TOP Copyright (c) 1990-1994 by TNC Technology, All Rights Reserved GTDR The above copyright notice >>must<< remain in the file as the first line! This is the TOP (TM) help facility text file. All help entries in this file are preceded by a topic name which is enclosed in square brackets. The topic name is truncated to a maximum of eight characters. All lines following the topic, up to the next line beginning with a left square bracket, will be displayed. The first help topic, [Help] is reserved for the default help entry. This is the message which will be displayed if help is entered without a topic, or if the requested topic is not found. Topic names can be optionally followed by a version number. If a version number is present, only the highest version will be displayed which is less than or equal to your DOS version. Note: only the first three version characters are recognized, ie. 'major.minor'. Any other char- acters are ignored. Topics are compared with the length of the user's specified entry. This enables a topic to be matched with a substring of characters. For example, if the user entered 'back', this would be matched by the first topic which contained the substring 'back' i.e. 'BACKUP'. The comparison is case insensitive. However, the help frame will include the topic title string exactly as entered in this file (case preserved). Note that this file is parsed at TOP (TM) start up. Edits made to this file will not take effect until TOP is restarted. Use of ASCII characters 0 (NULL), 7 (BELL), 8 (BS), 9 (TAB), 10 (LF), 13 (CR), 26 (^Z), and 27 (ESC) in HELP messages will cause unpredictable results if HELP is called via the command line or redirected to the printer. Their use is therefore not recommended in this file. To display these characters, instead use a \#, where # is the decimal number of the character to be displayed. HELP topics names can only contain valid filename characters. These characters in HELP index sorting order are: ! # $ % & ' ( ) * - . ? 0-9 @ A-Z _ ` a-z { } ~ Within any help message, three attributes can be assigned to text which will alter its appearance when displayed. These attributes are called BOLD, ITALICS, and UNDERLINE. What is actually displayed for these at- tributes is defined in the TOP.INI file. To use them, type a back slash (\) followed by a letter, where the letter can be: b for bold i for italics u for underline p for plain (normal) \ to print a back slash # where # is the decimal number of the character to be displayed (use for control characters, eg. \27) eg. "This is a \bHELP\p entry" would cause the word HELP to be bold, all others to be plain. In general, the \b attribute has been used in this file to indicate key words for which there is help, the \i attribute has been used to indicate important words (but no help is available or required), and the \u attribute is used for titles or other emphasized text. \p ends each attribute. [TOPics] To learn about \bHELP\p, type '\bHELP HELP\p' or bug the \bHELP\p topic with mouse. For DOS's native \bHELP\p type '\bHELP\p /D[OS]'. \bHELP\p is available for the following topics: [!-ASP-!] \u ASP ombudsman \p This program is produced by a member of the Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP). ASP wants to make sure that the shareware principle works for you.

FILES windows are movable, sizable displays of file listings and related information. Now you can have up to three seperate FILES windows open at once, simultaneously looking at the contents of separate drives and directories! Using TOP's unique "drag and drop" mouse interface, you can move or copy files from any FILES window to another. FILES windows also support "tagging," the ability to group otherwise unrelated files together for subsequent copy, move or delete operations. You can even "lasso" files by just sliding the mouse across them! Multiple FILES windows are your complete file management solution! \7 Added Menu Buttons, a quick way to access any \iTOP\p or DOS commands at the click of the mouse! Functions of any complexity can be assigned. But wait--there's more: Using TOP's unique "drag and drop" mouse interface, you don't just get to push buttons, you can actually drop parameters onto buttons. For example, imagine a button called "EDIT" which starts your editor. If you drag and drop a file name to the button, your editor starts with that file! See \bHELP\p for \bwBUTTONS\p \7 Added complete DOS 6.2 functionality and \bHELP\p \7 Added \bANSIECHO\p, an enhanced \bECHO\p command which can use \iANSI\p strings \7 Enhanced TAB search, now include directories. See \b_KEYS\p \7 The CONSOLE window is now included in the shareware version. The CONSOLE window captures all text written to the screen and displays it in a movable, sizable \iTOP\p window!

See \bHELP\p for \bTOPSET\p for more details. \7 Added complete extended screen mode support for Super VGA text modes! See the file 'README.VGA' for more details. \7 The following functions now accept multiple parameters: \bATTRIB\p \bDEL\p \bDIR\p \bERASE\p \bXDEL\p \bXDIR\p For example, ' \bDIR\p *.txt *.doc ' will list all files ending with '.txt' and all files ending with '.doc' \7 The following functions now accept 'enhanced' wildcards: \bATTRIB\p \bCOPY\p \bDEL\p \bDIR\p \bERASE\p \bFOR\p \bMOVE\p \bXDEL\p \bXDIR\p For example, ' \bDIR\p *r*.p* ' will list all files containing an 'r' in the name and starting with 'p' in the extension. See \b_*WILD*\p \7 \bDIR\p has been greatly enhanced! See \bHELP\p for \bDIR\p. \7 Added \iExecutable Wildcards\p. \iExecutable Wildcards\p are user-defined command sequences which can be assigned to a wild card file specification. If a command is typed which matches the wild card specification, the user-defined command sequence is executed. \7 All \iTOP\p window functions now have a pull-down menu for window control. For example, window colors can now be set on the fly via the pull-down. \7 \bALIAS\p and \bFKEY\p definitions can now be read automatically from an external file. The file is automatically updated whenever an alias is changed from the command line. In other words, aliases defined on the fly can now be permanent. \7 Pressing the \i\p key will cycle through an alphabetical list of files in the current directory at the cursor position in the command line (or cycle through a list of matches if the filename is partly typed or typed with a wildcard specification). Pressing \i\p will reverse cycle. \7 A SaveLayout command has been added to the mouse chord menu which saves the current size and position of all the \iTOP\p windows. See \bwCHORD\p \7 The \iFILES\p window is now sizable and moveable, like all other \iTOP\p windows. \7 All \iTOP\p DMTs now support 256 color pcx files and super VGA graphics modes \7 All \iTOP\p DMTs now automatically park the hard drive disk heads \7 \iANSI.SYS\p is no longer required (as it is in DOS) to switch to EGA 43 line or VGA 50 line modes. \7 Negative numbers now mean 'right relative' in windows setups and emulated \iANSI.SYS\p strings. \iBug Fixes\p --------- \7 Added ';' test for separators in \bFOR\p specification loop. \7 Window keyboard 'cursor' functions (CTRL-Pageup...) now reset cron/dmt timout timer. \7 Invalid switches are no longer ignored. \u Release 1.02 \p \iNew Features\p ------------ \7 Added \bNISTIME\p , a utility which dials up the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Automated Computer Time Service (ACTS) and retrieves the time. \7 A new internal memory management architecture was incorporated in this release called \iMOST\p (\iM\pemory \iO\pbject \iS\pwapping \iT\pechnology). \iMOST\p not only speeds up transient code swapping but allows for nearly limitless future expansion. \7 \iTOP\p now reads a registration number from \iTOP.INI\p and validates your registration status. The shareware version of \iTOP\p is therefore identical to the registered version. \7 \iTOP\p no longer sets screen mode and color between commands in a batch file if echo is off. \7 If no token found (all blanks and tabs), the command is no longer put in the history buffer. \7 A DoubleClick on a history window entry will now clear the command line, execute the selected command, then put the old command back. \iBug Fixes\p --------- \7 Fixed a bug which missed pipes when quoted. \7 Repaired 'bad command or file name' message at end of run in batch files containing \\0 and ^Z. \7 Fixed 2 second clock loss when starting up \iTOP\p. \7 Fixed \bVIEW\p window bug when the size of a view file changes length. \7 Added a hash table to speed up \iTOP.INI\p processing. \7 Fixed a bug in \bMOVE\p which prevented file dates from being preserved when moving across drives. \7 \iTOP\p now removes leading spaces off the command line before putting into history buffer. \7 Found Norton's XMS test trashed timer 2, fixed playtune to compensate. \7 Now reset stored history line character position when 'ESC' is pressed. \7 If \iLIST\p is autoclose, it will now reopen again. \7 Can now scroll in \bVIEW\p window if small file, and hit maximize. \u Release 1.01 \p \7 Our first official release to the world! \i:-)\p [!LICENSE] \iTOP\p (tm)\u License Agreement \p \iSee Also:\p \b!REGFORM\p Version 2.10 \iTOP\p (tm) Command Enhancement Utility Written by: Leon C.

Known bugs at this time: \7 Tall Tree JLaser AT-3 RAM card with EMS 3.2 driver cannot be relied on to maintain \iTOP\p's swap information if mode 1 operation is selected. Mode 1 operation makes the memory available as BOTH extended AND expanded and hence can lose data stored in one mode when another application uses the same memory in another mode. Either configure the card for mode 2 operation (EMS only), or set MemoryStrategy=file in \iTOP.INI\p. \7 If \bCHKDSK\p or NORTON DISK DOCTOR recover lost clusters, disk space is not changed. The newly created files will not immediately appear in the \iLIST\p window. Selecting REFRESH from the \iLIST\p window system menu will cause it to be updated. \7 If Norton's NCACHE disk caching utility is loaded using EMS memory prior to running \iTOP\p, and \iTOP\p's memory swapping strategy is also set to EMS, running MS-Windows and then exiting from Windows causes \iTOP\p to abort with "Cannot load TOP (FF), aborting!" This problem has been traced to a bug in the NCACHE utility which corrupts \iTOP\p's EMS swap memory upon exiting Windows. Known work arounds include using a different memory strategy for NCACHE or \iTOP\p (XMS, file), OR loading NCACHE after loading \iTOP\p. \7 Quarterdeck's QEMM386 will not allow \iTOP\p to start if the ST switch (Stealth mode) is used when loading QEMM386. The only known work around at this time is to not use the ST switch. We are currently investigating the problem. \7 Users with high speed modems supporting v.32 and v.42 error cor- rection have reported timeout errors when using \bNISTIME\p. NIST Automated Computer Time Service (ACTS) does not support v.32 and v.42 error correction. If you have a high speed modem with built in hardware error correction you may need to disable it. This can be done by modifying the ModemSetupString in the \i[Nistime]\p section of \iTOP.INI\p. See \bHELP\p for \bNISTIME\p and \bTOPSET\p. You may also need to consult your modem's documentation. \7 \bDOSKEY\p macro definitions will not work when running TOP. Use an \bALIAS\p definition instead. \7 The Novell Netware MAP function may not function as expected under \iTOP\p (or any other shell). The MAP function maps network drives into the search path by modifying the \bPATH\p environment variable in the parent environment, not the environment copy which \iTOP\p is using. This can cause the MAP function to have no effect. One solution is to use the MAP function prior to starting \iTOP\p; another is to change the Environment parameter in the \i[Initialize]\p section of the \iTOP.INI\p file to static, which will cause \iTOP\p to use the parent environment only. See \bHELP\p for \bTOPSET\p to modify the \iTOP.INI\p file. \7 Some versions of \iANSI.SYS\p do not support some extended VGA text modes. If you are experiencing difficulty with an extended text mode, and have \iANSI.SYS\p loaded, try removing \iANSI.SYS\p. If this fixes the problem, but you want to retain \iANSI.SYS\p, we have a special version of \iANSI.SYS\p which recognizes all modes. Please contact \iTNC Technology\p for a copy, or download it from our BBS. \u         \p Several enhancements to \iTOP\p are presently on the drawing board.

However, the most convenient way to control \iTOP.INI\p is by using \iTOP\p's setup tool: \bTOPSET \p. See \bHELP\p for \bTOPSET\p The default \iTOP.INI\p file loaded during installation is completely filled out and commented to enable you to modify \iTOP.INI\p with a minimum of manual consultation; however, the chapter \i"Customization and TOP.INI"\p contains complete instructions and explanations if you get into trouble. There is also a complete \iTOP.INI\p listing in the appendix. By modifying \iTOP.INI\p using \bTOPSET\p, you will be able to change: \7 Your initial \iTOP\p commands (like an autoexec for \iTOP\p). See \i[InitialCommands]\p \7 Typematic rate, Beep pitch, History size, Memory usage, DMT timeout, and other useful startup parameters. See \i[Initialize]\p \7 Video mode and Operating colors. See \i[Video]\p. Also see the \iREADME.VGA\p file in your \iTOP\p directory, and try running \bTOPVIDEO\p \7 The Color palette, when using a color monitor/adapter. See \i[Palette]\p \7 The Analog Monochrome palette, when using an analog monitor with a color adapter. See \i[AnalogMonoPalette]\p \7 The Monochrome palette, when using a monochrome monitor/adapter. See \i[MonochromePalette]\p \7 The window function colors, initial size, initial position, etc. See \i[AliasWindow]\p, \i[FilesWindow]\p, \i[HelpWindow]\p, \i[HistoryWindow]\p, \i[ListWindow]\p, and \i[ViewWindow]\p \7 The mouse responsiveness and click speed. See \i[Mouse]\p \7 The \bCRON\p function job schedule. See \i[Cron]\p \7 Initial user-defined \bALIAS\p definitions. See \i[Alias]\p \7 Initial user-defined function key assignments. See \i[FunctionKeys]\p \7 Assumed com port and time zone for \bNISTIME\p. See \i[Nistime]\p If you are new to computing, you may want to make a copy of your \iTOP.INI\p file before starting so you have a fallback. \u *** ANSWERS TO COMMON SETUP QUESTIONS *** \p How do I change \iTOP\p settings? Almost everything \iTOP\p does is controlled by parameters in the \iTOP.INI\p file. This file can be found in the directory you in- stalled \iTOP\p into (the default directory is \\TOP on drive C:). To change \iTOP.INI\p, you can use a text editor. Much preferred is to use \iTOP\p's interactive setup tool, \bTOPSET\p. \bTOPSET\p is like a custom editor just for \iTOP.INI\p, with complete on line help. To start \bTOPSET\p, change to the \iTOP\p directory and type: c:\top> \bTOPSET\p After a default \iTOP\p installation, \iTOPSET\p can also be started by typing \u\p How do I change the \iTOP\p default colors? How come I can no longer change screen colors? All colors are controlled by modifying the \iTOP.INI\p file. To change the colors used for commands and program output, edit the appropriate color parameters in the \i[Video]\p section. To change the color of a window function, find the appropriate window section in the \iTOP.INI\p file and change the desired parameter to the new color. To change the prompt colors, modify the TOPPROMPT or TOPTIME prompt strings in the \i[InitialCommands]\p section. All colors, except for the \bPROMPT\p, are specified with numbers from 0 to 15. These will correspond to the color entries in the \i[Palette]\p section of \iTOP.INI\p. The default \i[Palette]\p colors are explained by requesting \bHELP\p for \b_COLORS\p. \bPROMPT\p colors follow the \iANSI\p \bPROMPT\p string conventions. For more information, request \bHELP\p for \b_ANSI\p and \bPROMPT\p. How do I know what video mode to choose? Try running \iTOP\p's video setup utility, called \bTOPVIDEO\p. It can show you what video modes are available on your system and demonstrate each one. After you decide which is best for you, \bTOPVIDEO\p can automatically update the \bTOP.INI\p file to reflect your choice. To start \bTOPVIDEO\p, change to the \iTOP\p directory and type: c:\top> \bTOPVIDEO\p After a default \iTOP\p installation, \iTOPVIDEO\p can also be started by typing \u\p How come my PC plays tunes and puts messages on the screen? How can I stop or change it? The tunes and messages are sample \bCRON\p jobs that came with your default setup. They were chosen to illustrate the potential power and convenience of \bCRON\p, but are not in themselves very useful.���� To change or remove the \bCRON\p jobs, edit the \i[Cron]\p section of \iTOP.INI\p. As with any entry in \iTOP.INI\p, you can place a \i#\p symbol as the first character on a line to comment the line out (disable it without deleting it). Why does my screen keep coming back to the same text? How come sometimes my screen text is not restored? If RestoreScreen is set to yes in the \i[Initialize]\p section of \iTOP.INI\p, screen text will automatically be restored after running any program whenever \iTOP\p detects that the video mode was changed (this is the default setting). However, if the video mode was not changed, the screen will not be restored. To temporarily change whether or not \iTOP\p will restore the screen, use the \bREFRESH\p function. To restore the screen even though the mode has not changed (for example, if your program clears the screen but leaves the mode intact), include the command: \bREFRESH\p FORCE as the last line of an alias or batch file which starts your program. This will have the same effect on \iTOP\p as changing the mode without actually changing it. To inhibit the screen restore even though the mode has changed, include the command: \bREFRESH\p CANCEL If you do not ever want the screen text restored, set RestoreScreen to no. In that case, \iTOP\p will not save the screen text before executing a program and the \bREFRESH\p function will be ignored. How can I close/move/size/re-open/maximize the function windows? Note: most function windows are only available to mouse users in the present version. The windows can be closed by \iLEFT-2CLICKING\p on the little square in the upper left corner that looks like this: \i[�]\p. To move a window, press and hold the \iLEFT\p mouse button on the title bar of the window and move the window to the desired location. To resize the window, press and hold the \iLEFT\p mouse button on any edge or corner of the window, and stretch to the desired size. A window can be maximized (sized to the maximum screen size), by LEFT-CLICKING on the little up and down arrow in the upper right corner that looks like this: \i[\18]\p. Clicking again on the maximize button restores the window to the previous size. To re-open a window, select it from the \iCHORD\p menu (press both buttons and release on the desired selection). \iSee Also\p \bHELP\p for \bwALIAS\p, \bwFILES\p, \bwHELP\p, \bwHISTORY\p, \bwLIST\p, \bwVIEW\p, \bwMOUSE\p and \b_KEYS\p to learn more. To change the initial size or position of a window function, or the initial state (visible or invisible), edit the app- ropriate section for that window in \iTOP.INI\p. Why does my DMT or screen saver go away when I move something on my desk? The DMT programs supplied with \iTOP\p can be stopped by pressing any key on the keyboard, or by pressing a mouse button, or by moving the mouse. Probably you moved the mouse when you moved something else. If you wish to disable this feature, modify the TOPDMT environment variable (defined in the \i[InitialCommands]\p section of \iTOP.INI\p) to include the switch -m, which will disable sensitivity to mouse movement. How do I disable the DMT or screen saver? To disable the DMT, remove the environment variable TOPDMT (defined in the [InitialCommands] section of TOP.INI). If you want to disable the DMT only for this session, you would type: c:\>set topdmt= If the you have a question that wasn't answered above, remember that nearly everything is controlled by \bTOPSET\p and \iTOP.INI\p.!

The default value is ON memory specifies the maximum amount of extended memory (in kilobytes) that you want used as EMS memory, in addition to the memory used for UMBs and \bEMM386\p itself. The default value is the amount of free extended memory. If you specify the NOEMS switch, the default value is 0. \bEMM386\p rounds the value down to the nearest multiple of 16 MIN=size specifies the minimum amount of EMS memory (in kilo- bytes) that \bEMM386\p will provide, if available. The minimum memory is reserved when \bEMM386\p is loaded. The default value is 256. If you specify the NOEMS switch, the default value is 0. size cannot exceed the amount specified by memory (above) W=ON|W=OFF enables or disables support for the Weitek coprocessor. The default setting is W=OFF Mx specifies the address of the page frame. Valid values for x are in the range 1 through 14. The base addresses for each page frame are: 1 C000h 4 CC00h 7 D800h 10 8000h 13 8C00h 2 C400h 5 D000h 8 DC00h 11 8400h 14 9000h 3 C800h 6 D400h 9 E000h 12 8800h Values 10-14 should be used only on computers that have 512K of memory FRAME=address specifies the page frame base address. Valid addresses are the same as in the Mx table above. To provide EMS but disable the page frame, specify FRAME=NONE (but this may cause some programs to work improperly) /Pmmmm specifies the address of the page frame. Valid addresses are the same as in the Mx table above Pn=address specifies the segment address of page n. Valid values for n are 0-255, and valid addresses are the same as in the Mx table above. The addresses for pages 0 through 3 must be contiguous in order to maintain compatibility with LIM 3.2 EMS. If you use Mx, FRAME, or /Pmmmm, you cannot specify the addresses for pages 0 through 3 with this switch X=mmmm-nnnn excludes a particular range of segment addresses for an EMS page or UMBs The X switch takes precedence over the I switch if the two ranges overlap I=mmmm-nnnn forces a range of segment addresses to be included as EMS pages or UMBs. The X switch takes precedence over the I switch if the two ranges overlap B=address specifies the lowest segment address available for EMS "banking" (swapping of 16-kilobyte pages). Valid values are 1000h-4000h. The default value is 4000h l=minXMS ensures that minXMS amount (in kilobytes) of extended memory will still be available after \bEMM386\p is loaded. The default value is 0 A=altregs specifies how many fast alternate register sets (used for multitasking) you want to allocate. Valid values are 0-254. The default value is 7. Every alternate register set requires an additional ~200 bytes of memory H=handles specifies how many EMS handles to use. Valid values are 2-255. The default value is 64 D=nnn reserves nnn kilobytes of memory for buffered direct memory access (DMA). Valid values are 16-256. The default value is 16 RAM=mmmm-nnnn specifies a range of segment addresses to be used for UMBs and also enables EMS support. If the range is not specified, all available space is used NOEMS provides access to the upper memory area (UMB) without EMS support NOVCPI disables support for VCPI applications. This switch must be used with the NOEMS switch HIGHSCAN causes an additional check to determine the availablity of upper memory for use as UMBs or EMS windows. On some computers, specifying this switch may have no effect, or misinterpret areas as available when they are not, causing your computer to hang VERBOSE causes display of status and error messages while loading WIN=mmmm-nnnn reserves a range of segment addresses for MS-Windows. Valid values A000h-FFFFh. The X switch takes precedence over the WIN switch if the two ranges overlap. The WIN switch takes precedence over the RAM, ROM, and I switches if their ranges overlap NOHI prevents loading into the upper memory area thereby using more conventional memory but increasing available memory for UMBs ROM=mmmm-nnnn specifies a range of segment addresses used for shadow RAM Valid values are A000h-FFFFh. Using ROM may speed up your system if it does not have shadow RAM NOMOVEXBDA disables moving the extended BIOS data from conventional memory to upper memory ALTBOOT causes use of an alternate handler to boot your computer when you press CTRL+ALT+DEL.

monochrome \u Handling Programs Lacking VGA Support \p Amazingly, even though VGA extended modes have been around a fairly long time, there are still a lot of applications around that do not take advantage of them. Many older programs even have the same problem as DOS in that they ASSUME your screen is in a 25 line text mode, and when they start up, they do not verify or set it! To help you solve this problem, \iTOP\p includes a fast video mode setting utility, called \bVIDEO\p, which you can use to quickly set the mode prior to running these programs. Since \iTOP\p always restores the mode after any program is run, you must include the \bVIDEO\p command in a compound command, alias, fkey, or batch file. For example, suppose you find your favorite editor only seems to work in a 25 line mode. You might type: c:\>video co80 ^ editor Or you could define an alias, called ed: c:\>alias ed video co80^editor %* and always start your editor using the alias. \u Extended VGA Support and MS-Windows (tm) \p Unfortunately, if running \iTOP\p under MS-Windows, a limitation in MS Windows may prevent your VGA monitor and adapter from being switched to any mode other than the "standard" VGA modes, ie. 80 columns by 25, 43, or 50 rows. This applies to any DOS program running under MS-Windows, including \iTOP\p, when operating in 386 enhanced or standard mode. If you have specified an extended VGA mode in your \iTOP\p.INI file, and then start \iTOP\p under Windows, \iTOP\p will inform you if you are unable to set the requested video mode. We are presently searching for workarounds to this problem.

Wildcards are special characters which act as a substitute for other characters in a filename or extension. There are two such characters: \7 The \i*\p character represents any number of characters, in- cluding NO characters, one character, two characters, etc. \7 The \i?\p character represents exactly ONE character However, DOS only recognizes one \i*\p in the filename, and one in the extension. Any characters typed after the \i*\p are ignored. This can lead to unexpected results. Luckily, \iTOP\p functions now accept 'enhanced' wildcards. Enhanced wildcards are considerably more flexible than DOS wildcards and do not have the limitations described above. For example: \bDIR\p \i*\pr\i*\p.\i*\p Will list all files containing an 'r' anywhere in the name in the current directory. In contrast, given the example above, DOS would ignore the filename characters after the first \i*\p and therefore list ALL files.
