- installation notes
- ---------------------------------------
-
- - upgrading: simply replace the binary
-
- - installing: please use the installer.
- it will corrupt your system beyond repair. :-)
-
- - MysticView is meant to be a stand-alone utility,
- without setting up assigns and stuff, and it's
- recommended to be installed in SYS:Utilities/ or
- any other path that is looked up by the Workbench.
- this has many advantages for workbench integration,
- as you can start MysticView by double-clicking
- preset or listfile icons without further
- configuration.
-
- - the installer may prompt you to choose a default
- configuration that fits to your system. don't
- worry, there is nothing that can go wrong with
- different configurations.
