- EXECUTIVE
- =========
-
-
- WHAT IS IT?
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- Executive brings real multitasking to AmigaOS. Executive is a UNIX-like
- task scheduler for Amiga. It also has plenty of other features previously
- available only in larger operating systems.
-
- Executive improves the responsiveness of your Amiga. One CPU intensive
- application no longer causes the whole system to crawl. You can start
- many CPU intensive applications and the system still feels as if it
- would be totally idle.
-
- The Executive package also includes many useful client programs that let
- you control tasks and monitor what's going on in your system.
-
- No similar programs for Amiga have been made before, so you may not
- exactly know what Executive is all about, but give it a little time
- and read the documentation and you won't regret it!
-
- Executive is the highest rated item of shareware CU Amiga magazine has
- ever awarded at 98%.
-
-
- REQUIREMENTS
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- Executive requires at least AmigaOS 2.04. Localization will be available
- if you're using AmigaOS 2.1 or newer.
-
- MagicUserInterface (MUI) is not required, although some clients use it.
- MUI version 3.3 or later is recommended. If you don't have MUI or don't
- want to use it, the programs that use MUI are also available with a
- standard GadTools interface.
-
- Executive requires approximately 1.5 MB of hard disk space for full
- installation.
-
-
- INSTALLATION
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- Installation is easy, just click on the Installation icon and
- Executive will be installed. The installation is safe, there's no
- risk of overwriting any system files and you can later uninstall
- easily by using the uninstallation script. This will completely
- remove Executive from your system. If you abort the installation,
- files that were installed will be deleted.
-
- All files except two locale catalogs are installed to a single
- directory.
-
- I suggest you install Executive in expert user - mode. This will let
- you choose from different types of icons and documentation.
-
- You really want to use the Installer script and not to try install
- Executive manually. If you don't have the standard Amiga Installer-
- utility, you can download it from any Aminet site, the file is:
- util/misc/Installer-43_3.lha (or a newer version).
-
- If you're a new user, you might want to read the tutorial section
- in the documentation after you have installed Executive.
-
-
- NEW VERSIONS
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- If you want to be informed when a new version of Executive is released,
- please send me your email address. Registered users are automatically
- added to the mailing list.
