WIN6UTIL Version 1.2 (C) Copyright 1994 Lester Henderson & Revendell Enterprises All rights reserved. MS-DOS 6.0 gives users the ability to create multiple configurations of config.sys & autoexec.bat. While this is very handy, one problem is that windows does not give this same flexability. WIN6UTIL gives you the ability to change your WIN.INI & SYSTEM.INI files on the fly based on your boot-up configuration from MS-DOS. For Example: CONFIG.SYS [MENU] menuitem=Games, Configure for Games menuitem=Network, Configure for Network menuitem=SSound, Configure for SuperSound . . . AUTOEXEC.BAT goto %config% This above example gives you 3 ways to boot your system. Your config.sys & autoexec.bat can process this at runtime. Let's say that I have a driver for the SuperSound card that needs to be loaded in the [386enh] section of SYSTEM.INI. For sake of argument, let's also say that the card cannot be enabled when the Network is being used. By adding the menuitem/config options one line above where it is needed in the WIN.INI or SYSTEM.INI we can allow WIN6UTIL to configure these options on the fly: [386enh] device=anydriver.386 {SSound} device=ssound.386 . . . What WIN6UTIL will do, if the user picks any menu option other than SSOUND, the line "device=ssound.386" will be changed to ";device=ssound.386" but if the user picks SSOUND, WIN6UTIL will make sure that there is no semi-colin infront of the option. It is important that you put the CONFIG option inside {} braces NOT [] brackets. This program does not keep multiple copies of your WIN.INI and SYSTEM.INI, but rather modifies your existing INI files directly. This program is designed to be run before you run windows. I suggest that your autoexec.bat execute it as part of your startup sequence. WIN6UTIL expects to be in the windows directory. Disclaimer ---------- The WIN6UTIL is provided AS IS.
