DATACHNG
The purpose of the DATACHNG utility is to give the sysop the
ability to non-destructively several CTDLCNFG.SYS parameters. The
relevant parameters are:
#MAXROOMS
#MSG-SLOTS
#MAIL-SLOTS
#LOGSIZE
#SHARED-ROOMS
#NET-ARCH-ROOMS
ALWAYS MAKE BACKUPS BEFORE USING THIS UTILITY!
DATACHNG is a very crude and simple menu-driven program which exits
when an illegal selection is made from the menu. On valid selections,
DATACHNG will ask for a new value, and then ATTEMPT to modify your
installation for the new value. NOTE: As of this writing, the system
attempts all changes IN MEMORY. If there is not enough RAM, then this
utility fails. This should only happen for very large installations
("large", in this case, does not refer to the message base; see
EXPAND for details on expanding your message base). If this happens
to you, then you should either attempt to hack the source for this
utility so that it uses temporary files (a tedious but simple procedure),
or entice someone into doing it for you (ibid).
With the exception of the LOGSIZE parameter, all of the parameters may
either be shrunk or expanded. LOGSIZE can only (currently) be expanded.
See the CVRTLOG utility for a method of shrinking your LOGSIZE.
Make sure to update your CTDLCNFG.SYS after using DATACHNG! However,
you do NOT need to use CONFG after using DATACHNG.
