- │ How to optimize TCD │
- └─────────────────────┘
- 1) Enable the Expanded Memory Manager if you have one.
-
- 2) Install a mouse if possible.
-
-
-
-
- ┌────────────────┐
- │ Tips and Hints │
- └────────────────┘
- 1) Press F1 for help anytime in TCD.
-
- 2) Pressing Control-Break will terminate TCD instantly.
-
- 3) TCD can take an optional drive name. For example:
- TCD C will show the directory tree of C drive.
- The current drive is assumed if no drive is given.
-
- 4) You can adjust the blinking rate of the text cursor
- in TCD by pressing the function key F3. The text
- cursor is present whenever you are prompted to type
- something or when you are using the text editor.
-
- 5) If a file has the SYSTEM and/or HIDDEN attributes on,
- then it will resist to be operated by the File Manager.
- You must first switch off the SYSTEM and/or HIDDEN
- attributes with the File Manager.
-
- 6) TCD.EXE must not be tempered or renamed in order to
- work properly.
-
-
-
- ┌───────────────┐
- │ Disk Contents │
- └───────────────┘
- TCD comes with the following files on a 360K disk:-
-
- TCD.EXE TCD Executable Program file
-
- TCD.DOC TCD Document file ( This File! )
-
- TCD.PAL TCD Palette file
-
- *.BGI Video Support files
-
- REGISTER.DOC TCD Registration Form
-
-
-
- If you have a limited disk space, you may omit all the
- BGI files but the one appropriate to your video graphics.
- Moreover, the BGI files need not reside in the same
- directory with TCD.EXE as long as that directory is
- included in the PATH command within your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
-
- I have made a decision not to link the BGI files into TCD.EXE
- in order to keep its size small.
-
-
-
-
- ┌─────────────────────┐
- │ Color Customization │
- └─────────────────────┘
- It is possible to customize the colors used in TCD with VICON,
- another Shareware program written by me. Both TCD and VICON
- employ the same slick graphical user interface (GUI).
-
- Start up VICON, select Options from the horizontal menu and
- Palette Editor from the pull-down menu. When you are fully
- satisfied with the palette, save it under the name TCD.PAL
- beside TCD.EXE or to any directory registered with the PATH
- command.
-
- TCD.EXE always searches for TCD.PAL on start-up and use the
- palette contained in TCD.PAL for all its windows, menus,
- buttons, graphics and text. If TCD.PAL is not found the
- default EGA palette is used.
