HERMES' DU-HERMES  (Version 2.0)


                              (November 27, 1987)

   
                              (Shareware Program)
     
     This is a major revision of the DU-HERMES program.

     NEW FUNCTIONS: (You need the STACK command in your "c" directory)

     MACRO-CONFIGURABLE GADGETS:  The second page in the program is entirely
user-configurable.  Each gadget on that page can be configured so that
when you click on it once it executes a sequence of up to 7 commands.  These
commands reside in the file HERMES.file (see details below).

     A CONTINUOUSLY RUNNING CLOCK:  This clock is in the attached
MODULE file which resides in your current "c" directory.  The clock commu-
nicates with DU-HERMES via a port.  When DU-HERMES is clicked off, it
sends a message to the port.  The clock receives it and closes itself
down.

     RAM:  I have added another little window on top of the screen that
gives you the RAM:.

     MEMORY:  This is another MENU entry that gives you separately the
FAST MEMORY, the CHIP MEMORY and the AVAILABLE MEMORY.

     READ: I have written my own ASCII reading program that uses the
custom window and the console device instead of stdout and WBench.  I
think it is very nice.  I might even expand it to a full-featured editor.

     INFO: This command is in the MENU and gives you the INFO command, but
without the rather disturbibg "Volumes Mounted" at its tail!

     I have deleted the copiers (DISKCOPY & FORMAT) because they are two
slow when done on DirUtils.  


OPERATION: USE ONLY FROM CLI.

     1) Put the file MODULE in your current "c" directory.  The file 
HERMES.file resides in the current directory along with DU-HERMES.  You
can trivially make this better:  

     1a) ZAP DU-HERMES (using FILEZAP) and change the THIRD occurence of
HERMES.file to ANY DIRECTORY you please.  You have 30 spaces to do that.
     For example, if you want HERMES.file in DF0:c, ZAP DU-HERMES, look
for the third occurence of HERMES.file and change that string to:
"DF0:c/HERMES.file".

     If you do 1a), then you can place DU-HERMES in your "c" directory
and run it by pressing: RUN DU-HERMES.

     2) To prepare your own command sequences, remember the following:

     2a) HERMES.file starts always with an empty line and finishes with
an empty line.  Each gadget name contains exaclty 10 characters.  This
includes the quote (") at the end of the name of the gadget.  Center your
custom gadget name as much as possible.  Your gadget name can of course have
up to 9 characters that will appear on the second page of gadgets.  

     2b) Right after each custom gadget name you put your own commands. 
Eache line will contain ONLY ONE COMMAND.  Do not string them together! 
You can afford up to 7 commands under each gadget name.  However, only the
first command can contain the "cd" command in it.  I did it this way, so
that the program does not have to look for "cd" all the time and slow
down.  You can change ALL 21 gadgets of Page 2. At the
end of the sequence of commands under a gadget you MUST HAVE AN EMPTY
LINE.

     THIS IS A SHAREWARE PROGRAM.

      DUHERMES.DOC (Previous Version)

      1)  Use only from CLI.

      2)  MAKEDIR, RENAME, ARC need your input of files in the 
"C" GADGET, while the COPY command copies into the path of the "D" 
(destination) gadget.

      3)  The redirection output of LISTARC, UNARC and ARC comes to you
in a separate window on the custom screen.

      4)  The RUN command will run some programs on the Workbench.  You
would have to press CTRL-N in order to work on them. Press CTRL-M to
come back.

      I would like to thank all those known and anonymous authors of
public domain DirUtil programs.  Thanks also to my friend Jeff L. White
for his patience and support.

      Enjoy!!!!
