Okay all you AREV customization gurus,

We are creating a new application under our current sytem. It will be a training system that mimics the productions system. All of the system files are in one directory (we'll call it f:\arev\).

Our production system is in one subdirectory, f:\arev\product\, and I have created a new subdirectory, f:\arev\train, that will hold the data files for the training app.

Here's my question. The AREV exe and the AREVC.INI file are obviously both in f:\arev\. I want the screen to be radically different in appearance between production and training. I've already modified the backdrop character for the training environment, but I would also like to change the color scheme. The only problem is, when I do, it changes for both apps. They are sharing the ini file.

How do I create a separate ini file for each environment/app? About the only thing I can think of is to make a backup of my current ini file, the modify it for my training settings, back that one up and name them differently, such as product.ini and train.ini. Then, in the batch file that launches the application, determine which ini file is needed and copy it to arevc.ini so those settings will be in effect.

I am hoping there is an easier way.

If you have any ideas, please let me know.

BTW, system is AREV 3.12 running on Novell 3.12.

Can you not create an arevT.ini (for training) that can be used in a batch file that sets the environment to use it during a training session and then resets it for production on the way out?

SET AREV=AREVT.ini

cd ……

Arev Train /x /m4096

SET AREV=AREVC.ini

Curt,

Worked like a champ.

THANKS!!!!
