I tried to respond to a question posted here about the desktop.inf file. Unfortunately, the mailer could find "inmet." Here is the core of my reply: In article <30200017@inmet> you write: > >Along the same lines, can someone tell me where I can find the info to >decode the desktop.inf file ? What do all of those number mean ? > Haynes, McKendre. "Customizing the GEM Desktop." Compute!'s Atari ST Disk and Magazine, April 1987, pp. 36,42. The numbers are hexadecimal and are bit settings for a variety of stuff ranging from the RS-232 port to what applications are installed. I also have a utility that modifies the icons but I don't remember which magazine it came from. Hope this puts you on the right track if you weren't already. -- Craig E.
