Setting up a running AnalytiCalc disk Several steps are needed to build a working disk. Follow the procedure given (written assuming a two disk system with DF0: and DF1: as floppies.) 1. Copy the distribution diskette and in the remainder, WORK FROM THE COPY and KEEP THE ORIGINAL IN A SAFE PLACE. 2. Place the copy in DF1: and execute roughly the following commands: Delete AnalySources.Arc Delete AnalyUtilSrc.Arc ; make some room cd df1:AnalytiCalc df1:arc -x df1:Analykeypad.Arc #? Delete PCCHELP.SEQ cd df1: Delete AnalyKeypad.Arc 3. Now this disk can be used for AnalytiCalc by the commands cd df1:AnalytiCalc Analy 4. Make sure you have an Interlace screen (640 by 400 or more) BEFORE you run AnalytiCalc. If necessary, go into Preferences and select Interlace ON and SAVE, then reboot. If you try to run AnalytiCalc on a 640 by 200 screen, you'll probably crash your Amiga. In any event you won't succeed. 5. Setting up to use FACCII or using ADDBUFFERS on the disk you use for AnalytiCalc is a good idea if you have enough memory. 6. Try answers No, ABC, 22, 22, 1, and 1 for the initial questions that need answers in the lower window. 7. Now to finish preparations, copy AnalyDocuments.Arc somewhere (e.g., to a blank diskette) along with ARC and type the command ARC -X AnalyDocuments.Arc #? Then READ all the documents, at least once. Printing out at least the cheat sheet (AnalytClc.Crd) is a good idea. Once you've read the manual at least once, you're ready to experiment. 8. Experiment and learn AnalytiCalc 9. Laugh at your leisure at anyone who spent big bucks paying for a spreadsheet. Enjoy. Poke with the sources if you like. 10. The SSP disk may furnish additional routines which can be integrated easily into this version of AnalytiCalc. See the release note archive for the description of this. Glenn C.
