Short: WarpOS/StormMESA/Warp3D prefs program
Author: Jacek Rzeuski (jrzeuski@neptun.gdansk.tpsa.pl)
Uploader: Jacek Rzeuski (jrzeuski@neptun.gdansk.tpsa.pl)
Type: util/misc
Requires: MUI
Version: 1.2
WOSprefs is a MUI frontend which allows you to set various environment
variables relating to the following programs:
* WarpOS
* StormMesa
* GLUT
* Warp3D
With all the environment variables related to the above packages (over 40
at the last count), the process of setting them quickly became both long
winded and unnecessarily tedious.
Face it, who wants to type such convoluted stuff as...
echo >env:mesa/fast "1"
copy env:mesa/fast envarc:mesa/
...in the CLI every time they want to change a particular environment
variable? Get real! Use WOSprefs - it lets you see all these variables
together, change them, save them to ENV (for testing purposes) or to ENVARC
(making any changes permanent) - and all with a nice MUI GUI.
WOSprefs also provides brief text descriptions of all the variables so you
needn't be stumped for the meaning of a particular variable or setting.
Why no-one thought of it before I guess we'll never know!
