write out unique or dups /UNIQUE or /DUPS
If you have other Wayne Software programs and you want CONFIGWS to handle them
too, contact Wayne Software (address below) and let us know.
Running the program:
CONFIGWS [ routine ] [ /MONO | /-MONO | /COLOR | /-COLOR ] [ /? ]
where:
"routine" is the name of the routine to change. ".EXE" is presumed. You can
fully specify the location and name of the program if you want but CONFIGWS will
search for it if you don't. If CONFIGWS is in the same subdirectory as the
other program, it won't have any trouble finding it. If you don't specify
anything, you'll get a current list of all CONFIGWS-able programs that are in
your default directory.
"/MONO" or "/-COLOR" sets the screens to monochrome.
"/-MONO" or "/COLOR" sets the screens to color and is typically the default.
"/?" or "/HELP" or "HELP" gives you syntactical help with the command.
