Note for users not using the reatogo setup:
The plugin depends on certain files to be in the PEbuilder root.
Download Getting_Started.exe and run it in your folder "plugin". This will put those depends into your setup and then present you with the list of all available autoHelp plugins, including this one.

Thanks for your plugin, Nikky!

From what you had in the code, I think that you wanted to start the prog on ramdrive, using parameter "/w" and icon no. 1.

The changes I made will do that. I edited your post to this and also attached the revised version to your post.

Please check it out and if it is what you wanted, we´ll upload and add it to the list right away!

Sorry for misunderstanding, /w switch is not needed. For XPE-Reatogo env. ReaLoader is enough. For Nu2Menu env. We can use cmd to start. So my suggestion of files is:

autoHelp_siw.cmd

Another adds prg. internally have pcidevs.txt witch is actual. When it become old just add actual pcidevs.txt with prg. in same folder. PCIDEVS can find here.

Nikky,
The ram option is nice but it has the problem that if Nu2 users run the CD on a real system, it will not start the program but only display the loader definition text file.

I Nu2 is enabled always use "cmd" to run the prog on the ramdrive.

From your original post I took it that you want to start with a switch and a special icon. If that is not the case, it is just a simple case of a single-exe prog to run on ramdrive.

Now you mention, that "pcidevs.txt" is needed with the latest defs.

That is done with an "Update_Plugin.cmd" in the plugin (update the plugin before build)
and with "update.cmd" on CD (download latest defs when booted with CD).

Both is implemented in the attached version.

Let me know, if it does everything you want, so I can finally upload your new plugin.

Yes, everything is now ok. PCIDEVS.txt is not needed, it’s incorporated in prg. I only suggested it can be added later. So just rem:
:: %GET% DOWNLOAD "exe" "" "" "http://members.datafast.net.au/dft0802/downloads/pcidevs.txt"

He Nikky,
why do you mention PCIDEVS.txt if it is not needed?

Please let us stop confusing the issue.

If it is not needed, just don´t mention it in the first place.
If it is needed once the original download of the EXE is outdated then the plugin as I made the last version is what the function requires and what should go online.

Siegfried

Edit: this whould supress the download of the defs file during the original download.
Update run will later add it.

More confused than angry, Nikky!

I tried to make it the way you want it, but had problems figuring out what you want!

What do you think about the compromize presented in the edit above. I think that adds the function but still keeps the original size down.
