Details Reply

from todo.ama: "and user should be able to define local preferences through an easy-to-use wizard during install time"

Could also be used to configure SvarDOS language, keyboard layout and codepage.

It would be a bonus, if the user could also configure his/her system after installation. So, make it a separate tool and just call it from install.exe.

Applying new settings to existing and probably modified by the user CONFIG.SYS/AUTOEXEC.BAT is not easy, when there is more than configuration in the files.

The program should analyze current configs and then present a dialog to the user:

Apply new settings to:

[ ] common config block
[ ] config #1 "foo"
[ ] config #2 "bar"

[Select all]  [Deselect all]  [OK]  [Cancel]

alt.: export the new configuration lines to a separate file, so the user can play with them

Forget that "analyze current configs and then present a dialog to the user" thingy.

"export the new configuration lines to a separate file, so the user can play with them" is enough. Let's don't over-engineer. ;-)
