-- Recommendations for using Golded+ and other VIO-Applications ----------
|
||
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|

|

[Falls Du an einer deutschen Version interessiert bist, melde dich und ich

werde es "=FCbersetzen".. ;)]
|

|
|
|

|
|
The aim of this textfile is to give a suggestion on running Golded (and other
|
||
|
|
VIO-apps) in a very useful and aesthetic way. Give it a try and after getting
|
||
|
|
used to it you will love it that way.
|
||
|
|
I am using the great OS/2 Warp 4 on my system and so this text is mainly
|
||
|
|
directed to OS/2 users, but the main message should also be useful for all
|
||
|
|
other operating systems.
|
||
|
|
To get the mentioned programs just take a look at the end of this text.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
the right size
|
||
|
|
------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is my batch in which Golded+ is started on my system (by using
|
||
|
|
an hotkey assigned through PC/2 - it is really great btw to switch to tasks
|
||
|
|
that you use often by just typing ctrl-alt-g or something similar):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
------------------------
|
||
|
|
-+--[golded2.cmd]-------
|
||
|
|
------------------------
|
||
|
|
@echo off
|
||
|
|
rem ** change window size to 100 columns, 50 rows.
|
||
|
|
mode CON1 CO100,50
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
rem ** maximize window and make the borders thinner (3 pixel).
|
||
|
|
console -or+ -b3,3
|
||
|
|
rem ** center the window on the desktop. simply calls 'winto.cmd hcenter top',
|
||
|
|
rem ** where winto.cmd is a batch file which comes along with console (see
|
||
|
|
rem ** above).
|
||
|
|
call center
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
cd\utils\golded
|
||
|
|
gedemx.exe
|
||
|
|
------------------------
|
||
|
|
-+--[/golded2.cmd]------
|
||
|
|
------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I use the 14x8-font for my VIO-windows with a graphic resolution of 1024x768.
|
||
|
|
To set the font of textwindows in OS/2 select the system menu of a window,
|
||
|
|
chose 'font size', change it to your needs and then 'save' it. All windows
|
||
|
|
will now use the new size.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In winto.cmd (from console) which is called by center.cmd I made the following
|
||
|
|
settings:
|
||
|
|
------------------------
|
||
|
|
-+--[winto.cmd]---------
|
||
|
|
------------------------
|
||
|
|
[...]
|
||
|
|
/* modify this depending on your settings */
|
||
|
|
ScreenW =3D 1024 /*800*/;
|
||
|
|
ScreenH =3D 742 /*600*/; /*'742' because of WarpCenter*/
|
||
|
|
[...]
|
||
|
|
------------------------
|
||
|
|
-+--[/winto.cmd]--------
|
||
|
|
------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
With this you get a VIO-window which gives me as many informations as it could
|
||
|
|
(100*50=3D5000 characters, 80*25=3D2000 chars) and looks as great as it could.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
All mentioned files can be frequested via FTN on my system at 2:2432/337
|
||
|
|
(V34+, X75).

software. This utility addresses a problem
|
||
|
|
IBM is ignoring since first release of OS/2.
|
||
|
|
The problem is, you can define the default
|

|
|
size and position for *ALL* console win
|

PC/2 is a WPS enhancement or replacement,
|
||
|
|
that features a program
|
||
|
|
launcher, Virtual Desktops, Hotkey support,
|
||
|
|
Sliding focus, Advanced
|
||
|
|
Marking, Dynamic Menu Selection, Environment
|
||
|
|
Spaces, WIN95 key support,
|
||
|
|
QuickSwitch and SessionBar window, Hardware
|
||
|
|
Panning support, TitleBar
|
||
|
|
Smarticons, Lockup and Password protection
|
||
|
|
support, Scheduler, WPS
|
||
|
|
extraction and a Spooler Control Window
|
||
|
|
(which enables spooling even
|
||
|
|
when running PC/2 as a WPS replacement).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Running PC/2 as the WPS replacement can save
|
||
|
|
about 4 MB precious RAM,
|
||
|
|
even on well equipped machines you can
|
||
|
|
notice decreased swapper size
|
||
|
|
and activity giving you a performance boost
|
||
|
|
compared to running the
|
||
|
|
WPS (due to the much smaller memory
|
||
|
|
requirements compared with the WPS).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For those of you who want to know the
|
||
|
|
"tricks" used in PC/2, the full
|
||
|
|
source (requires long filename support) is
|
||
