- Version 4.0c of CNFGINFO.EXE - (c) 1994-95 by Rick Meigs
-
- This release is an contribute to the positive reactions
- I've got for updating OS2CFGx.DAT (Klaus Staedtler)
- Also THANKS to Marcus Specht (M.Specht@TeamOS2.de)
- for placing CONFIGINFO on http://www.buntspecht.de
-
- OS2CFG15.DAT (Based on OS2CFG11.DAT by Rick Meigs)
- by Klaus Staedtler (stadt@ibm.net) as Rick Meigs seems
- to support this program no more.
-
- (Due to not beeing an native speaker, there could be some
- mispelled words or phrases in the file, please send me your
- corrections).
-
- See also the tips and tricks in the VOICE newsletters,
- they can be found at http://www.os2voice.org/newsletters.html
- and naturally OS2-EZINE to be found at http://www.os2ss.com
- (sorry forgot to mention this the last issue).
-
- For German users there exists also an WARPFAQ.ZIP and an
- PEERFAQ.ZIP (available at http://www.w-4.de/~tbaumann)
- with lots of tips'n tricks.
-
- Naturally the infos in OS2CFG*.DAT can't be complete.
- At the moment there are only rare informations for MMOS,
- JAVA and NETWORK Parameters. As soon as I get the time and the
- informations (please mail all your tips'n tricks to stadt@ibm.net)
- this will be done in the future.
-
- Btw. I mention only FREE Software in the Dat-File, thats not
- because I'm against commercial products, it's more an praise
- to all those developers around the world who made great
- solutions without commercial interests.
-
- INSTALLATION: See README.TXT.
-
- REXX MUST BE INSTALLED ON YOUR SYSTEM FOR THIS PROGRAM TO WORK!
- ALSO VROBJ.DLL (the last version is dated 19.09.95 and should work
- fine, with earlier versions you could get some errors) MUST RESIDE
- EITHER IN YOUR /OS2/DLL path or in the directory where you've
- unzipped Configinfo.
-
- CNFGINFO.EXE is a CONFIG.SYS information utility. When the program
- is launched, it loads your CONFIG.SYS file into window #1 (top
- window) and the latest version of OS2CFGx.DAT (where "x" is the
- version number) into window #2 (bottom window). You must use
- version 8 of OS2CFGx.DAT or later (e.g. OS2CFG9.DAT).
-
- !! As the analize and the resulting tips for your config.sys are
- !! hardcoded in CNFGINFO.EXE all new recommendations in the *.dat
- !! file aren't recognised, so you have to read OS2CFG15.DAT
- !! additionally . (But maybe somebody - hello developers -
- !! wants to write a new version with updated recommendations, or
- !! even better where the base for analizing is an updatable file,
- !! please contact me at stadt@ibm.net as I've some more ideas)
-
- Once CNFGINFO.EXE loads both files, simply click on any
- CONFIG.SYS statement in window #1 and, if available, a full
- description of that item along with tips, notes, warnings and other
- information will be presented in window #2. Naturally not all items
- can be covered, but much is.
-
- This programs also lets you edit, print, backup, and analyze your
- CONFIG.SYS file plus lots more.
-
- Please note that you do not need this program to see the information
- in OS2CFG15.DAT. OS2CFG15.DAT is a fully readable text file full of
- lots of good stuff.
