Box 1243 Newtown, PA 18940-9998 GEnie: E.WISNIEWSK1 (Temporary E-Mail address) Tested On: ========== The program is known to work with the following computers : 520ST, 1040ST, 520STE, 1040STE, and MEGASTe. This program was written mainly for hard-drive users. Floppy users will not see a great benefit from the use of this program. Since COPY_INF does not use any undocumened variables. It should work with any TOS Version. The program was tested on a 1040STe with TOS 2.06 and a Mega-STe with TOS 2.05 using standard Color/Mono monitors. It currently runs in LOW, MEDIUM, or HIGH resolutions under TOS 1.00 - 2.06. It should run under other TOS's, but I have no way to test them. TT/Falcon users who want to use this program under other resolutions will have to E-Mail me. Other Stuff: ============ This program was written on a 1040STe using Dev-Pac ST Version 2.00. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Purpose: ======== After using several boot-up type programs, I got tired of doing one operation every time I changed and saved my Desktop. And that was having to copy the Desktop file to the folder that contains all my other desktop files and rename it for the right screen resolution. Hence, this little program came into existenance. - Works for both NEWDESK.INF and DESKTOP.INF files. - Allows you to select the destination path, so it will work with any boot-up type program. This program will take the existing desktop file from the root of C, copy it to your selected destination path, and rename it to the appropriate filename depending on the CURRENT screen resolution. Example: If you are in MEDIUM resolution, it will copy and rename the file MEDIUM.INF. If you have both NEWDESK.INF and DESKTOP.INF on your Drive C, NEWDESK.INF is looked for first and if found is the one that is copied. The only reason that I can think for both files existing is for the people that have dual ROMs installed in their computer. Program Usage: ============== Your desktop files must be named as follows: LOW.INF - Your Low Resolution desktop file. MEDIUM.INF - Your Medium Resolution desktop file. HIGH.INF - Your High Resolution desktop file. If someone needs filenames that are different than the above, please E-Mail me or drop me a note via Snail Mail (U.S. Mail). Upon running the program, you are given three options: 'OK', 'ABORT', and 'CONFIG'. They are as follows: OK - This copies the desktop file using the path that is saved in the program. If you did not select a path yet, then the program will default to C:. ABORT - Quits the program without doing anything. CONFIG - This calls up the file selector and allow you to select your destination path. After you have selected your path and clicked on OK, the program will save this path to itself and go copy the desktop file. You only have to set the destination path once, or if you change the path containing your desktop files. --------------------------------------------------------------------------
