'Dynamic Skies' Install.doc
This Public Domain release of 'Dynamic Skies V1.0' requires 1 meg minimum
of RAM and a kickstart 1.3 or later. But I counsel a 2.0 or better a 3.0
system, for they behave better with certain bugs. An ideal configuration
should be a 1200 or a 4000 with hard disk. Anyway, future releases won't be
compatible with kickstart 1.3, unless I'm begged to.
To install 'Dynamic Skies' on hard disk, the process is very easy :
With WorkBench help, drag the 'Dynamic_Skies' drawer at the desired path. The
main program always expects its data drawer 'DSData' to be in the same drawer
as itself.
The fonts required, may be installed in the system drawer 'fonts', but
you can leave them at their current directory in the 'Dynamic_Skies' drawer.
'diskfont.library' should of course be present in your system drawer 'libs:'.
If you lack a hard disk, have a WorkBench disk ready for this library.
To start Dynamic Skies from a Shell, remember to 'cd' to its directory
before, then type 'DynamicSkiesDP' without arguments. On the other hand, from
WorkBench, double-click on the Dynamic Skies icon.
If the program refuses to start, you're probably short on memory. Close
unnecessary applications and make an attempt again. With RAM-poor Amigas
( like 1 Meg ), you may even forget the WorkBench.
If the problem is still there, you're likely to miss some files. Check
that 'Cat2000_mag4','BasicNGC' and 'English' directories are present
respectively in directories 'DSData/Starlibs', 'DSData/Objectlibs' and
'DSData/Configs/Languages'. Dynamic_Skies remembers its Config file but may
be confused if these above files are missing. With total refusal of starting
, just trash the 'Config.data' file in 'DSData/Configs' directory. The
program will then run a default configuration with the files mentionned. You
may then save your configuration ( Project menu ).
Have a nice trip among the stars, and if this program interests you,
be smart and register for more fun ! ( and serious work too ! ). Just have
a peep at the 'Register.doc' file in the 'docs' drawer.
