================================================================
Disclaimer
I will not be respnsible for any damages incurred while running
this software. To the best of my knowledge it is completely
safe to run on any Wildcat 3.xx system. It has been tested exten-
sively on my own system.
Enough said.
================================================================
What is Wc-Shell?
================
Wc-Shell is a menu shell for all of Mustang Softwares' utilities,
plus a user defined menu for your own programs! Here's what you get:
--------------------------------------------------------------
| WcUtils UserDefined Editor System Quit |
--------------------------------------------------------------
Wcutils - This menu has most all of Mustangs utilities for taking
care of Wildcat! This is a pre-defined menu.
Wc-shell must be in your Wildcat home directory for
the utils to run.
User Defined - This is where you can run up to 10 of your own
programs that you'll define in the Editor menu.
Batch files will not run in this menu. Use the param-
eter feature. Until registered you'll get only 3 menu
choices on this.
Editor - This menu lets you define what will be listed on the
user defined menu. The options here are:
Add menu items - Add to user defined menu.
Edit menu items - Edit existing menu items.
List menu items - List what is currently on your
menu.
Define Editor - You can specify a text editor here.
Use Editor - This will execute your Editor as defined
above.
System - The system menu has these options:
Shell to Dos - Wc-shell will swap to EMS/disk.
Notepad - I added a little notepad to the menu for
reminders & such. You can write 10 msgs here.
Msgshell.exe is the exe file that runs notepad.
It will not run outside of Wc-shell.
Help Index - This is a mini on-line help index. Not much
to it but it's there if you need help.
Date/Time - This will list current date & time on your
system.
Event - This option is not available in this version. If
things go well with this ver. I'll add it in. It
will run time based events...
How to use Wc-Shell
==================
Place Wc-Shell in your Wildcat Home Directory. It needs to be where
all of these utilities are. I run a 5 node system on a Lan with the
4th & 5th nodes under Desqview. I keep Wc-shell in an open window
so that I have all of these utilities at hand. It's great! To use
under Desqview make sure you give it enough memory to run the app-
lications that are on the menu. I have 4 megs and safely run 2 nodes,
Wc-shell & occasionally toss mail...
This is NOT strictly intended for just Desqview use , But runs great
with any type system you have. Single or Multi-node.
Wc-shell will make use of EMS to swap itself out. If EMS is not found
it will swap to disk. The swap file is deleted upon return to Wc-shell.
If you are are using Wc-shell in a Multi-node system you must start
Wc-Shell from a batch file. This is because of the way Wildcat uses
it's databases. Here's a sample bat that I use:
Set Wcnodeid=6 <=== Set for a dummy node
Set Wcportid=0 <=== Set Wildcat menu option for local mode.
Wc-shell
This must be done to prevent Wildcat Database damage!
-----------
I've tried to make the Wc-shell's interface easy to use & navigate.
Wc-shell was written in Turbo Pascal 6.0 .
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
