- COA by Neil J. Rubenking
-
- PURPOSE:
- COA lets you send change-of-address notices to Windows when you
- change the location of a Windows program on your system. It can be used
- to update your .INI files, .GRP files, and registration database
- automatically, or you can use the built-in .INI and .GRP file editors
- to make changes manually.
- USAGE:
- To install COA, simply copy the program files COA.EXE and COA.HLP
- to a directory on your hard disk, and then use Program Manager to add an
- icon for COA.
- COA is flexible, but the simplest way to change the address of a program
- is to start with the Find and Replace window. Type the old address on the
- Find What line and type the new address on the Replace With line. Go to
- the File List window and press the Plus speed button to select which .INI
- and .GRP files to modify. Then press the DO IT button in the Find and
- Replace window. COA will automatically update your registration database
- and the .INI and .GRP files you have selected.
- COA also contains viewers to help in selecting .GRP and .INI files for processing, and editors for making manual changes to .GRP and .INI files.
-
- You can obtain on-line help at any time by pressing the F1 key.
