- Installation
- ------------
- Installing ACE consists of:
-
- - Unpacking the archive.
-
- - Adding a few commands to your s:user-startup (Wb 2.x/3.x) or
- s:startup-sequence (Wb 1.3) file.
-
- First create a new drawer (eg. ACE) on your hard disk, open a shell window,
- change to the new directory, and unpack the archive into it with:
-
- lha -a x <archive-name>
-
- eg. lha -a x ace24.lha
-
- The "-a" switch preserves file attributes (eg. the "s" bit on shell scripts)
- in the archive.
-
- As you can see, it is *assumed* that you have a hard disk. If you don't,
- unpack the ACE archive into the RAM disk and place the contents of the
- distribution onto more than one floppy disk from there.
-
- Next, add the following lines to your user-startup or startup-sequence
- script:
-
- assign ACE: <volume or directory>
- path ACE:bin add
-
- where <volume or directory> is the name of the disk or directory where
- the main ACE files now reside (eg: assign ACE: sys:ACE).
-
- In addition, you need to add three more statements to your startup-sequence
- or user-startup script:
-
- assign ACElib: ACE:lib ; bas finds scanned libraries here.
- assign ACEbmaps: ACE:bmaps ; ace looks here for .bmap files.
- assign ACEinclude: ACE:include ; app uses this for include files.
-
- Now reboot your Amiga to let the above path and assign commands take effect.
-
- That's it!
