CONFIGWS.DOC 01/08/94 The CONFIGWS program is used to permanently switch the defaults for certain Wayne Software and U.S. Department of Commerce programs. Note that CONFIGWS will update the EXE date of any program you process with it. As such, the file date shown by DOS will not match the revision date shown when you actually run the program. CONFIGWS looks for any of a list of executable files in your default subdirectory. It allows you to modify any it finds, giving you a list of the possible programs. The same CONFIGWS will let you modify any of the programs it finds; you don't have to keep multiple versions of CONFIGWS.EXE. Currently, CONFIGWS will let you set the following defaults in the following routines: Routine Settable defaults Values AV Pause output /P or /-P List order /ON, /O-N, /OS, /O-S, /OD, /O-D /OE, /O-E, /OC, /O-C /OO BFIND Reverse match criteria /V or /-V Show counts only /C or /-C Number lines /N or /-N Case insensitive /I or /-I Pause output /P or /-P Include headings /HEADER or /-HEADER CHANGE Reverse match criteria /V or /-V Case insensitive /I or /-I CONVERT Output format /TO FIXED, /TO ASCII, /TO WKS, or /TO DBF Action update bad data /SKIP, /MISSING, or /ABORT Beep when done /BEEP or /-BEEP Overwrite output file /OVERWRITE, /-OVERWRITE, or /OVERASK COPSINCE Copy which group of files /TEXT, /-TEXT, /USER1, or /USER2 Beep when done /BEEP or /-BEEP Also overwrite older files /REPLACE or /-REPLACE Copy to where A:\ or B:\ DEMOMAKE Overwrite output file /OVERWRITE, /-OVERWRITE, or /OVERASK DIRTOTAL Beep when done /BEEP or /-BEEP Include sub w/child tots /SUB or /-SUB List order /ON, /O-N, /OS, /O-S, /OD, /O-D /OO Report format /NORMAL, /WIDE, /THIN, or /SPLIT FILL Output destination A: or B: Beep when done /BEEP or /-BEEP Confirm each file /PROMPT or /-PROMPT Wipe out existing files /WIPE or /-WIPE If output file exists /OVERASK, /OVERWRITE, /-OVERWRITE, /OVERSKIP Copy order /ON, /O-N, /OS, /O-S, /OD, /O-D Move or copy /MOVE or /COPY Multi- or single disk /MULTI or /SINGLE FIXTEXT Input text file type /CRLF, /CR, /LF, or /-LINE Output text file type /TO=CRLF, /TO=CR, /TO=LF, or /TO=-LINE Fix up tabs/backspaces /TEXT or /-TEXT MULTICOL Action update bad data /SKIP, /MISSING, or /ABORT Beep when done /BEEP or /-BEEP Overwrite output file /OVERWRITE, /-OVERWRITE, or /OVERASK READ Monochrome or color /MONO or /-MONO Printer definition /PLPT1:, /PLPT2:, /PCOM1:, /PCOM2:, or /PREAD.DMP Access to DOS functions /DOS, or /-DOS In addition, CONFIGWS also changes the defaults to the following routines which are no longer being updated: ADD Add what's selected vs not /V or /-V Show line count only /C or /-C Case-insensitive search /I or /-I READWK Monochrome or color /MONO or /-MONO Printer definition /PLPT1:, /PLPT2:, /PCOM1:, /PCOM2:, or /PREAD.DMP TAKE1ST Reverse match criteria /V or /-V Case insensitive /I or /-I Write out unique or dups /UNIQUE or /DUPS Running the program: CONFIGWS [ routine ] [ /MONO | /-MONO | /COLOR | /-COLOR ] [ /? ] where: "routine" is the name of the routine to change. ".EXE" is presumed. You can fully specify the location and name of the program if you want but CONFIGWS will search for it if you don't. If CONFIGWS is in the same subdirectory as the other program, it won't have any trouble finding it. If you don't specify anything, you'll get a current list of all CONFIGWS-able programs that are in your default directory. "/MONO" or "/-COLOR" sets the screens to monochrome. "/-MONO" or "/COLOR" sets the screens to color and is typically the default. "/?" or "/HELP" or "HELP" gives you syntactical help with the command.
