Re: [Freedos-devel] System Configuration Editor

[JAYDEN C. <jch...@cp...>]

Editing configuration files is pretty straight forward when it comes to
DOS,but,a GUI is nice.For syntax highlighting,I would do the following:
Have a few default structures.Like "<function>=[option]" or <function>
<command> [options]
So when the user (I am not sure how your program works,so bear with me)
types a FDCONFIG.SYS line,the program changes the text colors corresponding
with the different values.The general syntax for FDCONFIG.SYS is
 "<function>=[option]".As for editing the AUTOEXEC.BAT file,it is basically
a batch file,save the fact that it runs at the start.So if the user types
"LH <program/exectuable",the function (LH) should be a specific color,and
the option (executable) should be another.It is a matter of changing the
colors of preset functions,using a general syntax.I hope this helps,as I
have not programmed FreeDOS in at least a month/month and a half now.
