Around this time i was pursueing a degree in Computers and was forced to sell my Amiga to raise money for a PC, an action i later regretted. Deprived of my Amiga i lost track of the Amiga scene for nearly three years. The degree Tutankhamun is an educational program designed with ease of use in mind. By using a combination of text, diagrams and pictures you can explore the fascinating bygone age of ancient Egypt, after which you can delve into the incredible discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922. Full instructions for the program can be found within Tutankhamun. On the Tutankhamun disks the following files should be present: 1: Tutankhamun (The main program and its icon) 2: Tutankhamun.Data (In the directory called Data) 3: Music (A directory containing five pieces of music) 5: Diskfont library (A library in the libs directory) 6: Egypt.font (A font in the fonts directory) 7: Tutankhamun.Prefs (A text file in the S directory) 8: Pics (A directory on Disk 2 containing 28 pictures) 9: HDInstall (A Hard Disk install program and its icon) 10: ReadMe.Doc (This document and its icon) 11: Tuts.iff (A picture and its icon) =========================================================================== Installing Tutankhamun onto a Hard Disk =========================================================================== To Install Tutankhamun on to your Hard Disk you can use the supplied HDInstall Program. If you would rather do it yourself The following should be noted. Tutankhamun finds its files by reading in the Tutankhamun.prefs from the current System disk (be it floppy or Hard Disk), if this file is not found Tutankhamun uses its defaults, consquently the program will not know where to find its files and it will abort. Getting around this problem you can do the following. First load the Tutankhamun.prefs into a text editor such as Ed. Looking at the file you will see that the first three lines contain the paths of Tutankhamun's three directorys: Tutankhamun1:Music/ Tutankhamun2:Pics/ Tutankhamun1:Data/ So if you had installed Tutankhamun to a partition called Work and into a directory called Test, you should edit the file to read: Work:Test/Music/ Work:Test/Pics/ Work:Test/Data/ Also if you wish to throw all Tutankhamun's files into one directory say for instance Test2, you should edit the file to read: Work:Test2/ Work:Test2/ Work:Test2/ Once you have finished editing the file you should save it to your Sys/S directory, and when you next run Tutankhamun it will hopefully find its files from the paths you have given it. You should also copy the Diskfont.library and Egypt font, found on Tutankhamun disk 1, to your Libs and Fonts directorys. =========================================================================== Other Title's By The Same Author =========================================================================== TITANIC ------- Available from your local (Central Linenseware Registry) library. Titanic is very much in the same format as Tutankhamun, it too uses text, diagrams and pictures to convey its information. To get a better idea of what Titanic is about the following text is from Titanic's introduction. As Titanic sailed out of Southampton on the first leg of her maiden voyage on 10 April 1912, she was heralded as practically unsinkable. Four nights later she brushed an iceberg and took Captain Smith and 1500 of his passengers and crew to their deaths in the freezing water. Featured on television, in books, the cinema, the press, and even in song, history's most famous ship has stirred the imagination for three generations. Now, for the first time the entire Titanic story is told through the media of computer. From inception to construction, from launch to maiden voyage from tragic loss to recent discovery, here is all the detail. =========================================================================== Updates =========================================================================== It is my intention to continually update and improve all my titles.
