WHY NOT AN AUTOMATIC CONVERSION TOOL ???
BECAUSE I'M TO LAZY TO WRITE ONE !!!
Here are the steps to convert the old preferences file format into the
new preferences file format:
1.) Rename "BEGIN TASK/WINDOW" to "BEGIN TASK/WINDOW/DEFAULT"
2.) Rename "REVISION = 0" to "REVISION = 1"
3.) Move all global variables like SECONDS, MICROS, AUTOSCALE, SHIFT,
COLOR, EXCEED_COLOR, ... into the first declaration part between
"BEGIN TASK/WINDOW/DEFAULT" and END
Don't move "TITLE" and "ZOOMTITLE".
4.) "BEGIN VARIABLES" stay unchanged
"BEGIN STRINGS" and "BEGIN GRAPHIC" are now mixed in one declaration
block:
5.) Rename "BEGIN STRINGS" to "BEGIN VARIABLES"
6.) Copy all graphical definitions like "GRAPHIC = ..." into the new
declaration block ("BEGIN VARIABLES").
7.) If you have defined a seperate height, color, or autoscale option
for a particular graphic add these values after the variable
seperated by a comma.
Example:
Old graphic definition:
GRAPHIC = Pagefaults_per_update
GRAPHIC_HEIGHT = 30
GRAPHIC_COLOR = 2
GRAPHIC_AUTOSCALE = FALSE
NEW graphic definition:
GRAPHIC = Pagefaults_per_update, 30, 2, FALSE
You can use the default height, color or autoscale option by simply
leaving out the values.
Example:
GRAPHIC = Pagefaults_per_update,,, FALSE
This uses the default grapical height and the default pen no. for
this graphic, but changes the autoscale option to FALSE.
Don't forget the commas between the options!
In version 1.1 there are two new options, see the guide file (History,
Preferences file - syntax) for more details on that.
8.) Delete the "BEGIN GRAPHIC" declaration
9.) Start VMMInformer V1.1
If you have problems or questions about that feel free to mail them to
me (email and snail address in the guide file).
Good luck and have fun,
Torsten.
