The Builder is delivered with the following files.
File Purpose
AM831CM .EXE AMX Configuration Manager (utility program)
AM831CM .CNT AMX Configuration Manager Help Content File
AM831CM .HLP AMX Configuration Manager Help File

When AMX is installed on your hard disk, the AMX Configuration Manager for
Windows utility program and its related files are stored in directory CFGBLDW in your
AMX installation directory. To start the Configuration Manager, double click on its
filename, AM831CM.EXE. Alternatively, you can create a Windows shortcut to the
manager's filename and then simply double click the shortcut's icon.
To create a new User Parameter File, select New User Parameter File from the File menu.
The Configuration Manager will create a new, as yet unnamed, file using its default
AMX configuration parameters. When you have finished defining or editing your system
configuration, select Save As... from the File menu. The Configuration Manager will save
your User Parameter File in the location which you identify using the filename which you
provide.
To open an existing User Parameter File, say SYSCFG.UP, select Open... from the File
menu and enter the file's name and location or browse to find the file. When you have
finished defining or editing your system configuration, select Save from the File menu.
The Configuration Manager will rename your original User Parameter File to be
SYSCFG.BAK and create an updated version of the file called SYSCFG.UP.
To direct the Configuration Manager to use its Configuration Generator utility to produce
an updated copy of your System Configuration Module, say SYSCFG.C, select Generate...
from the File menu.
The Configuration Manager can also be directed to use its Configuration Generator utility
to produce a System Documentation Module, say SYSCFG.TXT, a text file summarizing
the characteristics of your AMX configuration. Select Document... from the File menu.
