- This archive contains 2 files that contain additions to CMDPOST.CPM and
- CMDUSER.CPM files that were requested by our users. Note: the files are not
- replacements for CMDPOST.CPM and CMDUSER.CPM. They are only new sections that
- you will have to add to your existing files.
-
- The features implemented in these files are:
-
- 1. Automatically load the programs listed on the LOAD= line in WIN.INI when
- Command Post is the primary shell. Command Post ignores the LOAD= line
- when it is the primary shell. This is implemented via an AUTOEXEC
- section for CMDUSER.CPM.
-
- 2. Provide a way for users to define and change the default user interface,
- i.e., Command Post menus or Program Manager icons. Note: this requires
- changes to CMDPOST.CPM and CMDUSER.CPM. A new item is defined in the
- [CMDPOST] section of WIN.INI, namely "UserInterface". Its values and
- meanings are:
-
- UserInterface=Menus <==Command Post menus only (default)
- UserInterface=Icons <==Program Manager icons with iconized Command Post
- UserInterface=Both <==Command Post menus with iconized Program Manager
-
- As implemented, a new item is added to the Command Post Options... entry
- in the Main Command Post menu, namely user interface. Upon selecting
- the new item, you will be able to select the desired default user
- interface. The UserInterface item in WIN.INI will be changed to reflect
- your choice and the current user interface will be immediately changed
- to reflect your choice, with one exception: if the Program Manager is
- currently loaded and you select Command Post menus only, the Program
- Manager will be iconized for the duration of your Windows session.
-
- The addition to CMDUSER.CPM is an AUTOEXEC section that implements your
- selected user interface when Command Post is initially loaded. The
- additions to CMDPOST.CPM implement the user interface selection feature.
-
- 3. Add a new Command Post menu for Help. The menu allows the user to
- select Command Post or Windows help. This addition requires that a new
- menu be defined in CMDUSER.CPM, namely &Help.
-
- The 2 Command Post files in this archive are:
-
- 1. CMDPOST.XXX - additions to CMDPOST.CPM for the user interface
- selection feature describe above in item 2.
-
- 2. CMDUSER.XXX - additions to CMDUSER.CPM for the autoloading, default user
- interface, and Help menu features described above in items 1, 2, and 3.
-
- Hopefully these additions can be as useful to you as they are to our users.
- I look forward to your comments and suggested changes. As always, you're on
- your own with these changes. I have tested them to the best of my ability but
- there are no guarantees. Thus I accept no liability for what these changes
- will do on your PC.
