SYSCFG! (SYStem ConFiGuration) database program for maintaining multiple
AUTOEXEC.BAT & CONFIG.SYS files!
by MASTERWARE - (C)1990 John G. Kacmarcik, Jr.
Thank you for using SYSCFG. SYSCFG is very easy to use and does not
require extensive documentation.
When running SYSCFG, always change to the directory where SYSCFG.EXE is
located. SYSCFG will create database files if they don't exist. For calling
SYSCFG from anywhere, you can add this batch file to your batch file directory
or any directory that is in you path:
@Echo Off
C:
cd \syscfg
syscfg %1 %2 %3 %4
In the above example batch file you would, of course, change the drive and
directory to match where you installed SYSCFG.
Menu choices are:
1. ADD : Add a configuration to the database either manually, importing
current configuration, or copying another database record.
2. BROWSE : Browse through each record in the database. To view the part
of the text below the window size without going into the edit mode,
hit [PgUp] to view top file (AUTOEXEC) or [PgDn] to view bottom
file (CONFIG).
3. CONFIG : Show configuration Names & record Numbers is a menu for
write/reboot options.
4. DELETE : This choice will ask you for conformation that you wish to delete
ALL records in the database.
5. EXTERNAL OPTIONS (Setup):
: You will be asked what drive you boot from and also have options
for disk caching, external reboot, and external editor. If you
use an external editor, you must enter the FULL PATH to it and it
must be capable of accepting TWO filename parameters at the
command line: e.g. C:\ME\ME AUTOEXEC.#1 CONFIG.#1
You can also edit the last configuration name that SYSCFG saved
in case you might have done some manual config file swapping.
6. FIND : Search for a text string or go directly to a specific record number.
7. LIST : List the record NAME and NOTE field. (If you have many records,
be ready to hit [Pause] or [Ctrl]-[S] to pause display!)
8. SORT : Sort database records by NAME or by NOTES.
(CAUTION: Sorting will renumber the database! In case you're using
the command line option "SYSCFG #1" which automatically writes
the AUTOEXEC and CONFIG in the record number following the '#'.)
9. VIEW : View current AUTOEXEC.BAT, CONFIG.SYS, & ENVIRONMENT.
Q. : Quits the program.
The registered version has online editor command help by pressing [F1] Type
SYSCFG /? or /HELP to display command line options.
These options are:
*SYSCFG ![name_string] will automatically reconfigure the computer to the
AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files found in the record
NAME that matches the configuration name immediately
following the '!' if found. (Don't type the '[' or ']')
(Up to the 1st three words in the name can be searched)
*SYSCFG #[record#] will automatically reconfigure the computer to the
AUTOEXEC.BAT & CONFIG.SYS files found in the record
number that matches the number immediately following the '#'
if it exists. ( e.g. SYSCFG #1 )
*NOTE: One the above two command line options, adding a /BOOT switch will
reboot the computer.
SYSCFG /L will List configuration NAMES and NOTES.
SYSCFG /N will list configuration record NUMBERS and NAMES.
SYSCFG /=[text_string] will search the database for the text string
immediately following the /= (up to three words)
SYSCFG /DUMP will dump records to text files (AUTOEXEC.#1,CONFIG.#1,etc.)
(You can edit them with your favorite editor & import them
back in! The syntax is the same for importing records.)
SYSCFG /SETUP will let you setup SYSCFG for a different boot drive, cache
flushing and/or external reboot options!
SYSCFG /REGISTER will let you register SYSCFG if you have received a
registration number from the author. This will remove
ALL the shareware screens. AFTER you register the program,
you can run an EXE file compression program on SYSCFG like
PKLITE or LZEXE. The registration procedure will NOT work
if SYSCFG.EXE is compressed. It can be compressed after
registration. (See ORDERFRM.DOC)
SYSCFG -LT will make the title screen more readable on Laptops.
SYSCFG /Huh will show you the name of the last configuration SYSCFG wrote.
SYSCFG /MENU or /M will list configs in a menu for write/reboot options.
