APPRECIATION A special thanks goes to Ed Rauch, Program Consultant, for his contribution and testing to the Config/Autoexec Manager v1.0. His understanding and patience has been tested. We do thank you for being patient and providing an insight toward making this program what it is today. Thanks, Ed!! INTRODUCTION This program was developed to aid users and engineers who use multiple CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files to execute a variety of programs with different configurations on PC/MS-DOS based computers. This program is the result of combined efforts of Scott Miller and Ed Rauch to develop a program that can effortlessly manage these different configurations with high- speed manueverability. This program was written and compiled under Borland's Turbo Pascal v5.5.

CAM will create its files and prompt you to change its Options, if needed. CAM will then allow you to Update Configurations, that is, create new or change existing configurations. CAM will automatically locate and copy your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files into its directory and name it as a STANDARD CONFIGURATION. Upon exiting, CAM Installation will then be complete and you may run CAM at the DOS prompt.
