- AWebPC - the AWeb Preference Conversion utility
- ===============================================
-
- Why?
- ----
- This version of AWeb has an improved configuration mechanism.
- Instead of a single file "AWeb.prefs" in the program directory,
- it now uses a set of files in the ENV:AWeb directory. This
- allows the use of a separate configuration program (AWebCfg),
- with full Save/Use/Test capabilities.
-
- This means that AWeb doesn't recognize the old "AWeb.prefs" file
- any more. You should use the AWebPC program to convert the old
- settings to the new format.
-
- How?
- ----
- Just run the program AWebPC. It asks for the old settings file
- (default: "AWeb.prefs"). It also asks for a configuration name.
- Leave it blank for your normal, default configuration.
- Then click on "Convert". The old settings file is converted to
- a set of files in ENVARC:AWeb and ENV:AWeb.
-
- Note: if the installation script found an "AWeb.prefs" file in
- the directory you installed AWeb in, this file is already
- converted automatically by the installation script.
- The installation will tell you so.
-
- If you used different settings files (by means of the CONFIG
- tooltype or argument) there changes a little bit more for you.
- You can use the AWebPC program to convert your alternate settings
- files, but you'll have to specify a name for them. This name
- will be used to create a subdirectory in ENVARC:AWeb where the
- alternate settings are stored.
- If you want to use AWeb with the alternate settings, you'll
- have to specify this name in the CONFIG tooltype or argument.
-
- What?
- -----
- Most of your settings are copied to their new location. If you
- start the new AWeb, you shouldn't notice any difference except
- maybe the fonts that AWeb uses. That is because the way in which
- the fonts are configured has changed entirely.
-
- AWebPC does its best to convert your old settings to a meaningful
- and consistent set of new "fonts" and "styles" settings.
- However, if you used many different fonts for <CODE>, <CITE>, etc,
- it is likely that you will lose some of this information in the
- conversion. If you don't like the settings AWebPC has created,
- you'll have to change them manually afterwards.
