GraphicMode
- The most important setting, if it is set to a mode the computer
cannot handle, the computer may crash. The low quality CGA value
should work on most PCs.
DisplayLocation
- Allows you to hide the location bar at the top of Knots display.
Provided in case you need to view more lines text on the screen.
FatFile
- Use this option to specify the filename of your FAT File.
The FAT (File Allocation Table) lets you associate remote URLs
to their location on the local file system.
If you have downloaded a web site, you may find it interesting
to add a line to the FAT for each page, using the format
<URL><SPACE><DOS FILENAME>. Any links pointing to that URL will
then use the local file you specified.
For example, follow this link to pretend these pages are hosted
on the Knots Web site
LinkNumbers
- Lets you to display numbers associated with each link.
Just in case you prefered the old Knots user interface.
HomePage
- Type here the URL of the file you want to be displayed first
when starting KNOTS.
