Short: A command 4 changin'many prefs at a time Author: wkocjan@polbox.com (Wojciech Kocjan) Uploader: wkocjan polbox com (Wojciech Kocjan) Type: util/cli Version: 1.3 Requires: OS2.04 Architecture: m68k-amigaos 1. Introduction A command that can be used in ToolManager or any other utility to change Workbench's preferences. Should (but will not, in some cases;-) word with non-standard prefs programs (will with those who support the template: FILE/A,USE/S or something like that). USAGE: ChgPrefs PRESET/A Where: PRESET - is a name of a directory in a dir SYS:Prefs/Presets, from which the files should be read. example: Weird20 -> SYS:Prefs/Presets/Weird20 The program then looks in that directory up for files matching pattern "#?.prefs" and executes the prefs program connected with it (wbpattern.prefs -> SYS:Prefs/WBPattern, MyOwnProgram.prefs -> SYS:Prefs/MyOwnProgram). It also looks for a file "AmigaDOS.script" and if it exists, it executes it after changing the prefs files. Tried it with ToolManager 2.1 and StartMenu2 - works OK. It's very good for changing the printer drivers, fonts & keymaps (like AmigaPL or ISO ), screenmodes or pointers. 2. Legal stuff It's freeware! blah blah blah - LEGAL STUFF HERE - Thank you. 3. Other products My other products on Aminet: - game/gag/ufocheat.lha - cheating on UFO/AGA - game/gag/transacheat.lha - mo' lignite & anthrecite in TransArctica - util/boot/astart.lha - allows to LoadWB with more memory - util/cli/wkutils.lha - some useful commands I recommend trying AStart! It's a good util and when booting up with mo' memory it still makes the assigns in user-startup - didn't find anything else like that on Aminet! Besides it was one of the most downloaded archives last week (I wrote this on 7/09/97) - 6th place. The rest isn't very good - but still darn useful! 4.
