- Prefs - a utility for the fun of it!
-
- I wrote this thing in response to the C program 'SetPrefs', which a friend
- of mine downloaded from People Link.
-
- Prefs will perform the same function as SetPrefs, but will also allow you
- to save your current preferences to a file on disk. Another feature is
- that Prefs will allow you to save and load JUST the pointer, which is what
- most people want a program like this for, anyway!
-
- Think about it...if you load a whole preferences file that you got off of a
- bulletin board, all of a sudden your WB colors have been changed, your
- screen may (or may not) have moved, and you might have to go into
- preferences anyway to tell the current preferences what printer you have
- hooked up!
-
- Oh, well. The syntax for Prefs is:
-
- Prefs <filename> -load a preferences file, just like
- SetPrefs.
-
- Prefs -s <filename> -save your current preferences to a
- disk file.
-
- Prefs <filename>.p -load a pointer file
-
- Prefs -s <filename>.p -save your pointer to a disk file
-
- Now, the more astute among you may have noticed the difference between
- regular preferences files, and pointer files. The difference is that
- pointer files end with a '.p' extension. That's all there is to it.
-
- Hope someone can use this...
