- PowerCache Installation Notes
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- There are two ways of installing PowerCache. Either you can choose to
- install PowerCache "the old-fashioned way", with the IconX script provided
- here, or you can use the "Installer" script in the Workbench2.1+ directory.
-
- Note, that as the Installer is an official Commodore product, it is not
- provided in this distribution. Doing so would conflict with the copyrights
- imposed by Commodore. The Installer has now been released to the general
- public, so it should not be too hard for you to pick it up off some PD
- series in the near future (try Fred Fish, or, better still, call your
- favourite BBS system). When I receive my Installer distribution licence, I
- will supply the Installer executable.
-
- If you have Workbench 2.1, 3.0 or higher, you will find Installer on your
- Workbench installation disk. Simply copy it to the C: directory, or
- anywhere in your Shell command path.
-
- If you choose to perform a manual installation, you must
-
- · Copy libs/reqtools.library from the distribution disk to your own
- LIBS: directory
-
- · Make a directory called "PowerCache" on your system disk (hard disk)
-
- · Assuming the distribution disk is in DF0: and your system disk is DH0:,
- issue the following CLI command:
-
- 1> Copy DF0:PowerCache DH0:PowerCache ; Or Copy DF0:PowerCache.020...
-
- Next, make a "Documentation" directory, in the PowerCache directory you
- made in the previous step. Then issue this command:
-
- 1> Copy DF0:PowerCache/Documentation/#?.guide#? DH0:PowerCache/Documentation
-
- · Put the following few lines into your S:User-Startup file:
-
- ;BEGIN PowerCache
- Assign PowerCache: DH0:PowerCache DEFER
- ;END PowerCache
-
- PowerCache can be run without this assign, but only if you organize it on
- your harddisk exactly as it is on the distribution disk. That is,
- PowerCache must be able to open either "Documentation/PowerCache.guide"
- from its root directory, or "PowerCache:Documentation/PowerCache.guide".
-
- For future compatibility it is recommended that you do indeed include the
- assign statement in your user-startup file, since later versions of the
- program may *require* this assign in order to work at all.
-
- For further information on how to perform a manual installation, please
- consult the PowerCache documentation file (PowerCache.guide) located in the
- Documentation drawer.
