QuickStart Instructions for ShuttlePilot
====================================
If you hate to read manuals, just read this section to get you started. We assume that you are familiar with basic Macintosh operations. If not, please refer to the Macintosh User’s Guide and read the rest of the manual for more detailed instructions. ShuttlePilot will work on any Macintosh that is running System 6.0.7 or System 7.
1. Lock the original ShuttlePilot diskette and make a backup copy.
2. Open the Control Panel and check that the System date and time is correct, and change them if necessary. Decide which files should have linked duplicates and segregate them into their own folders.
3. Drag the ShuttlePilot file onto your hard disk and double-click the icon. The default window that appears consists of an instrument panel at the top, followed by two empty scrolling fields. If you are using System 7, turn on balloon help for more information about the buttons, fields and menus.
4. Click on the New Folder button in the upper left corner, and choose folders until you have built up a list of folder-pairs in the upper scrolling field. This list links folders whose contents should be equal. After creating this folder-pair list, the ShuttlePilot window should resemble the figure below.
Folder-pairs whose contents are not equivalent will be marked by a button with a check mark . Selecting any one of these checked folder-pairs will cause a list of the files that need equalizing to be displayed in the lower scrolling field. Inspect them to make sure that they are the correct files and that the copy directions on the arrow buttons are what you expect them to be.
5. Ensure that all the files to be copied are closed. Click the Copy button to start the file shuttling. To halt the equalization process, hit any key on the keyboard or click on the red Stop button.
Updating with AutoPilot
======================
1. If some of the folders to be equalized are on floppy diskettes, you can switch on the Autopilot feature by clicking on the Auto Off toggle button at the top of the panel, and setting a delay time (in seconds) by clicking the arrows on the right.
2. Insert the backup floppy and ShuttlePilot will begin to flash and beep at one second intervals. After the preset delay there will be a long beep before file shuttling begins. When the folders are equalized, the floppy will be automatically ejected. If no equalizing is necessary, the floppy will be ejected immediately.
Manual Addendum
================
Under AutoPilot the act of inserting an ejectable disk will trigger folder equalization. By default only disks less than 4 megabytes (which means only floppys) are recognised as “ejectable”. This is to prevent unnecessary autoejection of CD-ROMS, SysQuests or optical disks when AutoPilot is on. If you wish to treat larger disks as ejectable, this default can be changed by setting the maximum ejectable size in the dialog that appears when the Preferences… menuitem (under the Edit menu) is chosen. Every folder list file can have a different maximum default size.
Technical Support
================
Please call, write, fax or send electronic mail to us if you have any problems or questions. Before doing so, note the hardware configuration you have, the system version you are using.
