- DOSPrefs is a small commodity with three functions:
-
- 1. Control the "Wildstar"-flag of the Amiga OS 2.0+ dos.library.
-
- 2. Control the "Noclick"-flags of the Amiga OS 2.0+ trackdisk.device.
-
- 3. Provide an all new "Unixdirs"-feature.
-
- See DOSPrefs.doc for further information.

- Changes since 1.2:
-
- - improved GUI. Now has some checkbox gadgets in addition to menus.
- - added a function to save the current settings in DOSPrefs.info
- - improved patching mechanism. Now uses a jumptable; thus, DOSPrefs can
- exit even if someone changed the patched vectors in dos.library.
- - now detects if SetMan or SaferPatches is installed (skips library
- vector change detection in this cases) (suggested by Gunther Nikl).
- - moved the code that is not always needed (GUI, etc.) into an overlay.
- - fixed string conversion function. Now processes names ending in .
- correctly.
- - improved help system. Now searches for guide files in your prefered
- languages, defaulting to english if none are found.
