- PCIWorks
-
- PCIWorks is a simple application which shows an icon for each of
- the major PCI applications: ImageWorks, Xpace, EASI, GCPWorks,
- and FLY!. These applications can easily be started by clicking
- on its corresponding icon. A single icon containing four smaller
- icons allow access to the PCI corporate logo, help, vertical or
- horizontal layout and pciworks exit.
-
- Normally PCIWorks is automatically started upon login by appropriate
- use of the .login, .profile or LOGIN.COM files (depending on your
- system), or by typing pciworks to a prompt in a terminal window.

-

-
- 1 User Defined Icons
-
- Additional application icons may be included in the PCIWorks menu bar by
- providing a special text file. On UNIX systems, this file is called .pciworks
- and on other systems, called pciworks.ini. This file should be placed in the
- directory you are working from or in your home directory. The format of the
- file is as follows.
-
- [large icon filename] [small icon filename] [command to execute]
-
- Empty lines or lines which start with a space are ignored. Comment lines
- can be indicated by beginning the line with a #.
-
- Here is an example.
-
- @verbatim
- # first application
- applic64.ic applic48.ic applic
-
- # clock
- clock64.ic . xclock
- @end
-
- The icon files, applic64.ic, applic48.ic, and clock64.ic must
- be created first. These must reside in directory you are working from. The
- PCIWorks program uses two icon sizes, 64x64 and 48x48. These can be
- created using the standard X bitmap editor on your system. Ask your
- system administrator for help if you are unsure about this step.
-
- If you did not create an icon for a particular size, a . can be placed
- to indicate that no icon exists for that size. In this case, PCIWorks
- will not include that icon if PCIWorks is started up in that size. For the
- above example, if the system uses small icons, the clock icon will not appear.
-
- The command to execute does not necessarily have to be an application
- but can be any executable including shell scripts.
