- Version 1.3
-
- There are several changes in this version. If you have added
- several extra configurations that you no longer need, the <CtrlF3>
- key will delete the current configuration (you can't delete record
- one, nor can you go below five records).
-
- You can change the keystrokes used by the built in editor. Hitting
- the <F6> key in the main menu will pop up a key editor which will
- allow changing the actions of all of the control keys used in the
- editor.
-
- You can change the colors used by AUTOCON. Hitting the <Alt> key in
- combination with the function keys will allow customization of most
- of the colors. The use of each key is detailed in the pop-up help.
-
- The DAT file format for 1.3 is quite different than the one for 1.2.
- The white space has been eliminated, and as a consequence it is
- significantly smaller (mine are about 1/4 the previous size). The
- first time you run 1.3 it will change the format, and the DAT file
- will no longer be compatible with 1.2. You may want to make a copy
- of AUTOCON.DAT (just to be on the safe side) before running 1.3.
-
-
- Version 1.2d keeps current file attributes
-
- A request was made to update the Autoexec and Config files, but to
- not change their current attributes (system, read only, hidden,
- etc.). Therefore AUTOCON now reads the current file attributes of
- Autoexec.Bat and Config.Sys before updating them, and restores the
- attributes after the update.
-
-
- Version 1.2c adds a boot type select.
-
- Some computers have trouble with the warm boot that AUTOCON was
- originally configured with. These seem to mainly be machines with
- large hard disks, and a large hard disk manager. The <F5> key now
- allows you to change the boot type from warm to cold to get around
- this problem.
-
-
- Version 1.2a is a bug fix.
-
- AUTOCON didn't recognize more than three configurations from the
- command line.
-
-
- Version 1.2 is a bug fix.
-
- When you attempted to read in your old configuration files to the
- AUTOEXEC and CONFIG fields, it always defaulted to C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT
- an C:\CONFIG.SYS no matter what files you had selected. The read
- file option now works correctly.
-
-
- Version 1.1 charges are as follows.
-
- 1. AUTOCON now does a Reboot when a reconfiguration is done from the
- command line.
-
- 2. AUTOCON now handles up to 50 configurations (originally only 5).
-
- 3. You can now read any file into an AUTOEXEC or CONFIG edit field
- (allows you to use your old configurations).
-
- 4. The On-line Help has been updated/enhanced.
-
- 5. The Doc file has been enhanced (left out a few things the first
- time).
-
- 6. Allows you the choice of a Reboot when reconfiguring in the data
- entry mode.
-
- 7. Hopefully a better choice of colors on an LCD screen. If you have
- an LCD, you need to have your mode set to BW80 (2).
