ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. Introduction ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
ConfigEdit/2
Welcome to ConfigEdit/2. A (not so) simple configuration system for the OS/2
config.sys.
ConfigEdit/2 will allow you to auto-generate config.sys files from a Data Base
of commands. These commands can be either written by hand or imported from an
existing config.sys file. It can also manage OS/2's Recovery Choices, run
Tyra/2 on the generated configuration and even get detailed information on
every config.sys command.
Please read the General Information for important info.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2. General Information ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
General Information
The first thing you need to do is Import (Ctrl-I) your current config.sys and
any other config files that you may be using. Remember to Save (Ctrl-S) the
Data Base.
After you create your Data Base, you can drag-drop whole folders or just parts
of them to the Config View. Once the Config View has the items that you want,
you can Generate (Ctrl-G) your new config.sys file.
You can also use your own editor, but remember that you won't be able to open
multiple items. You can only edit one item at a time.
Also by double-clicking on any config.sys command, you can get detailed
information about it.
Please read the History information for changes from older versions.
I would be very much interested in comments and suggestions for improvement!
Thank you for trying ConfigEdit/2.
