SWITCHER by Douglas Boling

PURPOSE:

         Switcher lets multiple users work harmoniously on the same
computer by saving and providing quick access to individual Microsoft
Windows 3.1 configurations. Switcher can save and restore such settings
as wallpaper, mouse speed, button configurations, and screen saver.

SETUP:

         To install Switcher, simply copy it to a directory on your hard
disk. Then choose File x New in Program Manager, select Program Item,
and specify the path and filename for Switcher. Then double-click on
the icon to load the program.

         Use the Windows Control Panel to configure Windows the way you
want, and then select Add New Button from Switcher’s Buttons menu.
You will be prompted for a button name and some optional information.
To create additional buttons, go through the same process again.
Reconfigure Windows using Control Panel, select Buttons x Add New Button,
and then give the new button a name. To switch configurations, simply
click the desired button.

REMARKS:

          The optional fields in the Add New Button dialog box are
Startup program, Cleanup program, and Resave on Switch. The Startup
program is launched when the button you are configuring is clicked;
the Cleanup program is launched when a different button is clicked.
Both programs can be script files for Windows batch-program utilities,
such as WinBatch or WINCMD.
With the Resave on Switch option enabled, Switcher will resave your button settings any time a configuration change is made. When this feature is not enabled, the setup for a button will remain as it was originally configured, regardless of later changes to the desktop.

           Switcher stores configuration information in a file called
SWITCHER.DAT, which is located in the same directory as SWITCHER.EXE.
