Usage
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Usage is pretty self explanatory. Each of the gadgets corresopond to one
of MultiCX tooltypes. Please see MultiCX docs for explaination of each.
When you click on "Test" the current config is saving to the MultiCX icon
so you can try it out. If you then select "Quit" or "Cancel" then old
configuration will be restored in the MultiCX icon, that is if you have not
saved it. The test gadget will only be active if MultiCX is running.
Note 1: All unknown tooltypes in the icon will be restored when you save
your prefs. This will allow you to use newer version of MultiCX without
loosing the tooltypes for the new options that MultiCX prefs does not know
yet.
Note 2: MultiCX prefs will automatically add the ExtPrefs tooltype. This
will contain the path for MultiCX and your preference for WarnChanges.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Configuration
------------------------------------------------------------------------
MultiCXPath (tooltype or shell)
By default MultiCX Prefs will load the prefs for the currently running
copy of MultiCX. If for some reason you are not running MultiCX, then
MultiCX Prefs will load the icon specified with this tooltype. Remember
to specify the full path of the icon including its name with or without
the .info.
default SYS:WBStartup/MultiCX
WarnChanges=<YES|NO> (tooltype or shell)
Tells MultiCX Prefs not to put up the warning requester if you have
changed the current config. This option can also be changed by
toggling the "Warn Changes" menu item.
default YES

History
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------
Version 1.10 (06.06.95 21:34:42)
------------------------------------------------------------
- I has been brought to my attention the gtlayout.library
include with MultiCX Prefs does not work with a processor
lower than a '020. I am attempting to get this problem
fixed, but have been unable to do so as of now.

-----------------------------------------------------------
Version 1.6 (23.05.95 15:24:09)
-----------------------------------------------------------
- MultiCX was not running the preference editor as a backround
process, so MultiCX Prefs will now include a "RUN" in the
EXTPREFS tooltype. This should solve the problem of some
of MultiCX's hotkeys not working, while MultiCX Prefs is
running. Reported by by Mario Cattaneo
-----------------------------------------------------------
Version 1.5 (22.05.95 14:23:52)
