-
- Release v1.1.9 contains:

- (this is not as complete as the TeX version but covers
- everything important)
- DBB.guide - AmigaGuide database file
- DBB.prefs - a config file
- elements.iff, good.iff, bad.iff - pictures required by dvi file
- good.iff.guide, bad.iff.guide, kmap.iff.guide - brushes for AmigaGuide
- database
- Circuits/* - sample design files, mostly from Ethan Dicks
- <erd@kumiss.cmhnet.org>
- rtk - Karnaugh-map utility
- mdpic - combinational logic design utility
- fonts/hpcalc.font - a needed font
- fonts/hpcalc/18
- fonts/xen.font - rtk font
- fonts/xen/9
- reqtools.library - a needed library file
- History - history file
- README - this file.

- To print the TeX verion of the manual, you will need the program DVIprint
- and the associated TeX fonts, and the program SpecialHost (from the PasTeX
- distribution) will have to be active to import the .iff pictures. Put the
- .iff pictures in the same directory that you started SpecialHost from. If
- you start SpecialHost in your startup-sequence with the call
- `tex:bin/specialhost', then you would put the files in DH0:'s root directory,
- or whatever your working directory is. SpecialHost should be set to `Memory'
- or `File' (borderless). Type `DVIprint p printer DBB.dvi' (substitute your
- own supported printer where it says 'printer').
-
- For my HPIIIP, these are the settings I use:
-
- TeX:bin/dviprint -b 200000 -h .73in -v .4in p laserjet DBB.dvi

- The AmigaGuide datafile uses CBM's Display program, and because Workbench
- users won't have a full path, expects it to be in the default Sys:Utilities
- drawer. You can change this location, or even the program if you want, by
- editing the DBB.guide file with a text editor. Better yet, if you have
- the AmigaGuide distribution, use WDisplay instead to display the files on
- the AmigaGuide window itself. Also note that because of the lack of
- variable support in AmigaGuide, the three *.iff.guide files need to be in
- the same directory as you started DBB from (i.e. if you use the DBB icon
- then they will be found in their default location, but if you start DBB
- from a project icon in the Circuits drawer, you'll either need to edit the
- DBB.guide file to supply a path for the files or have a copy of them in
- that drawer.
-
- Digital Breadboard is a WB2.x program! If you try to run it under 1.3 or
- earlier, it won't work. Digital Breadboard uses an Amiga high-res screen
- mode. If you use it with a non-VGA monitor it will probably look non-optimal
- unless you get creative with the colors. Pay attention to the printer
- settings if you use a dark background.
