Windows.  These customers will already have BOOKMGR.EXE 
on their system.  This tool will update the user's
READWIN.INI file. 

READIBM1.EXE should be used by customer running Library 
Reader for Windows. These customers will already have

the user's READIBMW.INI file. 


WHEN THIS SHOULD BE USED

path in their .INI file before invoking the READ product.

The small tool will change the value of the Startup 
path for the bookshelves and books in the .INI file (READWIN.INI
or READIBMW.INI), and then call the READ product (BOOKMGR.EXE
or READIBM.EXE).


HOW TO RUN
----------
User's can run this small tool by either:
  - Creating an icon in the Windows' Program Manager 
    that calls this program, passing the needed parameters.
  - Run the program from the Program Manager's FILE-
    RUN dialog box. 
 


COMMAND LINE PARAMETERS
-----------------------
You can pass this small tool, any parameters the READ product
supports;  if you pass anything in addition to the two listed
below, the small tool will pass them on to the READ product.


Passing in a path: 
You can pass in a path if you use the  /np= option.
For example, 
   BOOKMGR1 /np=j:\mvs1\books;j:\mvs1\shelves;
will change the 'startup path for books and bookshelves'
in the READWIN.INI file to be j:\mvs1\books;j:\mvs1\shelves;
and then it will call the BOOKMGR, which will show you the list of
bookshelves that exist in the paths j:\mvs1\books and j:\mvs1\shelves.



Passing in a file name:
Windows has a command line limit of 128 characters.  If you would 
like to specify a path that is greater than 128 characters, you
may specify a file that contains a path using the  /fp=  option.

For example, 
   BOOKMGR1 /fp=c:\files\newpath.txt
where the contents of the c:\files\newpath.txt file is: 
   j:\mvs1\books;j:\mvs1\shelves;

will open the file c:\files\newpath.txt, and read the first 
255 characters of the file, and change the 'startup path for
books and bookshelves' in the READWIN.INI file to be the 
characters that were read. It will then call BOOKMGR.EXE.

The paths in the file should all be on the same line (no carriage
returns or line feeds should be in the file).
If it doesn't exist, the  /fp= parameter is ignored (no changes
will be made to the .INI file).
If the file contains greater than 255 characters, characters
after 255 will be ignored.

You should use either /fp= OR /np=, but not both.  If you use both, 
the last one specified is what will be used to udpate the .INI file.


It is recommended that you place this small tool in the same 
directory as the READ product.
