- ConfiX help file
- ================
-
- Introduction
- ------------
- ConfiX is a simple universal configuration utility that
- can be used to create and maintain configuration files for
- your programs. Most of our own software supports the ConfiX
- protocol and will call !ConfiX whenever the option Choices...
- is selected from the iconbar menu of the application.
-
- Installation
- ------------
- !ConfiX must have been 'seen' by the filer before the client
- application can launch it. It is therefore best placed inside
- the '!Boot.Resources' directory on your harddisc.
-
- Clients
- -------
- An application that uses !ConfiX' facilities to create
- and edit its configurations files, is called a client.
- The name of the client is always shown in the title of
- the main ConfiX-window and many clients may use !ConfiX
- simultaneously.
-
- Changing !ConfiX' own configuration
- -----------------------------------
- !ConfiX is an application in its own right and is therefore
- a perfect example of ConfiX-client. Open the program-menu
- (middle mouse button over the main ConfiX-window) and
- click 'Options...'. This will open a new ConfiX-window
- containing ConfiX' own settings.
-
- Protocol
- --------
- If you want to include support for !ConfiX in your own
- applications, a minimum of work has to be done. A full
- description for programmers (API) including a number of software
- examples in BBC BASIC is available from our website.
-
- Updates
- -------
- The latest version of !ConfiX is always available from:
