- Getting Started
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- This section is for new CFG users who are anxious to get CFG up and running.
- Please refer to CFG.DOC for additional information.
-
- A quick listing of CFG commands may be obtained by executing "CFG /?". You
- will see a listing of command formats and switches, followed by a listing of
- the commands, their syntax and a short description in a scrollable window.
- The letters at the right side of the display indicate whether the command is
- available from CONFIG.SYS and/or Batch files.
-
- Once you know what command you want, you can execute "CFG Help CommandName"
- to get the corresponding section of CFG.DOC displayed in a scrollable window.
-
- CFG is Shareware. See the CFG.REG file for details on registration. The
- "What You Get" section of the CFG.DOC file lists the benefits if
- registering your use of CFG.
-
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Minimum Installation Requirements
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- The information provided here is based on a few assumptions. The first is
- that you know how to run programs. Another is that you are running programs
- from the DOS prompt.
-
- All CFG files must be located in the same directory. You have two options.
- The first is that all CFG files are placed in a directory that is listed in
- your DOS PATH. The second is that all CFG files are located together, but
- you specify the complete path to the CFG executable file each time you run
- the program.
-
- CFG must have its files located together in order to find the HLP and DOC
- files when you request one of the help functions. If you have limited disk
- space, you may delete this and the other unneeded files after reading and
- registering the program.

- Summary of Changes
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- The following is a summary of changes since the last major version. This
- information is also located at the end of CFG.DOC. See that file for more
- details.
-
-
- Version 2.41 --- 28 December 1994
-
- * Slightly revised documentation.
-
- * CPU: Corrected display of Pentium processor stepping level,
- model and family. Also see the new P5 command.
-
- * Added the P5 command based on several requests.
-
-
- Version 2.42 -- 15 May 1995
-
- * Check out the new Batch command. It does some *really neat* stuff to
- make installation batch files earier to write!
- * The WinWord version of this documentation for registered users has
- received significant upgrades. The behind-the-scenes macros are much
- improved and powerful.
- * CFG now generates an error and terminates if it is run in an Upper
- Memory Block.
- * Note 4: Corrected a parsing error in some commands when numbers were
- separated only by commas.
- * Corrected a display problem where /E switch information would not be
- shown for some commands.
-
- * ColdBoot: Added code to shut down EMM386 prior to system restart.
- * Country: Improved error handling of invalid parameters.
- * ErrorLevel: Now accepts numbers in different bases.
- * GetKey: Note 4 for D[:]t,p parameter.
- * Typematic: Added Default and Slow SubCommands. A command line
- parameter is now required. Illegal parameters are now reset to the
- maximum or minimum value allowed. An ErrorLevel of 255 indicates that
- this was done. The typematic settings are adjusted to these reset
- values vice being ignored. Note 4 for r,d parameters.
- * WarmBoot: See ColdBoot.
-
- * Added the Batch command.
-
- Version 2.43 -- 15 July 1995 [Return]
-
- * Enhanced the WinWord macros supporting this file.
- * The /Bnnumber base switch now accepts all values from 2 through 16, vice
- just 2, 8, 10 or 16.
- * Corrected minor display problem when testing for an ANSI driver when none
- is installed.
-
- * Env: Corrected Set subcommand to use mixed case vice capitalized EnVar
- value.
- * FileDTC: Changed ErrorLevel reporting to match the previous text
- description. The command now checks for all possible combinations of time
- and date.
- * Keyboard: Added the Disable, Enable and Status subcommands. The previous
- command functionality is in the Status subcommand. The Disable and Enable
- commands turn off all keyboard input, including the Ctrl-Alt-Delete reset.
- * P5: Added the FDIV subcommand to positively identify Pentium processors
- with the FDIV bug.
- * Now: Added "!" as a alternative for "%". Multiple percent signs may be
- misinterpreted by the DOS batch processor as referring to an environment
- variable name. Individual %1, %2, etc. are taken for replacable command
- line parameters.
- * PrtScr: Corrected disabled Print subcommand.
