===== file = README.DOC =====
This file describes the special demo version of SOLAPAK ST for the ATARI
520/1040 ST. If you've downloaded this demo from a BBS you should have
a minimum of these files:
readme.doc - this file
solapak.doc - installation and usage instructions
spooler.acc - the desk accessory for the print spooler
solapak.prg - background demon
copy2ram.tos - ramdisk autoloader
If you've downloaded these files from a BBS you'll need to make working
disk prior to running the demo. Format a fresh disk and create an AUTO
folder. Then copy the file SOLAPAK.PRG into the AUTO folder and reboot
your system. Read the SOLAPAK.DOC file for additional ideas.
===== ABOUT THE DEMO =====
This demo is being made available to dealers and on electronic bulletin
boards nation wide. Please feel free to make copies and pass them along
to friends. Since this demo is free there have been some limitations
imposed on SOLAPAK functions. They are:
1. The screen saver, ramdisk, and print spooler are always installed.
With the actual version you can set SOLAPAK to install only the
features you desire.
2. The installation utility SPMODIFY is not included. This utilility
is used to edit ramdisk size and drive, screen saver delay, print
option buttons, and many other features. SOLAPAK comes configured
for an Epson FX85 printer.
3. The non desk accessory version of SPOOLER.ACC is not included.
4. The ramdisk size if limited to 40K. This is large enough to try
out the print spooler, move a few files around between disks, and
to watch the ramdisk autoloader work.
5. The print spooler prints only the first eight thousand characters
of any file. This should be enough to let you print one page
letters and to try out the spooler.
4. The screen saver delay is fixed at 90 seconds.
5. The object module SPLR.O is not included. This is a file which
can be linked into a user written program for spooling a file
under software control.
6. No printer defition files are included. The actual version has
definition files to support most printers.
7. Various parts of the instruction guide are not present.
