ConfigTool 1.3.0

[Adrian]

Hi,

I love ConfigTool for explanations about config.sys statements.
The program is a bit outdated.
But, on several websites OS/2 related, is enough information to find about those rules in ConfigTool which are not explained.
Is there a tool to update the database from this program?
Then I would give it a try.

Gras,
Adrian

Code: [Select]

H:\tmp\configtool>file CFGTOOL.DAT
CFGTOOL.DAT: OS/2 INI

Opens fine in the Registry Editor, using File-->Open Profile and changing the default from *.ini to *.dat. Right click on an entry and choose Modify to see the text.
There's a few INI editors on Hobbes that would likely be more useful then the Registry Editor as the data can be large.
If you're ambitious, the help could use updating. Walter, the author, moved on long ago.

The help is more useful to me that the tool/database. It is a great store of OS/2 information about Config.Sys.

Thanks Dave for the explanation.
I also had to take a look at the help file, comment from Neil.
But, I wil give it a try.

I was wrong about Walter being the author, his was the first name I saw. There's dead links to OS2World that maybe Martin can help with, especially the stuff to help with NLS. The license seems a bit weird too, see the end of the help.
Would be good if you can update the DAT file at least.
