This is the instruction file for switching between the 5.25
Parameter Files on the new version, 9, of Copy II Plus.

I am in no way connected with Central Point Software and my
little BASIC routine has not been reviewed by them nor will
I bother to submit it to them. CPS is welcome to download
the file and offer its opinion.

ParmSwitch is offered gratis, and is hereby public domain
property. If you wish to distribute it or give it away I
only ask that you include this file Read.Me with the BASIC
routine STARTUP.

If you feel so moved to offer me tens of thousands of
dollars for my work please feel free to send it; I will not
be offended.

CPS sent, with the 9.0 package, an addendum entitled 5.25"
Parm List, and it draws one's attention to two sets of
Parameter files for 5.25 bit copying. There were too many
parameters to fit into one file and to access all of the
parameters CPS offers explicit directions on how to rename
the files so that C2P can use them. What I have done is
written their instructions into a BASIC routine so that you
can access both sets of files automatically. (N.B.: the
filenames on the addendum are slightly different from the
filenames on the disk.)

ParmSwitch takes advantage of the new Applications feature
that allows you to select the next program to run upon
quitting C2P; when you quit that 'next' program you are
returned to C2P. Because Applications will only run SYS
files I wrote ParmSwitch so that you will launch
Basic.System which run Startup in turn.

There are several things you must do before utilizing
ParmSwitch.

1. Put a copy of Basic.System into the folder with C2P and
its parameter files.

2. Make certain there is not already a file named Startup in
the C2P folder. If there is I don't know what to tell you.

3. Copy my file Startup to the C2P folder.

4. Select Edit Applications from the main menu.

5. Select New.

6. Choose an appropriate name for the Applications menu.

7. Choose an appropriate command letter for the Applications
menu.

8. Set application prefix to your C2P folder, eg,
/Volume/C2P.

9. Set application pathname to Basic.System.

10. Review your settings.

11. Save your application.

12. Exit the Edit menu.

Now when you select Applications ParmSwitch will show up on
the menu. When you select it Basic.System will be launched,
Startup will run, exchange the parameter filenames and then
quit back to C2P.

What you cannot do is run Basic.System from the same folder 
that contains the ParmSwitch Startup file. If you want to run
Basic.System then it must be in a different folder.

You're done.
