The program is designed to be used with a color monitor and be put
in an auto folder on your Boot Disk. If you are using a Hard Drive put
the program in the Auto Folder on Drive "C". If you are using a Clock
Card or a program to boot your Hard Drive, put those programs in your
Auto Folder before Boot Up Master Program.
The program is designed to do ten functions. They are:
1 - Change Active Programs in your Auto Folder
2 - Change Active Accessory Files
3 - Change Read Drive (This checks available memory on drive)
4 - Change Screen Resolution
5 - Change Character and Screen Colors
6 - Change Write Verification On & Off
7 - Change Boot Up from either Cold or Warm Boot
8 - Always bring up your computer in medium resolution
9 - Check your computer memory
10 - Check your configuration/520ST/1040ST/MEG+ST
The program requires three files besides itself. The first one is
"DISKNAME.INF". This file is automatically written to "A" Drive the
first time you boot with this program. The only thing you have to make
sure is that the write protect is off "A" Drive and there is a small
amount of free space on the same drive.
The next two files you must create from your "DESKTOP.INF". First,
set your screen resolution to Low. Set the desktop and arrange it the
way you like it, then save the "DESKTOP.INF" file. Copy "DESKTOP.INF"
file to "LOW.INF". Now set your screen resolution to Medium. Set the
desktop and arrange it the way you like it, then save the "DESKTOP.INF"
file. Now copy "DESKTOP.INF" file to "MED.INF".
Setting Up Your "AUTO" Folder to use Boot Up Master Program. If you
are using a hard drive, then the "AUTO" Folder needs to be created on "C"
Drive else created on "A" Drive. If you are using a file to boot your
hard drive, place that file first in the "AUTO" Folder. Then if you are
using a clock card with a program to boot it, place that program in the
"AUTO" Folder next. Now place the Boot Up Master Program in the "AUTO"
Folder and any other program that you may use from time to time can be
placed after that program. You can have a maximum of 18 programs which
nine of them can be active at one time.
This program allows eighteen accessory programs to be on the disk.
GEM limits you to six active "ACC" at one time.
After completing the above, hit RESET and reboot you computer. You
are ready to go. Hope you enjoy it - leave any comments to my name on
GENIE.
