- .description
- On the Amiga, many programs require a particular logical device name or
- assignment to point to a drawer or volume to find their data. If you forget
- to place such an assignment in your User-Startup file or take care of it by
- hand you will sooner or later see the familiar "Please insert volume ... in
- any drive" requester popping up. AssignWedge `wedges' into the operating
- system routine responsible for bringing up this requester, giving you the
- choice to take one of the following actions using the mouse:
-
- · Retry
-
- If you have taken care of the assignment or device yourself,
- this will cause the action that brought up the requester
- to be repeated.
-
- · Assign
-
- This will create an assignment under the name displayed in
- the requester. You just have to pick the drawer to tie it to.
-
- · Mount
-
- Assuming that the device displayed in the requester can be
- mounted, this will execute the AmigaDOS `Mount' command
- and then repeat the action that brought up the requester.
-
- · Deny
-
- This effectively denies the program that brought up this
- requester to refer to the device in question. Whenever
- it refers to it, no requester will appear asking you to
- insert the volume in question. Instead, the program to
- ask for the volume will see any attempt to access the
- volume failing.
-
- · Cancel
-
- Denies the program request to access the volume. It's
- as simple as that.
