GETTING STARTED

    SetBuffers is a simple tool for setting the amount of buffers
    for each device in your system. It is a logical extension of
    the addbuffers command.
	
    This tool is designed to be used with KickStart v37.175 or
    greater and WorkBench 2.04+.
	
USAGE

    SetBuffers can be used from either the CLI or from WorkBench. There are
    parameters that can be used to alter the operation of SetBuffers.
    The default configuration is taken when no parameters are entered.

    SETBUFFERS   EDIT/S,USE/S,SAVE/S

    EDIT (default)

    This setting will open up a window for use in editing the buffer
    parameters. (see EDITING)

    SAVE
    
    This option will save the current configuration as an environment
    archive file. Saving the configuration will ensure that you have
    it upon next reset using a standard startup-sequence.

    USE
	
    This option will take the current configuration and perform the
    buffer changes if there are any. Currently, if an error occurs
    when changing a buffer size, it is ignored.


WORKBENCH

    SetBuffers may be used from the WorkBench. Double clicking on the
    program icon will start the program and parse any options the
    user has set. These options are the same as per the CLI.
	
    Placing the icon in the WBStartup drawer on WorkBench would be
    a logical place, but the buffer changes won't be made until this
    time. For a faster startup-sequence the user would be better to
    place a call to SetBuffers in the startup-sequence file just
    before IPrefs, or more legally, in the user-startup file.


EDITING

    The listview gadget in the edit window displays the current filesystem
    devices in your setup. These devices are capable of buffer operation.
    The first value to the right of the device name represents the current
    buffer value assigned to that device. The number after the arrow 
    represents the value you wish to change the buffers to. This value can
    be greater or smaller than the current value.
    
    The value options on the far right in the edit window represent a
    selection of possible values you may want to use. The top option named
    "current", when selected, will cause no change to be made to the
    device buffer. The last option "user" accepts a minimum of 2k and
    only positive values to be entered. You may want to enter a value of
    880 for a complete normal density disk buffer.
    
    A total of the buffer values in shown in a text gadget. This is the
    addition of values preferred for buffering.
    
    After you have selected values and are finished editing, you may;
    
    o Select the CANCEL gadget to ignore selections and exit or,
    o Select "Save Settings" from the setting menu to save your values and/or
    o Select USE to change the buffer settings.
