F_SWITCH will only work with GDOSFSM, FONTGDOS and SPEEDOGDOS 
earlier versions of GDOS are NOT supported.

F_SWITCH allows you to create lists of BIT-Mapped fonts that 
can be assigned to up to 20 different programs.


                        How It Works

From the release of FONTGDOS GDOS has allowed the user to 
switch lists of fonts/printer drivers contained in the file 
ASSIGN.SYS in the root directory of the boot drive.
To use font switch place a folder named ASSIGN in your AUTO 
folder.  Next place the F_SWITCH.ACC and F_SWITCH.RSC in the 
ROOT directory of your boot drive.
NOTE: F_SWITCH is not recommended for use from INSIDE 
Multidesk Deluxe.
The next step is simply place an ASSIGN.SYS file in the root 
directory of your boot drive.
Place your alternate ASSIGN.SYS files in the ASSIGN folder 
you placed in the AUTO folder they MUST have an .SYS 
extender.
To create alternate ASSIGN.SYS files use a text processor or 
a GDOSmanager like DragonWare's G_MAN PRO ($74.95 with 35 
Bit-mapped font faces) and place them in the ASSIGN folder.

To assign a font list to a program simply click on a program 
name in the dialog a file selector will appear and request 
you to select a program.  The accessory will then present a 
file selector to select the font list to assign to the 
program you just selected.
If you wish this program/font list combination to be set up 
on boot up press the SAVE button and F_SWITCH will save the 
current list to disk.

To delete a program/font list combination click on the 
program name and then press the Cancel button in the file 
selector and the combination will be deleted.

To bypass the switching function of f_SWITCH simply press the 
BYPASS button and the accessory will display a file selector 
for you to select a ASSIGN.SYS file to be installed as 
default ASSIGN.SYS.  To return to normal operation of 
F_SWITCH simply press the BYPASS button once more and 
switching will resume as before.

About F_SWITCH is selected by clicking on the DragonWare logo 
in the upper right corner of the main dialog.

F_SWITCH creates a file called F_SWITCH.INF which is located 
in the ASSIGN folder.  This file contains the program/font 
lists that the Accessory uses for list switching.

If you find making your own ASSIGN.SYS files hard try 
DragonWare's G_MAN PRO GDOS manager.
