“READ ME” for SCSI Startup, version 1.0

REGISTERING SCSI STARTUP AND THE 7.0 PLUS UTILITIES
===================================================
SCSI Startup is not free. Sites using this software in business MUST
register it. Contact the author for site licensing information. If it is for
personal use only, please send a few dollars. Or you can consider the
following.
7.0 PLUS Utilities is a package of all (more than 25) System 7.0 utilities
I have written. You can get the disk with all of them NOW (not wait until
I decide to upload the next program) by sending $29.95 to me. This will
register you for all the software, will get you a disk of the software, and
an update to the PLUS Utilities when it rolls around. It’s a pretty good
deal. You should register your software, anyway, so why not do it
like this? And it’s a lot cheaper this way.
See the documentation which should accompany this file for more information
on the 7.0 PLUS Utilities. A registration form should also accompany this file.
Please use it to register the software.
USING SCSI STARTUP

(post and e-mail) are given below in “About the Author”. Also, read the
information in the above section on registration.
What Does SCSI Startup Do?
-------------------------
• SCSI Startup, a drag-and-drop utility (Drop Box), sets the current startup
disk to be the selected SCSI drive. Normally you have to open the Startup
Disk Control Panel to change the startup disk. But now you can simply
drag a disk icon over the application in the Finder, and it will be the new
startup drive.
Using SCSI Startup
-----------------
• Drag the icon of the desired startup SCSI drive over SCSI Startup and let
go, just as you would drag a file into a folder. The selected SCSI disk
will be set to be the startup disk.
• Floppies and other non-SCSI devices cannot be set to be the startup SCSI
disk.
• Only disks dragged over the icon will be processed. If you drag any other
item into the application, it will be ignored.
• You cannot set a remote SCSI device to be the startup disk with SCSI Startup.
• Dragging an alias of a disk is treated the same way dragging the actual
disk (the target of the alias) into SCSI Startup would be. So dragging an alias
of the startup disk you want will work properly.
• Double-click on SCSI Startup to see the about box information.
USING DROP BOXES
=================
Drop Boxes are applications (drag-and-drop utilities) which can take advantage
of System 7.0’s Apple Events. To use them, just drag a file over the application
icon just as you would drag a file over a folder to move it into that directory.
The Drop Box is then opened and processing is done. The program then quits.
You can also throw in whole directories and disks. You don’t have to throw in
just one, either. Select a whole bunch of files, directories, or disks, or any
combination of the three, and dump them in. The Drop Box will scan for
files of the required type and modify them accordingly. All files in all
directories within those dropped in will be modified. Any aliases dropped
directly into a Drop Box (not inside a directory) are resolved by the Finder
and thus their target (parent) is modified.
