- THE ENVIRONMENT VARIABLE "OMNIPLAY"
- ===================================
-
- These files are examples of the use of the OMNIPLAY environment
- variable, which first appeared in OmniPlay v1.21. These variables
- can be used to set your personal defaults for OmniPlay, much as you
- would in a shell alias. To use one of these files as your own
- default setting, copy the file to ENVARC:OMNIPLAY and to
- ENV:OMNIPLAY. Any OmniPlay program of version 1.21 or greater will
- read this variable and parse the contents as if it were a command
- line, then it will do the command line itself. You can create your
- own environment variable by creating a file called ENV:OMNIPLAY and
- making its contents the OmniPlay options you wish to be default.
- This works under any Kickstart, as long as you have the ENV: logical
- device assigned somewhere.
-
- If you have ENV: assigned to somewhere in RAM:, as most people do,
- you should have some way of recovering the value of the variable at
- startup. Kickstarts 2.0 and higher do this automatically; they
- assign ENVARC: to a directory on your boot disk, and copy its
- contents to ENV: at startup. If you don't use 2.0, you can either:
- 1) Get 2.0 or higher
- 2) a) make a directory on your boot disk to store the environment.
- As an example, use sys:prefs/env-archive. (This is where
- KS 2.0 puts it, so using this directory will allow you to
- painlessly keep your environment when you upgrade.)
- b) put a line in your startup-sequence to assign ENV: somewhere,
- and another to copy the directory in 2a) to it. Using our
- example:
- c:makedir RAM:env
- c:assign ENV: ram:env
- c:copy sys:prefs/env-archive/#? env:
