-
- 1. Intro.
- -----------
- Epu-Gui is an attempt to make epu more managable from the Workbench
- This was Programmed in E, and is my first E program.
- You are expected to have read EPU's documentation first.
- This program is for kickstart 2.04 and upwards only.
-
-
-
-
- 2. Installation.
- ------------------
- There is nothing special about this: just be sure you have Epu_cfg
- in the S: directory and Epu-Gui can go anywhere you wish.
- You must have Reqtools.library Version 37 or greater in your LIBS:
- directory.
- And of course you must have EPU on your path.
-
-
-
-
- 3. Config.
- ------------
- The program use's S:epu_cfg for its minimal configuration.
-
-
- The First line.
- ---------------
- sets the DEFAULT library for EPU I.E.
-
- NUKE
-
- (NOTE this line MUST be capitals )
- as the first line, would be the same as starting Epu with
- the following cli command.
-
- >EPU DEVICE XXX LIB NUKE
-
-
- The Second line.
- ----------------
- This line sets the distance from the top of the screen to the top left
- hand corner of the EPU-GUI Window.
- Value should be between 0 and 210 approx the large figure will depend
- on your Screen Configuration. Try it and see - if it does'nt open its
- window reduce the figure.
-
-
- The Third line.
- ---------------
- This line sets the distance from the left of the screen to the top left
- hand corner of the EPU-GUI Window.
- Value should be between 0 and 350 approx the large figure will depend
- on your Screen Configuration. Try it and see - if it does'nt open its
- window reduce the figure.
-
- I will problably be adding a few more options to the Config file
- such as Positioning the output window, and the complete default settings
- not just the library.
-
-
-
-
- 4. Nosave Gadget.
- ------------------
- This activates EPU's NOSAVE option I.E.
-
- >EPU DEVICE DF0 NOSAVE CHNG
-
- is the command line equivalent.
-
-
-
-
- 5. Info Gadget.
- ----------------
- This activates EPU's Information Screen I.E.
-
- >EPU DEVICE DF0 INFO
-
- is the command line equivalent.

- 6. Real Size Gadget.
- ---------------------
- This shows you the real size of a file not the crunched size
- I.E.
- noddy.doc 67824 rwed - real size
- noddy.doc 32465 rwed - crunched size
-
- >EPU DEVICE DF0 NOEXAM NOEXNEXT CHNG
-
- is the command line equivalent.
-
-
-
-
- 7. Start Gadget.
- -----------------

- default settings.
-
- STATUS:
- LOAD / SAVE / EXAM / EXNEXT / HMODE
- BLOCK: 10

- LIBRARY: xpkNUKE
-
- you can change the LIBRARY you use as Default in the config
- file, see section 3 for details.

-
-
-
-
- 8. Save Gadget.

-
- >EPU DEVICE DF0 EXAM EXNEXT CHNG
-
- is the command line equivalent.
-
-
-
-
- 11. Stop Gadget.
- ----------------
- This is how you stop EPU on a Device.
- it is the same as typing
-
- >EPU DEVICE DF0 KILL
-
- at the command line, you will get a message saying
-
- "EPU will die as soon as possible."
-
- this normally is after any files in read/write progress on the
- device have finished.
