If the need arises to specify the Video Driver to be used by DeskMate, use the DMVID.EXE utility included on this disk to indicate to DeskMate which specific Video Driver to use. To use DMVID.EXE, type DMVID <driver name>. This will either change the configuration in EEPROM or the DMCSR.CFG file where DMCONFIG path environment is set, as its appropriate.
To override the EEPROM and set the video configuration on a specific disk\directory, a path should be provided in the format of DMVID <driver name> p=<path> and this will cause the video configuration to be updated in file <path>\dmcsr.cfg.
To determine the current driver selected or which Video Drivers are supported, just type DMVID [p=path] without a driver name.
Displays the current Video Driver selected using the configuration in EEPROM if appropriate for the machine, else uses the DMCONFIG environment PATH set to locate the DMCSR.CFG configuration file, and also displays the available video driver names.
DMVID P=a:\deskmate
Displays the current Video Driver selected using the path provided to locate DMCSR.CFG configuration file, and also displays the available video driver names.
DMVID TC16
Selects the 16 color Tandy Mode Video Driver, DMVSTC16.RES.
DMVID A
Selects a future Video Driver, DMVSA.RES.
DMVID AUTO
Selects DeskMate auto-detection of the Video Driver.
DMVID AUTO P=A:\DESKMATE
selects DeskMate auto-detection of the Video Driver and sets it to the configuration file in A:\DESKMATE\DMCSR.CFG.
This usage is an override to update configuration on to disk.
