Installation/Registration

Using Multi Execute 1.00


Installation
Installation/Registration

Copy the file MCMEXEC.EXE to a directory of your own choice, possibly a new
one but that's not necessary. Add an icon in Progman for Multi Execute 1.00

Important

It is absolutely necessary to add the correct association in WIN.INI otherwise
it will not work correctly. It should look like this
MEF=C:\ path \MCMEXEC.EXE ^.MEF
where path is replaced with the right path to where MCMEXEC.EXE resides.
The easiest way to do this is to use file manager's file menu and choose
associate (or what it is called in your language ) write the file extension MEF
and browse to MCMEXEC. If you prefer to edit WIN.INI by hand please notice
that Windows has to be restarted so the change will take effect.

Using Multi Execute 1.00

When Multi Execute is used to launch programs it will load itself in Execute
mode, that means that it will place an icon on the desktop who is "connected"
to the program who was started. So when you want to close the programs the
only thing you have to do is to double-click on the Multi Execute icon on the
desktop ( or switch to it with ALT + TAB ) and it will close down the programs it
has started.

Creating Icons

When you create a MEF-file you probably want to install that file as an icon in program manager. To do so you can choose the menu Options!MEF -> ICON This is only possibly when you have saved your MEF-file. You'll see a dialogbox where you can edit the iconstring of your icon, the command line to the MEF-file and a drop down box where you can select a group to put your icon in. If you writes a new group name a new group will bee created.These function's will only work if you are using Windows standard shell program Program Manager.


Creating Multi Execute Files. MEF-files

First of all you have to start Multi Execute. There are then two alternatives to add objects to a MEF-file, one way is to start a file manager and drag files from the file manager to the Multi Execute window and drop them there, the other way is to use the menu Window!Add to select the files one by one. The files will bee displayed as icons in Multi Executes window, it's ok to select working files as long as they are associated to a program. If they aren't there icon will bee an Question icon. They will not bee executed. You can then use the File menu to save the file. Make sure that the extension of the file's you save really is MEF.

Editing Multi Execute Files. MEF-files

Standard file functions like Save, Save as, New and Open work just like you are used to. When you opens a MEF-file you'll see the icons to the programs that it will load. It is possibly to erase one (or more ) icons to do so point on that icon and click mouse one time you'll then see a system menu select close and that icon will go away. To erase all icons in an MEF-file select the menu Window!Close all. The Window Menu also has an Undo close option, you can undo many steps
