; This file is a prototype for the .INI file you can
; use to run WinBench 96 in batch mode (i.e. non-interactively).
;
; To run WinBench 96 in batch mode, use the command line:
;
; WB96 AUTO filename.ini
;
; The file named "filename.ini" supplies WinBench 96's environment
; settings, the tests WinBench 96 will run, and the names of
; its results files.
;
; You can copy and edit this file to reflect the environment
; settings for your computer. You can also create a suite
; file that describes the tests you want to run and refer to
; it in the StepN section(s) below. Change the settings in the
; StepN section(s) to specify the names of your result files.
[Environment]
; Normally WinBench 96 remembers any changes you make to the
; environment settings using the Disclosure Questionnaire in
; the DISCLOSE.INI file. You can override the settings in the
; DISCLOSE.INI file by copying entries from the ChangedByUser
; or NotChangedByUser sections in the DISCLOSE.INI file to
; this section and modifying them.
; In addition, you can use DOS environment variables to override
; some of the entries in DISCLOSE.INI. The table below identifies
; the entries and their associated DOS environment variables.
; Entry Environment Variable
;
; PIN PIN
; Variant1 VARIANT1
; Variant2 VARIANT2
; Variant3 VARIANT3
; Variant4 VARIANT4
; Variant5 VARIANT5

; Tester Name TESTER
; Tester Organization TESTORG
; WinBench 96 contains tests that, with your help, can determine
; an appropriate value for the following fields. You can enable
; these tests by removing the semicolon (;) at the beginning of
; each line.
;Display Refresh Rate=Determine With Test
;Display Cursor Type=Determine With Test
;Display Color Reproduction=Determine With Test
[Options]
; Setting ExitWindows to True causes WinBench 96 to exit Windows
; when WinBench 96 terminates. The default value is False, so
; WinBench 96 normally exits and leaves Windows running.
ExitWindows=False
; Setting ExitBenchmark to True causes WinBench 96 to exit when
; it completes all its tests. The default value is True,
; so WinBench 96 normally stops after completing its tests.
ExitBenchmark=True
; Setting DemoMode to True causes WinBench 96 to run the test suite
; specified in the first step in demo mode. The default
; value is False.
; WinBench 96 will not save any results when it runs in demo mode,
; and it will ignore the ExitWinBench and ExitWindows settings,
; as well as all sections named [StepN], where N is larger than 1.
DemoMode=False
; Setting these two options to True causes WinBench 96 to check the
; Configuration Information.
Display tips before testing=False
Display custom configuration before testing=False
; If you enable the custom configuration above, you must supply the
; full path name of the custom configuration file in the next item.
Custom configuration file=pathname
[Messages]
; InitMessage contains a time-out value in seconds and a string
; that WinBench 96 displays in a message box after it starts. This
; field is optional.
; A time-out value of 0 indicates that WinBench 96 will display the
; message box until the tester closes that box. WinBench 96 replaces
; tilde characters (~) with line breaks in the actual message
; box.
InitMessage=10,WinBench 96 is starting.
[StepN]
; Repeat the StepN section as many times as you want, with N
; starting at 1 and increasing. Each section specifies a suite
; of tests to run, options WinBench 96 should use during those
; tests, and results files to save. You can also specify comparison
; machines you wish to use in the Chart and Table of Results.
; This option is useful, however, only in the last StepN section.
; The Suite setting specifies the path name of the suite
; file that contains the list of tests to run and/or display.
; The CUSTOM.WBS suite contains all tests. You can create
; additional suite files by using the Suite/Create menu item.
;
; Every Step section must have a Suite setting.
Suite=c:\zdbench\wb96\suites\custom.wbs
; WinBench 96 adds the following fields to the results file. You
; would normally change them by using the Disclosure Questionnaire
; window. These fields let you change the Description and Comments
; for each Step. You can set these fields in the Environment
; section above or use different values for each step.
;Description=Tester Must Supply
;Comments=Tester Must Supply
; Setting ClearResults to False prevents WinBench 96 from forgetting
; all results from previous steps. The default value is True,
; meaning WinBench 96 will forget all previous results at the start
; of the step.
ClearResults=True
; Setting DontRunTests to True prevents WinBench 96 from running
; the tests specified in the Suite. This option is useful for
; displaying results from comparison machines without running
; the tests. The default value is False, meaning WinBench 96 will
; run its tests.
DontRunTests=False
; The CompareN entries specify up to four comparison machine
; results files you wish to use in the Table and Chart of
; Results. These settings are all optional.
;Compare1=c:\zdbench\wb96\exports\results1.txt
;Compare2=c:\zdbench\wb96\exports\results2.txt
;Compare3=c:\zdbench\wb96\exports\results3.txt
;Compare4=c:\zdbench\wb96\exports\results4.txt
;Compare5=c:\zdbench\wb96\exports\results5.txt
; Setting IncludeResults to False prevents WinBench 96 from
; displaying the current results in the Chart of Results
; window. You must specify at least one comparison machine
; to exclude the current results. The default value is True,
; meaning WinBench 96 will display the current results in the
; Chart of Results window.
IncludeResults=True
; StartMessage and EndMessage contain a time-out value in
; seconds and a string WinBench 96 displays in a message box
; at the beginning and end of the Step, respectively. Both
; messages are optional. A time-out value of 0 indicates
; WinBench 96 will display the message box until the tester
; closes that box. WinBench 96 replaces tilde characters (~)
; with line breaks in the message box.
StartMessage=10,WinBench 96 is about to start running the custom suite.
EndMessage=10,WinBench 96 has saved the results in the file~RESULTS.TXT.
; You may define test settings below.
; The 'Disk Drive' setting specifies which drive WinBench 96 should use
; for all of the disk tests.
;Disk Drive=C
; The 'CD-ROM Drive' setting specifies which drive WinBench 96 should use
; for all of the CD-ROM and Video tests.
;CD-ROM Drive=D
; The Video settings control how WinBench 96 plays video clip files. Some
; settings have special values. For example the 'Playback Directory'
; setting can be a path (e.g. C:\TEMP) or the constant 'DoNotCopyBeforePlay'
; to specify that WinBench 96 should play the video clip from the CD-ROM.
;
; Video:Playback Directory Directory path to which WinBench 96 copies
; the video clips and from which WinBench 96
; plays the video clips or 'DoNotCopyBeforePlay'.
; This setting let you run the video clips
; from a local or network drive instead of
; a CD-ROM drive.
; Video:Compute FPS Enables or disables WinBench 96's
; computation of the maximum display rate
; (frames per second). Valid values are
; 'Yes' and 'No'. The default value is 'Yes'.
; Video:Compute Utilization Enables or disables WinBench 96's
; computation of the CPU utilization. Valid
; values are 'Yes' and 'No'. The default
; value is 'Yes'.
;
; For example, the following setting tells WinBench 96 to copy all video
; clips to the TEMP directory on drive C before playing them.
;Video:Playback Directory=C:\TEMP
; The following setting prevents WinBench 96 from computing the maximum
; display for all video tests.
;Video:Compute FPS=no
; The following setting prevents WinBench 96 from computing the CPU
; utilization for all video tests.
;Video:Compute Utilization=no
; The following settings are only valid for the 'User Supplied Video Clip'
; video test. You must specify the 'Video Clip Path' setting for the 'User
; Supplied Movie' video test.
;
; Video/User Supplied Video Clip:Video Clip Path
; The path(s) to the video clip file(s) you
; want WinBench 96 to play. Separate each
; path and file name with semicolons.
; Video/User Supplied Video Clip:Scale Factor
; X,Y scale factors or 'FullScreen'.
; For example '0.5,0.5' plays the video clip
; at half its original size. The default is
; '1,1'. 'FullScreen' scales the video clip
; to completely fill the WinBench 96 main
; window.
; Video/User Supplied Video Clip:Alignment
; Specifies the X and Y alignment of the
; window. A value of 0 aligns the video clip
; window on an 8-pixel boundary. A value of
; 7 aligns the window 7 pixels to the right
; or below an 8-pixel boundary. The default
; value is '0,0'.
; Video/User Supplied Video Clip:Clipping Windows
; A string in the form 'N,X,Y,WIDTH,HEIGHT'
; where N is the video clip index (1-4) the
; window is relative to; X and Y are the window
; coordinates specified as percentages of the
; movie size; WIDTH and HEIGHT are the window
; size specified as percentage of the video
; clip size. For example '1,0,0,50,100'
; creates a window that would clip the left
; half (50% width, Full height) of the first
; video clip. The default value '0,0,0,0,0'
; uses no clipping windows.
;
; The following setting tells WinBench 96 to play the video clip C:\AVI\TEST.AVI
; when you run the User Supplied Video Clip test, scale the video clip by a
; factor of two in height and width, play the video clip in an unaligned window,
; and use a clipping window.
;Video/User Supplied Video Clip:Video Clip Path=C:\AVI\TEST.AVI
;Video/User Supplied Video Clip:Scale Factor=2,2
;Video/User Supplied Video Clip:Alignment=1,1
;Video/User Supplied Video Clip:Clipping Windows=1,0,0,50,100
; You may save results from this step in a database by
; uncommenting the Database setting and changing the
; path name of the database directory.
;Database=c:\zdbench\results.zdb
; Edit the settings below by changing the file name and
; directory name to specify the results files you want
; to produce. Comment out any settings for result files
; you do not want. You can produce all three types of
; result files or any subset of the results files you like.
