This file, if exists, is read by
vche to set the program flags. If it does not exist, the flags will
be set to their default (all off), and no warnings will be issued.
Example config file:
# VCHE Config file
#
# Note: '#' are comments
#
# Be careful not to set "readonly" and "edit" flags to "on" at
# the same time.
#
# Enable bell
bell=on
# Start in view mode
edit=off
# Don't mask non-printable characters
mask=off
# Mask zero bytes
zero=on
# Show the hex segment
nohex=off
# Enable read-write
readonly=off
This file could be located at
/deb/vche/vche-1.7.2/debian/vche/etc/vche.conf
by default.
FLAGS
There are six flags, you could see them at the top of the
screen as a set of six letters, you know when they are set
when one of them is red.
"bell=[on|off]"
When set you will hear a beep when you do some illegal action.
"mask=[on|off]"
This flag "masks" control and extended ascii characters, showing
a "." instead. This flag has no meaning in the
vche-raw
and
vche-nc
versions, since they can not show all the 256 characters.
"edit=[on|off]"
This flag is set when you are editing the file.
"zero=[on|off]"
This (as the mask flag) only works with the virtual console
version of VCHE, it shows a dot (".") instead of the ASCII zero, this is
useful when spaces and zeros confuse you, because they look the same in
the character ROM.
"nohex=[on|off]"
Clear the hex segment. Sometimes it is useful to see only the offset and
the ASCII bytes without seeing the bytes values in hex, it allows us to
view a file more easily.
"readonly=[on|off]"
When set any file viewed will be opened readonly. The program also
set this flag to "on" (even if you set it off), when a file cannot
be opened read/write. When the file that we want to edit is being
executed by another process this flag is also set to "on", this
usually happens with the shell (which is of course always running).
