- There are some "hints and tips" files floating around (mainly on America
- Online) - I've seen excerpts of one of them, and some of the tips deal with
- geos.ini. I don't know whether you can make GEOS's GUI look like a Sparc
- though (at least, not at this time, I haven't heard of a specific GUI that
- looks like anything other than Motif or Mac)... There are a lot of neat
- things you can set in geos.ini, though... Here are excerpts from my own.
-
- applianceroom = false <- Intermediate mode is never offered.
- firstlookroom = false <- Beginner mode is never offered.
-
- dosAssociations = {
- *.GIF = C:\UTILITY\VPIC.EXE <- double-click a GIF, it displays.
- *.ZIP = C:\UTILITY\UNZIP.EXE <- double-click a ZIP, it unzips.
- }
-
- confirmDelete = true <- I'm probably going to change some of these
- confirmReadOnly = true <- to FALSE so that it doesn't prompt me
- confirmReplace = true <- before every file when I'm deleting many.
- minimizeOnRun = false <- You can minimize GeoManager when you start
- any other app.
-
- A friend of mine got a big tip file which he might eventually mail me, if he
- does, I'll post it.
