ConfigMaster - ver. 0.50 (Beta I)
---------------------------------
Thank you for trying out the preview version of
ConfigMaster. Please make sure to read the entire contents of
this file before attempting to run the program itself.
Disclaimer
----------
The author assumes no responsibility and will not be held
accountable for any damages arising from the use of this
product. ConfigMaster is provided "as is" without warranty of
any kind either expressed or implied. Use it at your own risk.
What Is It?
-----------
ConfigMaster is a simple CONFIG.SYS editor, written
entirely in REXX. It will run under OS/2 2.0 or higher,
including Warp 3.0. Its easy to use point-and-click GUI is
meant to minimize the amount of typing/scrolling normally
involved in modifying system configuration files.
Additionally, the built-in "shortcut" menus provide convenient
access to most commonly changed settings. This first beta
release is still lacking many important features, particularly
good on-line help. Context-sensitive help system is currently
under construction and will be made available in the next
successive version of ConfigMaster.
Plea for Assistance
-------------------
Your feedback is crucial to further development of this
product. Any suggestions on how to make it better (i.e. more
powerful and easier to use) will be greatly appreciated!
Short User Guide
----------------
Most menus and toolbar buttons are pretty much
self-explanatory. Short tips are displayed on the information
line every time the mouse cursor is placed on the top of one of
the main window's objects. Commands like cut, paste, copy,
file open, etc. behave just like in any other application and
as such should be fairly intuitive. Virtually all operations
are performed on a per-line basis. Some commonly used tasks
are briefly summarized below:
1. Selecting text for editing
Clicking on any of the lines in the main scroll box will
copy it's contents to the edit box below. Many operations are
valid for more than one line. To select multiple lines, hold
the Ctrl key down while performing the selections. Adjacent
lines may be selected by dragging the mouse vertically in
either direction with the left button depressed.
2. Modifying current line
The text displayed in the the edit box may be modified as
needed. To save the changes, click on the OK button (first one
from the left)
3. Moving to a specific line number
This may be achieved in two ways:
a) by clicking on either of the spin button arrows until
desired number appears in the adjacent box.
b) by typing the appropriate number directly in the box
(followed by Enter)
4. Removing nonexistent directories from the path lines.
Invalid entries (i.e. old, long deleted directories) in
the lines beginning with LIBPATH=, SET PATH= and SET DPATH= may
be automatically removed by the program by selecting
Special-Purge from the Edit menu.
So much in a nutshell. Should you have any questions or
