- ; 4EDIT Configuration File
- ;
- ;This file allows the user to set different values for several of the
- ;4EDIT parameters, including:
- ; Maximum Description Length
- ; Whether 4EDIT should hide Descript.ion files
- ; Color Selection
- ; File types to be colored specially
- ; Sort type
- ; Time of Day display format
- ;
- ;Any text following a semicolon will be ignored by 4EDIT, so you can
- ;easily document your configuration with comments. The configuration
- ;file consists of entries with the form
- ;
- ; KEYWORD=value
- ;
- ;This sample file is set up with an entry for each keyword that sets
- ;4EDIT to the default value. If you want to change any of these
- ;defaults, simply remove the semicolon from the beginning of the
- ;corresponding entry line and change the value to the one you prefer.
-
- ;--------------------------------------------------------------------
- ;Maximum Description Length
- ;4EDIT will permit you to edit long descriptions, up to a maximum of
- ;200 characters. This is consistent with 4DOS Version 5.0
- ;You may wish to restrict descriptions to shorter values. For
- ;example, to be fully compatible with the 4DOS Version 4.0
- ;DESCRIBE function, Descriptions cannot be longer than 120 characters.
- ;(But 4DOS users shouldn't feel you have to restrict description length.
- ;4DOS will handle them perfectly. You just won't be able to edit
- ;them with DESCRIBE.)
-
- ;Descriptionmax=200;
-
- ;--------------------------------------------------------------------
- ;Hiding DESCRIPT.ION files. 4DOS keeps file description information
- ;in a file named DESCRIPT.ION in each subdirectory. Originally, 4DOS
- ;always hid these files so that they would not normally be seen in a
- ;directory display. Newer versions of 4DOS leave the file either hidden
- ;or not hidden - the same as it finds it. 4EDIT will do the same.
- ;But what should happen if 4EDIT has to create a DESCRIPT.ION file
- ;(because it is creating the first description in a subdirectory.)?
- ;You can decide for yourself; the default is to create the file as
- ;HIDDEN. To change this just remove the semicolon from the following
- ;line and set the value to FALSE.
-
- ;HIDENEWDESCR=TRUE
- ;--------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- ;The next three items allow three groups of file types to be displayed in
- ;distinctive colors in the 4EDIT directory display. The examples show
- ;typical uses.
-
- 1FileGroup=*.exe *.com *.bat *.btm
- 2FileGroup=*.pas *.inc
- 3FileGroup=*.bak *.tmp *.jnk
-
- ;You can select the colors for most things yourself. The syntax is
- ;
- ; Name= [BRIGHT] foreground [ON background]
- ;
- ;If ON background is omitted, the background associated with TextColor
- ;will be used. BRIGHT may be abbreviated as BRI
- ;
- ;Colors available are:
- ;Black, Blue, Green, Cyan, Red, Magenta, Brown, White
- ;Following are the complete set of attributes that can be colored
- ;independently and their default colors
- ;
- ;Text=white on blue ;normal file entries, unselected
- ;Select=blue on white ;normal file entries, selected
- ;Viewer=black on green ;Text displayed in the file viewer
- ;BLOCK=green on black ;block of ines selected in viewer for pasting
- ;1Color=bright red ;Files in 1FileGroup, unselected
- ;1Select=blue on white ;Files in 1FileGroup, Selected
- ;2Color= bright green ;Files in 2FileGroup, unselected
- ;2Select=blue on white ;Files in 2FileGroup, Selected
- ;3Color=bright brown ;Files in 3FileGroup, unselected
- ;3Select=blue on white ;Files in 3FileGroup, Selected
- ;TooLong=Brown on white ;Char Count display when Description Too Long
- ;--------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- ;4EDIT always displays files sorted so that the directories come first.
- ;After that, the files can ve displayed by NAME, EXTENSION, SIZE, DATE,
- ;or DESCRIPTION. The default is sort by NAME
- ;You can change the default with the following syntax
- ; SORT=sort type
- ;SORT=Name
- ;
- ;The default sort type can also be changed on the command line.
- ;The Syntax is 4EDIT /SX, where X takes the values N,E,S,D or I
- ;corresponding to sort by Name, Extension, Size, Date or Description.
- ;--------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- ;The display format for the file creation time is normally determined
- ;automatically by the DOS country code. Two formats are provided:
- ; 12 hour format: 11:20 11:20p
- ; 24 hour format: 11:20 23:20
- ;You can optionally set the default time format in the 4EDIT.CFG
- ;file with the following syntax
- ; TIME=12 or TIME=24
- ;The default time format can also be changed on the command line.
- ;The syntax is 4EDIT /12 or 4EDIT /24
