-
- You will notice that there's no runnable program here. To try out BootScreen,
- you must install it using the Install script. Don't be afraid to do this,
- because I have thoughtfully provided an UnInstall ("Remove") script that
- will undo the Install for you in one quick pass.
-
-
- You may install the program right now -- it doesn't take much space, and
- the procedure is quick and easy. All you need to remember is to read the
- help texts. Once that's done, just go into your Prefs drawer and run the
- new BootScreen editor you'll have there. Load up a picture, save, and reboot.
-
- That's it! You will, of course, want to read the documentation.

- TROUBLESHOOTING
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- If you have a problem running the Install scripts, chances are you don't
- have the Installer program on your hard disk. This can be acquired from
- any one of the following sources:
- * Original Install 2.1 or Install 3.0 disk from Commodore -- you'll find
- it on the root directory.
- * Commodore Installer distribution (GEnie file #21301).
-
- All you need to do is copy the program (it's called 'Installer') to your
- C: directory and leave it there. More and more programs use the Installer
- nowadays, so it's good to have it on your hard disk.
-
- It is known that the version of Installer provided with Octree's Caligari24
- software fails to compile the script. You are best off using the Commodore
- installer from your original Workbench disk set.

- BootScreen V2.2 is ShareWare. It's not GimmeMoneyWare. I've spent a good
- deal of time on this project, and hope that at least some people will show
- their appreciation for my work with a very small donation. This isn't to
- make money, this is to see if the Amiga community still supports its
- starving students. There are no annoying nag screens or disabled features
- in this demo version; I felt that the first step with you trusting me
- with your money would be for me to trust you with my program.
-
- Registration instructions can be found at the end of both the BootScreen.doc
- and BootScreen.readme files. Thanks!
