The Online Help file for COPS
COPS is a server for control panel extensions (CPX) found with many
recent Atari applications. COPS is a replacement for the original
XCONTROL.ACC which is included in more recent TOS versions.
COPS has the following features:
- You can simultaneously display as many CPX modules as there
are.
- COPS remembers the position of each individual CPX module.
- CPX modules can have larger windows - COPS adjusts window
sizes to suit the resource.
- COPS supports long file names: CPX modules can, for
example, be loaded from a folder named "Control Panels". Spaces
can be used in folder and file names ("MagiC
configuration.cpx"). (*)
- Low Memory requirements.
- COPS runs on 68040 processors (with copyback cache switched
on) or on any processors with relatively large code and data
caches (e.g. 68k emulation on PowerPC computers).
(*) Please note that standard or alternative desktops may not support
space characters in file names ( MAGXDESK does, EASE doesn't).
