- The program is designed to be used with a color monitor and be put
- in an auto folder on your Boot Disk. If you are using a Hard Drive put
- the program in the Auto Folder on Drive "C". If you are using a Clock
- Card or a program to boot your Hard Drive, put those programs in your
- Auto Folder before Boot Up Master Program.
-
- The program is designed to do ten functions. They are:
-
- 1 - Change Active Programs in your Auto Folder
- 2 - Change Active Accessory Files
- 3 - Change Read Drive (This checks available memory on drive)
- 4 - Change Screen Resolution
- 5 - Change Character and Screen Colors
- 6 - Change Write Verification On & Off
- 7 - Change Boot Up from either Cold or Warm Boot
- 8 - Always bring up your computer in medium resolution
- 9 - Check your computer memory
- 10 - Check your configuration/520ST/1040ST/MEG+ST
-
- The program requires three files besides itself. The first one is
- "DISKNAME.INF". This file is automatically written to "A" Drive the
- first time you boot with this program. The only thing you have to make
- sure is that the write protect is off "A" Drive and there is a small
- amount of free space on the same drive.
-
- The next two files you must create from your "DESKTOP.INF". First,
- set your screen resolution to Low. Set the desktop and arrange it the
- way you like it, then save the "DESKTOP.INF" file. Copy "DESKTOP.INF"
- file to "LOW.INF". Now set your screen resolution to Medium. Set the
- desktop and arrange it the way you like it, then save the "DESKTOP.INF"
- file. Now copy "DESKTOP.INF" file to "MED.INF".
-
- Setting Up Your "AUTO" Folder to use Boot Up Master Program. If you
- are using a hard drive, then the "AUTO" Folder needs to be created on "C"
- Drive else created on "A" Drive. If you are using a file to boot your
- hard drive, place that file first in the "AUTO" Folder. Then if you are
- using a clock card with a program to boot it, place that program in the
- "AUTO" Folder next. Now place the Boot Up Master Program in the "AUTO"
- Folder and any other program that you may use from time to time can be
- placed after that program. You can have a maximum of 18 programs which
- nine of them can be active at one time.
-
- This program allows eighteen accessory programs to be on the disk.
- GEM limits you to six active "ACC" at one time.
-
- After completing the above, hit RESET and reboot you computer. You
- are ready to go. Hope you enjoy it - leave any comments to my name on
- GENIE.
