new features:
- uses SCRCOLOR.CMD for retrieving the actual Screen-Colors
- uses documented API's only (hence safe over different versions of OS/2)
- number of backup generations controllable (from 1-10, was 10 before)
- batch-backup possible by telling it to scan all local drives, all
remote drives, specific drives by supplying a letter-string,
- update and restore can be automated by having SHOWINI.CMD scan
the drives by itself,
- backup/update/restore OS2.INI (**very** important, because it
contains the WPS persistent object-definitions, a key to WPS!) and
OS2SYS.INI or both without specifying the paths,
- logging of all backup/update/restore operations (called SHOWINI.LOG
placed into the same directory as SHOWINI.CMD itself), configurable.
I am using a CRONRGF-entry to automatically backup OS2.INI and OS2SYS.INI
on every monday at 10a.m., backup will be a plain TEXT-file:
0 10 1-31 * 1 showini /bt /both
and to backup all local-INI-files on the first monday of a month, keeping
three backups at most (backups are in OS/2-INI-format):
0 11 1-7 * 1 showini /b3 /local
The package does not contain the interim REXXUTIL.DLL fix. Therefore every-
one has to get the official IBM-fix-release you sent me.
