Prefs - a utility for the fun of it!
I wrote this thing in response to the C program 'SetPrefs', which a friend
of mine downloaded from People Link.
Prefs will perform the same function as SetPrefs, but will also allow you
to save your current preferences to a file on disk. Another feature is
that Prefs will allow you to save and load JUST the pointer, which is what
most people want a program like this for, anyway!
Think about it...if you load a whole preferences file that you got off of a
bulletin board, all of a sudden your WB colors have been changed, your
screen may (or may not) have moved, and you might have to go into
preferences anyway to tell the current preferences what printer you have
hooked up!
Oh, well. The syntax for Prefs is:
Prefs <filename> -load a preferences file, just like
SetPrefs.
Prefs -s <filename> -save your current preferences to a
disk file.
Prefs <filename>.p -load a pointer file
Prefs -s <filename>.p -save your pointer to a disk file
Now, the more astute among you may have noticed the difference between
regular preferences files, and pointer files. The difference is that
pointer files end with a '.p' extension. That's all there is to it.
Hope someone can use this...
