- DATACHNG
-
- The purpose of the DATACHNG utility is to give the sysop the
- ability to non-destructively several CTDLCNFG.SYS parameters. The
- relevant parameters are:
-
- #MAXROOMS
- #MSG-SLOTS
- #MAIL-SLOTS
- #LOGSIZE
- #SHARED-ROOMS
- #NET-ARCH-ROOMS
-
- ALWAYS MAKE BACKUPS BEFORE USING THIS UTILITY!
-
- DATACHNG is a very crude and simple menu-driven program which exits
- when an illegal selection is made from the menu. On valid selections,
- DATACHNG will ask for a new value, and then ATTEMPT to modify your
- installation for the new value. NOTE: As of this writing, the system
- attempts all changes IN MEMORY. If there is not enough RAM, then this
- utility fails. This should only happen for very large installations
- ("large", in this case, does not refer to the message base; see
- EXPAND for details on expanding your message base). If this happens
- to you, then you should either attempt to hack the source for this
- utility so that it uses temporary files (a tedious but simple procedure),
- or entice someone into doing it for you (ibid).
-
- With the exception of the LOGSIZE parameter, all of the parameters may
- either be shrunk or expanded. LOGSIZE can only (currently) be expanded.
- See the CVRTLOG utility for a method of shrinking your LOGSIZE.
-
- Make sure to update your CTDLCNFG.SYS after using DATACHNG! However,
- you do NOT need to use CONFG after using DATACHNG.
