- Copyright Barry Wills, 1993-1995.

-
- QUICK INSTALLATION
- ------------------
-
- NOTE: EE requires at least OS v37 (KS 2.04).
-
-
- UPGRADING FROM v0.9.1
- ---------------------
-
- 1. Copy the new executables into the directory where the old ones already
- reside.
-
- 2. If you're upgrading from v0.8 or newer, you can use the UpgradePrefs
- program to port your prefs file to v0.9.2a. (NOTE: the program is not
- smart about the conversion; it only checks to ensure the file size
- matches one of the v0.8+ prefs file size of 2180 or 2182 bytes.)
-
- If you decide to use new prefs, just copy the contents of the new
- prefs directory into your existing prefs directory.
-
-
- FULL INSTALLATION
- -----------------
-
- 1. Find a suitable place and name for EE's directories:
-
- - copy the executables and the 'prefs' directory to a convenient
- location; like, uh, 'E/bin'? (NOTE: PrefsEditor MUST be in the EE
- PROGDIR: (EE PROGDIR: is defined as the same location as the EE
- executable), and the default prefs directory MUST be immediately
- subordinate to the EE PROGDIR: for EE to work right. See EE.guide
- for customizing prefs.) e.g., if PROGDIR: = DH0:E/bin, then here's
- the required layout:
-
- DH0:E/bin/EE
- DH0:E/binPrefsEditor
- DH0:E/binprefs/
-
- - if you want to use the provided ARexx scripts, put the contents of
- the 'EE/rexx' directory in 'E/rexx', then execute the command:
-
- Assign rexx: DH0:E/rexx ADD
-
- - put the docs anywhere that's convenient for you;
-
- 2. Install the reqtools.library v38.693 in your LIBS: directory.
-
- - change directory to EE/libs20;
-
- - Check the version of your reqtools.library (use the command
- 'Version LIBS:reqtools.library'). If your installed version is
- greater than 38.693, skip the rest of step two.
-
- - execute the command 'Copy reqtools.library LIBS:';
-
- 3. Make EE executable from everywhere:
-
- - execute the command 'Path :EE :EE/bin ADD';
-
- - or make an alias for EE, PrefsEditor and ListKeys;
-
- - add these commands to S:User-Startup if you want;
-
- 4. Make sure Amiga E v3.2a is intalled correctly.
-
- 5. Go to town! :) Don't forget to keep the EE.guide handy!! You'll need
- to install Amigaguide to read it.
-
- NOTE: If your keys seem to be doing strange things, you'll need to assign
- your own keys to the "Write Char" function using the PrefsEditor. See
- EE.guide, for information on usage of the PrefEditor to create a virgin
- prefs file and assign keys. Follow the links "Customization", "Prefs
- Editor Program", "In General" and read the note at the bottom bottom of
- the link. To assign keys, etc., read the links under "Customization".
