                QL Winchester Information and Rename Console


Qwirc is designed to help managing your WIN drives. You can get a quick
overview of which drives are available and how the space on them is used.
You can also change their internal names, and easily swap QXL files in
and out of WIN slots.

For QPC2 V5.xx, SMSQmulator V3.01+ (Earlier versions work but may cause
problems in certain circumstances. See the Manual!) Also, as an
afterthought, Q68, with slightly reduced functionality (no DOX).

Make sure you have recent versions of Qlib_run and EasyPtr's ptrmen_cde
loaded.

Unzip the archive to a suitable location, eg win1_util_. Unzip wil create
a new sub directory under that location called win1_util_qwc_

Start the program by EXecuting ..qwc_Qwirc_obj. What you should then see is
the Main Menu, listing all the WIN drives currently active. Press a number
between 1 and 8, or HIT the name of the desired drive. This brings you to
the Info Menu where you can see some further stats on the drive and see
the file name of the underlying QXL file.

DO or press ENTER on the file name line in the Info Menu to edit it to the
name of a different QXL file. Once a name has been entered it is stored in
the MRU list so on the next occasion the same name can be re-entered with
just a few clicks.

HITing the file name in the Info Menu brings up the MRU list. Initially it
is populated with the names of files currently attached. As more names are
added the list grows, with the least frequently used items gravitating
towards the bottom of the list and eventually dropping off.

You can now also press F3 to call up the DOX file selector.

Clicking the $ (in mode 0) or the coloured bar item (top left hand corner)
brings up the Stats Menu, which gives a numerical and graphical display of
the disk's usage. DO its Title Bar or press ESC to exit the Stats Menu.

Press ESC or DO the Title Bar to exit the Info Menu.

In the Main Menu, DOing a device name allows you to edit the name,
(provided there is an underlying disk and no other files are open on it).

A name can be up to 20 characters long. However, only more recent versions
of SMSQ/E (V3.36+) can display this. Older programs and SMSQ/E versions
will only display the first 10 characters - in some cases only up to the
first space in the name.

If you decide to add Qwirc to a Hotkey or wish to add it to your Qascade
menu (and with some older file managers) you will need to configure its
Home Directory, ie the name of the directory from which Qwirc is executed.
You do this with the standard Qjump Config program or JMS'es MenuConfig.

All other configurations are done in Qwirc's own configuration file,
qwirc_cfg. See the Qwirc Manual for details if needed.

To exit Qwirc in the Main Menu press ESC or click the eXit button (top
right hand corner).

Let me know how you get on! Im on QL Forum as pjw.
