.description
On the Amiga, many programs require a particular logical device name or
assignment to point to a drawer or volume to find their data. If you forget
to place such an assignment in your User-Startup file or take care of it by
hand you will sooner or later see the familiar "Please insert volume ... in
any drive" requester popping up. AssignWedge `wedges' into the operating
system routine responsible for bringing up this requester, giving you the
choice to take one of the following actions using the mouse:
· Retry
If you have taken care of the assignment or device yourself,
this will cause the action that brought up the requester
to be repeated.
· Assign
This will create an assignment under the name displayed in
the requester. You just have to pick the drawer to tie it to.
· Mount
Assuming that the device displayed in the requester can be
mounted, this will execute the AmigaDOS `Mount' command
and then repeat the action that brought up the requester.
· Deny
This effectively denies the program that brought up this
requester to refer to the device in question. Whenever
it refers to it, no requester will appear asking you to
insert the volume in question. Instead, the program to
ask for the volume will see any attempt to access the
volume failing.
· Cancel
Denies the program request to access the volume. It's
as simple as that.
