THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION WILL HELP YOU USE OUR AUTOBOOT PROGRAM WITH YOUR OWN DISKS.
STEP 1: SAVE THE AUTOBOOT PROGRAM TO A DISK THAT YOU WANT TO USE THE PROGRAM ON OR A BLANK, FORMATTED DISK.
STEP 2: NEXT, LOAD BUT DON'T RUN THE AUTOBOOT PROGRAM.
STEP 3: TYPE "RUN1" (THE NUMBER ONE) INSTEAD OF RUN. THIS WILL ALLOW YOU TO SET UP THIS PROGRAM FOR YOUR CUSTOM USE.
STEP 4: AFTER LOADING, THE PROGRAM WILL ASK YOU A SERIES OF QUESTIONS ABOUT THE FILES ON THE DISK.
STEP 5: THE FIRST QUESTION ASKS IF YOU WANT TO USE THE FILE NAME SHOWING ON THE SCREEN WITH THE AUTOBOOT PROGRAM. IF YOU WANT TO HAVE THIS PROGRAM LOADED BY THE AUTOBOOT TYPE "Y", IF NOT TYPE "N".
STEP 6: NEXT, IT WILL ASK YOU IF YOU WANT TO USE THE RELOCATING LOAD. YOU SHOULD ONLY CHOOSE "Y" IF YOU ARE LOADING A BASIC PROGRAM. FOR ANY MACHINE LANGUAGE PROGRAM, YOU MUST TYPE "N". THIS PROGRAM WILL LOAD ONLY BASIC PROGRAMS, NOT REL, SEQ,OR USR FILES.
STEP 7: NEXT, YOU WILL BE ASKED IF THERE IS A SEQ.DOC.FILE AVAILABLE FOR THE PROGRAM YOU ARE AUTOBOOTING. IF YOU TYPE "Y", IT WILL ASK YOU WHAT THE SEQ. FILENAME IS. BY USING THE "Y" FEATURE, IT WILL PUT A * IN FRONT OF THE PROGRAM NAME IN THE MAIN MENU. THIS FEATURE IS USED IF THERE IS ANY EXTRA DOCUMENTATION THAT YOU WANT TO INCLUDE WITH YOUR PROGRAM. PLEASE NOTE: IN THIS CASE ONLY, THE FILE YOU ARE REFERRING TO MUST BE A SEQUENTIAL FILE.
STEP 8: NEXT YOU WILL BE ASKED TO GIVE A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PROGRAM. THIS INFORMATION WILL BE SHOWN LATER AT THE BOTTOM OF THE MENU WHEN THAT PROGRAM IS HIGHLIGHTED. YOU CAN USE UP TO 159 CHARACTERS. WORD WRAP IS ALSO INCLUDED IN THIS PART. PLEASE NOTE: WHEN YOU DO THIS YOU WILL BE IN UPPER/LOWER CASE MODE. DO NOT USE CAPITALS SINCE ALL CHARACTERS WILL BE PUT IN UPPER CASE GRAPHICS MODE UPON COMPLETION OF THIS FEATURE.
STEP 9: REPEAT STEPS 5 THROUGH 8 UNTIL ALL PROGRAMS ON THE DISK HAVE BEEN ENTERED OR REJECTED.
STEP 10: FINALLY, YOU WILL BE ASKED IF ALL THE ABOVE INFORMATION IS CORRECT. TYPE "Y" AND THE INFORMATION IS RECORDED. TYPE "N" AND YOU WILL START THE PROGRAM OVER AGAIN.
HERE ARE A FEW POINTS THAT YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE USING THIS PROGRAM. TRY TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE ALL THE PROGRAMS YOU WANT ON THE DISK BEFORE YOU USE THIS PROGRAM BECAUSE WHENEVER YOU TYPE "RUN1", ALL THE PREVIOUS DATA IS LOST AND YOU HAVE TO REENTER EVERY PROGRAM IN THE MENU. TRY TO MAKE THE AUTOBOOT THE FIRST PROGRAM ON THE DISK. THIS IS DONE SO THAT ALL YOU HAVE TO ENTER IS LOAD "*",8 AND THE AUTOBOOT WILL BE THERE.
WE HOPE YOU HAVE FUN USING THIS PROGRAM AND THAT IT WILL BE USEFUL FOR YOU. SHOULD YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CALL US AT TPUG INC, (416) 733-2933 MONDAY TO FRIDAY 9:00 TO 5:00 (EST).
