How to use AmiDock
There are two ways to use AmiDock:
1) From the the CLI enter 'amidock' and the prompt and press return.
This will cause AmiDock to look in the DOCK: directory that you assigned
before you ran AmiDock (usually in the startup-sequence).
AmiDock will also use the DOCK: assignment if you ran it from the WorkBench
by double clicking on its icon, or under WB2.0, placing it in the WBStartup
drawer.
The assign DOCK: must be made so that it specifies a directory where a
dock.config file is located and must be done before you run amidock in this
way.
example: assign DOCK: dh0:dock/interlace/maindock
For this example to work a dock.config file must be in the directory
'dh0:dock/interlace/maindock'.
2) The second way to run AmiDock eliminates the need for the Assign DOCK: stuff.
All that you need to do is to give the path to the dock.config file as the first
argument to AmiDock when you run it from the CLI. This method only works from
a CLI (or shell). It will not work from he WorkBench, to run AmiDock from the
WorkBench see #1 above.
example: amidock dh0:dock/interlace/maindock
Remember a dock.config file must be in the directory dh0:dock/interlace/maindock
NEW for version 1.4:
When you run AmiDock and it cannot find a dock.config file AmiDock will put up
a error message stating that it cannot find its dock.config file. If this happens
be sure that the dock.config file is in the directory specified as a argument or by
the assignment DOCK:.
To run AmiDock from the startup-sequence add the following lines to your
startup-sequence:
assign DOCK: <path to dock.config file - see above>
amidock
To run more than one AmiDock from your startup-sequence add these lines:
assign DOCK: <path to dock.config file - see above>
amidock
amidock <path to another dock.config file>
You can run as many as you want to like this, just remember that each different
AmiDock needs its own dock.config file (put them in separate directories) and each
brush used by a particular dock needs to be located with each and every dock.config
file that uses it.
