4DC 0.81 beta by MATTIAS AXNER, SWEDEN. Released: 20-Jul-96
=============
This program is freeware.
This is a beta-version of my 4DOS.INI configuration program.
It lets you edit most settings in the 4DOS.INI file.
I think it is simple to use, but a short explaination about how it
works.
If you start 4DC without any option it will look in c:\4dos\ for
the 4dos.ini file. If you want to edit a another file just
start 4DC with '4dc <path>\<name>'.
When you save the file (Alt-S) it creates a backup file of your
old ini file with name 'c:\4dosini.bak'. If there already is a
'c:\4dosini.bak' it will be overwritten.
You quit the program with Alt-X, you will not get a question
to save your file.
If you want to reset all, press Alt-Z, no question. It will not
clean any colordir or keymapping.
F9 swaps between secondary and primary shell.
F10 redraws the screen.
There is no error-detection in loading the ini-file, is there is
something unexpected, there may be some problem. But I think
it is pretty safe anyway.
4DC does not check for any illegal or unlogical setting, or any
duplicate colordir-extensions.
There may be some setting that you cant use in [Secondary] shell
but 4DC does not check that.
Will fix that soon.
I have not included the undocumented troubleshooting directives
in 4DC, cant see any reason.
[Main Editor]
You use the arrowkeys to move the cursor up and down and to change
group. To left you see the of the INI-directive, then you see the
value.
When a setting is grey, it is set default and will not be saved
in 4dos.ini. When it is colored it is not default and will
be saved. With [Esc] you can reset a value to default.
[Color Dir Editor]
Press F6 if you want to go to ColorDir-editor, and F6 again
if you want back to main.
Move cursor with arrowkey and press enter if you want to edit
Colordir. When the arrow is red you can type anything.
If you want to set color for DIRS, RDONLY, ARCHIVE, SYSTEM or
HIDDEN just press Alt-D, Alt-R, Alt-A, Alt-S or Alt-H.
Press F1 to change color.
Press F10 to see how the Colordir line will look like.
PRess F9 to swap between Primary and Secondary Shell.
Limitation: 13 extensions * 35 groups.
Extended Wildcard is not supported yet.
[Key mapping Editor]
Press F5 if you want to go to the Key Mapping Editor and F5 again
if you want back to main.
Press F1 to get help-screen.
If upper windows you can choose which directive you want to define.
In lower windows you see which directives is chosed, here you can
also delete a chosed directive with the Del key.
Swap between windows with the TAB key.
Press F9 to swap between primary and secondary shell.
Limitation: Max 120 key definitions. Problem? Mail me!
In next version I will include help for every directive.
I will also make the loading of the ini-file better.
Changes since 0.8:
- Bug fixes.
