WARPMOD
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 The WarpMod utility allows quick and easy fine-tuning of overlaid or 
 nonoverlaid .EXE programs (that were created with WarpLink) without 
 re-linking.  This is especially helpful when adjustments must be made
 while running a program at a location other than your development machine.


 WarpMod Format

 WarpMod is very simple to use, and employs a command syntax very similar to
 WarpLink.  

    WARPMOD [program file] [command options]


 Using WarpMod

 WarpMod will prompt you for the program file name if none is supplied.
 Modifiable environmental and overlay manager parameters from the target
 file are displayed and may be modified.  In addition, your program's
 original date and time-stamp may be preserved, even if you modify the
 program settings.

 While running WarpMod, overlay manager options will only be displayed if
 WarpMod detects that overlays were used in the program.  WarpMod will only
 display and allow modification of the /as and /st options for nonoverlaid
 programs.

 WarpMod allows you to make interactive changes and supports quick keys and
 cursor movement keys.  WarpMod highlights the field to be modified and 
 displays a one-line description of the option selected at the bottom of the
 screen.

 WarpMod also accepts command line arguments, bypassing interactive mode to
 allow batch or simple changes.  You can precede an option with slash /
 or minus - sign or forego these symbols.  Use a trailing plus + sign to
 turn on an option.  Use a trailing minus - sign to turn off an option.  

 Do not change the /ol or /os settings unless you are absolutely sure of the
 need to modify them.  The default settings should be maintained in almost 
 all cases.

 WarpMod Example

 WARPMOD PROGRAM.EXE -D OP:32 /ORT- ORP+ /OX:A=B ST:3334 -OHP:0 OU OHT:-512

 In the example above, WarpMod:

    .  Preserves the original date of the EXE file,
    .  Gives an overlay pool size of 32K,
    .  Turns off the /ort option,
    .  Turns on the /orp option,
    .  Turns on the /ox option with environment variable A=B
    .  Sets the stack to 3334 bytes,
    .  Turns off the /ohp option,
    .  Turns on the /ou option, and
    .  Turns on the /oht option with a value of -512

 WarpMod also supports a /mono option.  
 Use /mono to allow use of WarpMod with monochrome monitors.

 Distribution Note:

 Unlike the other WarpLink utilities and files, WarpMod may be freely
 distributed to others in order to allow them to make their own
 modifications "in the field."

 Technical Note:

 Do not use WarpMod on WARPMOD.EXE.  The overlay file signature is contained
 in WarpMod even though WarpMod is not overlaid.  Using  WarpMod on itself
 will confuse the WarpMod program.
