AMIGA Plus Disk Instructions If this is your original disk that came with AMIGA Plus, PLEASE MAKE A COPY IMMEDIATELY! You will be able to print this file (Disk7.doc) after you exit this text display program. Look at the bottom of this window for instructions on moving through the display. This "Instructions" scroll can also be used to view and print any other text file. Just click the instructions icon, hold the shift key, and double-click on the text file. Many programs on this disk can be run by just double-clicking on their icons from the Workbench. Some larger programs or their supporting materials are compressed on this disk, so they must be decompressed onto another disk before they can be used. Others may require special installation. We have provided automatic scripts which should make these processes extremely simple for most users. However, these point-and-click scripts require certain standard commands, which must be present in your C: directory (e.g. ASK). The scripts are also designed to be as merciful as possible to single-drive owners, copying most commands to RAM: before proceeding. It's easy to decompress any of the compacted files on this disk. You will be prompted for specific choices. If you have an extra floppy drive, or a hard disk, click once on the DecompressFiles icon, hold down the shift key, and double-click on the destination disk or drawer. A single floppy CANNOT hold all the decompressed files. If you just double-click on the DecompressFiles icon when you have some blank disks ready, the script will extract the compressed files you chose to RAM:, then copy those files to your floppy disk. AMIGA Plus disk #7 contains: Bars&Pipes Demo -- A Hot demo of Blue Ribbon Bakery's new MIDI sequencer and music composition tool box. It is in compressed form. Double-click on the DecompressFiles icon and follow the prompts. This software uses A LOT of RAM and requires at least 1 Meg to run. An additional instructions file (B&PDemo.doc) and the C language source code for the AMIGA Plus exclusive Apreggi-8 tool will also be reconstituted. To read the instructions for Bars&Pipes, just double-click on the B&PDemo.doc icon inside your (decompressed) B&PDemo drawer. Baffle -- An addictive word game from KasTech. Just double-click on the Baffle icon in the Baffle drawer. To play, select "Play Game" from the menu, then type in all the words you can build from connected letters. This program looks for the Diamond 20 font found on the standard Workbench disk. To copy the game to another disk, drag the drawer over. The AddWords, RemoveWords, and UpDateDict utilities allow you to modify Baffle's dictionary. Be sure to check the specific instructions in the magazine BEFORE trying to alter the dictionary. BindStartups -- Mark Lanoux' Workbench utility manager lets you run your favorite utilities automatically on booting, simply by dragging them into a Startups drawer on your boot disk. Your S:startup-sequence script only needs to be modified once, to add the BindStartups command sometime after the LoadWB command and sometime before EndCLI (if it's there). If you have about 35K free on your boot disk (or hard drive partition), the InstallStartup script will create a Startups drawer on your boot disk (SYS:) and copy the BindStartups command onto your SYS:C directory, and copy arp.library to SYS:LIBS if it's not there already. Since the script uses SYS: as the name for your target boot disk, you can ASSIGN SYS: to another disk, and have BindStartups installed on a copy of your Workbench disk. Both the article and the installation script give you instructions on positioning the BindStartups command in your S:startup-sequence. 1989 Phasar Tax Forms -- If you own the home accounting software PHA$AR 3.0 (on AMIGA Plus Disk #6), you can calculate your 1989 federal taxes and print the forms automatically. Seven tax form templates, a summary form and payment tables will be decompressed by the DecompressFiles script. You MUST copy PHASAR.tax to a disk with PHA$AR 3.0 to use these forms. IFF2Script -- Convert IFF bitmaps to Sculpt 3D/4D script files with this program by Eric Cosky. Click on an IFF picture icon then hold the SHIFT key and double-click on the IFF2Script icon. This will create a .script file for Sculpt in the same directory as the picture, and with ".script" appended to the name. If you like, you can set the picture icon's tooltypes to toggle vertical and horizontal merging, as dewscribed in the magazine article. Just add NOMERGE=Horizontal (or Vertical or Both) to the picture icon's tooltypes. To use this program from the CLI type: IFF2Script [-v|h] [
