- DMCSTRT
-
- The DMCSTRT program is used to restore a saved configuration from native DOS
- ,is used as an alternative to WMCSTRT, and MUST be used if PC Tools for
- Windows is the Window's shell. If you plan on using DMCSTRT, then you should
- remove WMCSTRT from the Windows Start-up group.
-
- If there are active configuration entries when DMCSTRT runs, DMCSTRT will
- display a configuration selection window. If there are no active
- configuration entries when DMCSTRT runs, DMCSTRT will end without displaying
- a configuration selection window.
-
- DMCSTRT will accept two command line switches: "/a" and "/r". Switch "/a"
- specifies which configuration entry to use, where 'a' specifies a saved
- configuration entry. Saved configuration entries are numbered 0 to 3 from
- Top Left to Bottom Left and are numbered 4 to 7 from Top Right to Bottom
- Right. This is useful if you have MS-DOS Version 6 and use its multiple DOS
- configurations capability. Switch "/r" causes DMCSTRT to refresh the
- Windows desktop with the current active configuration. The refresh may be
- needed due to accidental deletion of a group. Previously, you would have had
- to switched to another configuration then switched back to refresh the
- Windows desktop. The "/a" and "/r" switches should never be specified at the
- same time.
-
-
- !!!IMPORTANT!!!!
- Before using DMCSTRT, you must issue the following commands from the
- DOS prompt:
- SET WMCPATH=xxx (where xxx is the drive and directory of WMC.)
- SET WMCWINPATH=yyy (where yyy is the drive and directory of Windows.)
-
- Example:
- SET WMCPATH=C:\jreWMC5
- SET WMCWINPATH=C:\WINDOWS
-
- You may want to put this command in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, so it is issued
- every time DOS is started.
-
- DMCSTRT Main Window
-
- The main window of the DMCSTRT program allows the selection of a
- configuration entry to use from up to eight, previously-saved configuration
- entries. The active configuration entry has its text box background color
- different than the other seven entrys' background color.
-
- Pressing ENTER, on any of the active entries will restore that
- configuration. If an entry is password protected, a prompt for the password
- is done. If the password entered is correct, then the configuration entry
- is restored. A total of three trys are allowed to enter the correct current
- password for the configuration entry.
-
- If the "Inactive entries visible on WMCSTRT window" is on, all entries are
- displayed, even inactive ones. Clicking on inactive entries has no effect.
- If the "Inactive entries visible on WMCSTRT window" flag is off, only active
- entries are displayed.
-
-
- Examples:
- To run DMCSTRT, type from the DOS command prompt: DMCSTRT
- To automatically select configuration 3,
- type from the DOS command prompt: DMCSTRT /3
- To automatically refresh Windows with the current active configuration,
- type from the DOS command prompt: DMCSTRT /r
-
- Changing the Active Entry color
-
- To change the Active Entry color from its default of yellow, do the following:
- Edit "jreWMC.INI" in the WMC directory -- this can be done using Notepad
- Add "Hibcolor=????" somewhere after the [Win_Multi_Config] line
- ???? stands for one of these values:
- Black
- Red
- Green
- Yellow
- Blue
- Magenta
- Cyan
- White
- Any other value for ???? will cause the default color of yellow to be
- used. Save "jreWMC.INI" and run DMCSTRT, WMCSAVE, or WMCSTRT to see the
- new color.
