- STRIPMANAGER
-
- STRIPMGR scans CONFIG.SYS, AUTOEXEC.BAT, and any batch files called by
- AUTOEXEC, and optionally removes 386 memory managers and their related
- programs. STRIPMGR returns the number of memory managers & programs
- found or removed (depending on the /S switch), or 255 on an error.
-
- The syntax is
-
- stripmgr [d:] [/H/S/T] [~386max.sys] [striplist]
-
- The switches are
-
- /H Display the help screen.
-
- /S Strip the memory managers. STRIPMGR will prompt the
- user before removing each program, unless the /T(erse)
- switch is specified (see below). If the /S switch
- is not specified, STRIPMGR will display the files found
- but take no action.
-
- /T Terse mode - turn off the display of STRIPMGR's
- processing, and if /S is specified, remove the programs
- without prompting the user.
-
- The optional arguments are
-
- d: Startup drive (where CONFIG.SYS & AUTOEXEC.BAT
- are located).
-
- ~386max.sys Don't remove references to 386MAX or any of its
- associated programs. (Note that the name could
- be changed, i.e. ~QEMM.SYS to not remove any
- references to QEMM.)
-
- striplist The name of the strip list file. If not
- specified, it defaults to STRIPMGR.LST in the same
- directory as STRIPMGR.
-
- The format of the strip list is
-
- : QEMM 386 from Quarterdeck
- qemm.sys
- ~loadhi
- !noega
-
- : 386MAX from Qualitas
- 386max.sys
- ~386load *prog=
-
-
- Lines beginning with a : or ; are comments and are ignored, as are blank
- lines. A program name in the left column is the memory manager name; it
- is followed by the names of its associated programs with leading tabs.
- If STRIPMGR matches the memory manager name with a name in CONFIG.SYS,
- it saves the associated programs to a "delete list" and scans CONFIG.SYS
- and AUTOEXEC (and related batch files) for a match. Otherwise, the
- associated programs are ignored.
-
-
- The associated programs have required leading characters:
-
- ! Remove the entire line where this program name occurs
- ~ Remove the program name and any switches (/ or -) which
- follow, but keep the remainder of the line.
-
- If the associated program has a ~, it can also take optional arguments.
-
- ~386load GETSIZE RAM NOVID
-
- will remove any matching arguments (GETSIZE, RAM, NOVID) from the line.
- If the argument is preceded by an asterisk (*), it is assumed to be the
- last valid argument on the line, and everything is removed up to and
- including that argument:
-
- ~386load *prog=
-
