- APPENDIX G
- VE_SET UTILITY
-
- This simple little utility program enables you to review the contents of your
- Vocal-Eyes configuration (SET) files without having to load them into
- Vocal-Eyes and wipe out your present speech configuration.
-
- What does VE_SET do? How does it work? Well, the program reads in your
- Vocal-Eyes SET file and writes out a "human readable" file which contains all
- of the Vocal-Eyes internal settings, hot keys and various color attributes.
- Every single setting saved with the .SET file is converted.
-
- To run the program, simply type the following:
-
- VE_SET
-
- This will give you a quick summary on what command line options you need to
- provide to run the program completely. To actually convert a file, use the
- following format:
-
- VE_SET Input file Output file
-
- Input file is the name of the SET file used and maintained by Vocal-Eyes.
- Output file is the text file produced by the VE_SET program. This file can
- be viewed by any standard ASCII type text editor or file viewer such as
- WordPerfect or Noteworthy.
-
- By default, VE_SET will assume an extension of .SET for the input file and
- .TXT for the output file. For example,
-
- VE_SET WP WP
-
- This would translate the file WP.SET into the file WP.TXT. The original .SET
- file will not be modified. Now you can look at the WP.TXT file to discover
- all the settings used with WP.SET.
-
- If VE_SET could not find the input file, you will get the error message:
-
- Error: Cannot open file x
-
- Of course x would be replaced with the actual file name. If the input and
- output file names are the same, you will get the error message:
-
- Error: Output file same as input file - input would be lost!
-
- If you issue the command:
-
- VE_SET lotus lotus
-
- Assuming the conversion was successful, you will get the following message:
