_____/---------------------------------------------------------------\______
NOTE: This CD was designed with Workbench 3.0+ in mind, it will work on
WB2.0 or higher, but with some restrictions. This CD does not support
WB1.3 or lower.
LOADING INSTRUCTIONS:
The following assumes you have already loaded Workbench (or you wouldn't
be reading this! or would you??.....)
1) FIRST OF ALL, DOUBLE-CLICK THE 'CLICKME!' ICON. THIS MAKES CERTAIN
ESSENTIAL ASSIGNS.
2) MAKE SURE YOU ARE USING A SCREENMODE WITH AT LEAST 8 COLOURS. YOU CAN
CHANGE THE SCREENMODE BY USING THE SCREENMODE PROGRAM IN THE PREFS
DRAWER OF YOUR BOOT DISK (WORKBENCH).
2) IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY USING MAGIC WB, THEN THE COLOUR SCHEME WILL BE
WRONG. TO CORRECT THIS, DOUBLE-CLICK THE 'CLICKFORCOLORS ICON'.
3) IF YOU ARE USING A SCREENMODE OF 16 COLOURS OR MORE, SOME OF THE ICONS MAY
LOOK ODD. TO CORRECT THIS, LOAD THE MAGICCOLORS PROGRAM.
4) IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO CHANGE YOUR FONTS FOR SOME THAT ARE IN MY OPINION
MORE READABLE, LOAD THE 'CHANGEFONTS' ICON.
5) THAT'S IT!
You do not HAVE to do any of the steps except STEP 1. If you intend to use this
CD through Shell or a Directory Manager (like Directory Opus), you do not even
have to do this!
I would advise that if you are planning to use this CD a lot (and why not??),
then you could make some of the above changes permanent. This will save you
having to do all the above everytime you want to use the CD. Firstly, you
should save your screenmode preferences for at least 8 colours. You should
then save your palette prefs to keep the MagicWB palette. If you intend to use a
screenmode of 16 colours or more, you should also put the MagicColors program
into your WBStartup drawer. If you do these things, you only have to load the
'ClickMe!' icon each time, and the ChangeFonts if you want to change your fonts.
NOTE: If you have any problems following these instructions, then please read
the Amiga Workbench/AmigaDOS manuals first. These will help you a great deal
when using your Amiga in general. If you still don't have a clue, you can
contact us - our details are at the bottom of this file.
-----\________________________________________________________________/-----
Most of the programs in this compilation were designed for use on an
Amiga computer which is running a minimum of Workbench 3.0 or higher.
A lot of the programs on this CD also require the AGA chipset, which at
the time of writing includes A1200s and A4000s. Some of the programs on
this CD will also run on the CD32 but may require hardware that is not
available on the stock CD32 console.
PLEASE NOTE:
In order to make most of the contents of this CD easy to use and ready to
run without any troublesome decompression, we have in some cases changed the
'Tool Types' of some of the PD/Shareware titles on this disc. This was
necessary because there isn't any standard file/picture/text viewer used,
and this causes problems for the programs locating text viewers etc. In the
documentation of some titles, it states that the files should not be altered.
I don't believe that changing some tool types is in breach of this request,
but if any author objects to this very small change (Surely not!), then just
contact us, and we will take your program off the CD in the next release.
Some programs that did not originaly have icons, have had them added. This is
to make them easier to use for beginners. I can't see anyone objecting ;-)
I really do wish all of this was not necessary. I know exactly how annoying it
is when trying to read docs only to get 'Unable to open your tool XXX'! For
beginners this can be enough to completely fox them, and I don't think I could
advise them to simply use the program without reading any instructions :-)
Also, occasionaly some icon images have been changed in order to fit in with
the MagicWB colour scheme. Just a reminder - if you like and use any of the
shareware programs on this disc - consider PAYING THE SHAREWARE FEE!!!
HINT:
If you move some of the programs off this disc, and onto your Hard Drive for
example you may find that when you try to read the docs, it says 'please
insert volume aga'. To get round this, simply click the icon once, then select
'Information' in the Icons menu. Change the line 'AGA:C/ppmore' to
'SYS:C/PPmore'. Then make sure you have 'PPmore' in the C directory of the
disk you boot from. ('PPmore' can be found in the C directory of this CD.)
This should solve all the problems.
To fully utilize the programs on the disc, using the CD32 system, you
may need to add the optional keyboard, mouse, floppy drive, and RGB
monitor. Some of the files in this collection may be stored in compressed
formats and need to be decompressed to a floppy or hard disk to run. Due to
the fact that this CD is NOT BOOTABLE, if you wish to use it on a standard CD32,
you will have to use some sort of file transfer program in conjunction with a
bootable CD. If you are not sure about this, we would be pleased to advise.
Note: Some games/demos on this CD contain graphic sequences that may
affect people with photo-sensitive epilepsy or similar conditions. If
you have been advised to avoid strobe-lights or similar, you should
avoid using these games/demos, or if you do view them, proceed with caution.
Please contact your physician for further advise.
Other demos may contain language unsuitable for young children, although
we have removed all the programs we have found containing offensive language.
WARNING! Any disk you put in the drive will be overwritten and all previous
data on them will be destroyed. Make sure you only use blank disks and be
careful not to overwrite important disks. SAdENESS SOFTWARE cannot
be held responsible for loss of data due to accidental or deliberate misuse
of this disc.
NEVER remove a floppy disk while the drive light is on. Always wait three
second after the light goes out before removing a disk.
