- General Description
-
- There are many times that a PC user needs to change the
- configuration of his machine. Many programs have different
- requirements that must be met by having different AUTOEXEC.BAT
- and CONFIG.SYS files. For instance most defragmenters require
- that all terminate and stay resident (TSR) programs must be
- removed from RAM. Also some programs require so much RAM that
- TSR's must be removed. Others have requirements for particular
- drivers etc. The need is to save the the different AUTOEXEC.BAT
- and CONFIG.SYS files in a way that they can be safely, reliably
- and easily identified and easily copied to the root directory for
- rebooting.
-
- ACFM, an acronym for Autoexec.bat - Config.sys File Manger, does
- just that by allowing the user to save and edit up to 25 files of
- each type. Each file has its own label of up to 76 characters.
- AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files can be copied to and from the
- root directory. For safety and reliability, the user must boot
-

-
-
-
-
-
- manually, and confirmation prompts are used at critical points in
- the program's execution. ACFM is not ram resident and is
- executed only when needed.
-
- ACFM makes it easy to store several different versions of
- AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files and copy them when needed to
- the root directory of the C Drive if a hard disk is installed.
- If only two floppy drives are available, the A Drive is accessed.
- The next time you reboot they become effective. Since ACFM does
- not execute every time you boot, you are not bothered by being
- forced to make a choice every time, but only when you need to
- change configuration.
-
- ACFM also includes the ability to add, delete, edit and view
- stored files as well as to copy files to and from the root
- directory. It also permits shelling out to DOS to accomplish
- more general tasks.
-
-
- Registration fee is $10.
-
- System Requirements:
- IBM PC, XT, AT or beyond compatible with at least 256K of RAM.
- Hard disk or 2 floppy disks
- DOS 2.0 or greater.
- Color or monochrome on almost any video adapter card.

- Thank you for your support!
