DeCrawler2 Help
How and when to use the Reload Text file While playing feature.

When DeCrawler loads a text document, it loads the entire document (or as much as possible) into memory. This option will let you re-load a text document(s) while DeCrawler is running.

Follow these steps:

This option requires that you have access to the directory that contains the current documents being played. This option can be used via modem (if your modem software permits uploads in the background) or over a network; if you have enough memory.

While DeCrawler is running, simply copy the modified text file of the same name into the directory where the original document was loaded. e.g. Copy it to the current DeCrawler directory.

When a document has finished playing, it will re-load the new document (of the same file name) and start from the beginning again.

If the current document is being loaded into DeCrawler as you are copying the modified document, the new document will be ignored and you should get a remote file access error generated by W98/Nt. Try the copy again. Remark: This is suggested for documents of a minute or greater in play time.
