"Could you instead upload a patch that could be cut
and pasted into the .ini file with the exact location specified by you in the
description. I assume you could find a place in the .ini that it can be
inserted that would be the same on every machine."
I thought that I had specified this in an earlier message -- all the the changes take place in the [file manger] section of the GEOS.INI. (If the [file manager] section doesn't exist, create one.) Of course, I can't specify an exact position because everyone's GEOS.INI will be different depending on their previously selected options, programs previously run, and any previous GEOS.INI edits that they may have attempted.
I've uploaded three versions of an enhanced GEOS.INI "seed" and a batch file to install them. The first INI enables launching any dos executable and associates *.ZIP with PKUNZJR.COM. The second provides the functionaltiy of the first, and adds the option to enter command line parameters when launching a dos binary. The third provides the functionality of the first two and also reassigns the World Clock hardicon to the File Manager.
The batch file to load them will create the expected subdirectory for PKUNZJR.COM and copy the file there. It will also backup the existing GEOS.INI to GEOS.OLD and overwrite the existing GEOS.INI with the enhanced GEOS.INI seed. When users reboot their Zoomer, they'll be prompted to re-enter their preferences.
I'm not happy with the brute force method of installing the new INI. Given the available tools, it's the best that I can do. Perhaps someone with the SDK can whip up something with a little more finess. On the other hand, where are those IZL file functions when you need them?
