COA (VERSION 1.0) Copyright (c) 1995, Neil J. Rubenking ------------------------------------------------------------------------ First Published in PC Magazine June 13, 1995 (Utilities) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ COA by Neil J. Rubenking PURPOSE: COA lets you send change-of-address notices to Windows when you change the location of a Windows program on your system. It can be used to update your .INI files, .GRP files, and registration database automatically, or you can use the built-in .INI and .GRP file editors to make changes manually. USAGE: To install COA, simply copy the program files COA.EXE and COA.HLP to a directory on your hard disk, and then use Program Manager to add an icon for COA. COA is flexible, but the simplest way to change the address of a program is to start with the Find and Replace window. Type the old address on the Find What line and type the new address on the Replace With line. Go to the File List window and press the Plus speed button to select which .INI and .GRP files to modify. Then press the DO IT button in the Find and Replace window. COA will automatically update your registration database and the .INI and .GRP files you have selected. COA also contains viewers to help in selecting .GRP and .INI files for processing, and editors for making manual changes to .GRP and .INI files. You can obtain on-line help at any time by pressing the F1 key. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Neil J.
