DMCSTRT
The DMCSTRT program is used to restore a saved configuration from native DOS
,is used as an alternative to WMCSTRT, and MUST be used if PC Tools for
Windows is the Window's shell. If you plan on using DMCSTRT, then you should
remove WMCSTRT from the Windows Start-up group.
If there are active configuration entries when DMCSTRT runs, DMCSTRT will
display a configuration selection window. If there are no active
configuration entries when DMCSTRT runs, DMCSTRT will end without displaying
a configuration selection window.
DMCSTRT will accept one command line switch that specifies which configuration
entry to use. The command line switch should be in the form "/a",
where 'a' specifies a saved configuration entry. Saved configuration entries
are numbered 1 to 4 from Top Left to Bottom Left and are numbered 5 to 8 from
Top Right to Bottom Right. This is useful if you have MS-DOS Version 6 and
use its multiple DOS configurations capability.
!!!IMPORTANT!!!!
Before using DMCSTRT, you must issue the following commands from the
DOS prompt:
SET WMCPATH=xxx (where xxx is the drive and directory of WMC.)
SET WMCWINPATH=yyy (where yyy is the drive and directory of Windows.)
Example:
SET WMCPATH=C:\JREWMC5
SET WMCWINPATH=C:\WINDOWS
You may want to put this command in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, so it is issued
every time DOS is started.
DMCSTRT Main Window
The main window of the DMCSTRT program allows the selection of a
configuration entry to use from up to eight, previously-saved configuration
entries. The active configuration entry has its text box background color
different than the other seven entrys' background color.
Pressing ENTER, on any of the active entries will restore that
configuration. If an entry is password protected, a prompt for the password
is done. If the password entered is correct, then the configuration entry
is restored. A total of three trys are allowed to enter the correct current
password for the configuration entry.
If the "Inactive entries visible on WMCSTRT window" is on, all entries are
displayed, even inactive ones. Clicking on inactive entries has no effect.
If the "Inactive entries visible on WMCSTRT window" flag is off, only active
entries are displayed.
Examples:
To run DMCSTRT, type from the DOS command prompt: DMCSTRT
To automatically select configuration,
type from the DOS command prompt: DMCSTRT /3
Changing the Active Entry color
To change the Active Entry color from its default of yellow, do the following:
Edit "JREWMC.INI" in the WMC directory -- this can be done using Notepad
Add "Hibcolor=????" somewhere after the [Win_Multi_Config] line
???? stands for one of these values:
Black
Red
Green
Yellow
Blue
Magenta
Cyan
White
Any other value for ???? will cause the default color of yellow to be
used. Save "JREWMC.INI" and run DMCSTRT, WMCSAVE, or WMCSTRT to see the
new color.
