First give the program the filename of the configuration file, either by hitting the filename item, and then editing it, or by doing the filename item and selecting the filename from the standard file selector. The file must have the line "% configuration file for ProWesS" as its very first line if it is a ProWesS file, or "; PROforma, PROGS Font & Raster Manager, fontmap config file" if it is a PROforma file, else it will not be recognized as a valid Configuration file, and the program refuses to load it.
The program automatically recognises whether it is a ProWesS or PROforma configuration file, and the item top left reflects that.
The configuration files are normally found in the "mine" subdirectory of ProWesS (e.g. win1_pws_mine_ProWesS_cfg).
Every line in the file -including comments- is displayed. You can edit each line in turn, except for empty lines, which cannot be edited at all. As soon as you have edited a line, this is passed on to the ProWesS or PROforma internal configurator, for the change to take effect immediately. You can also save the file back, overwriting the older file without any sort of confirmation request.
If you want to get rid of an option altogether, the best way to achieve this is to add a semicolon in front. This way, the option stays in the file and can be reactivated later, but is not taken into account by the ProWesS and PROforma internal configurators.
The "Add" item lets you add a new line to the file. There cannot be more than 200 lines.
This program was written with the ProWesS SBasic Interface, and then compiled with QLiberator. There are two versions on the disk - with and without the QLiberator runtimes.
