ANGLIA DISK STANDARDS
LOADING
In almost all cases an Anglia disk may be BOOTED (used without loading
workbench) or inserted after loading the WORKBENCH disk. Sometimes a
program needs certain files that are not present on the workbench disk so
we have adopted the following format: Any needed library or file will be
provided on this disk in the appropriate place (ie the LIBS directory).
This means that the program will work fine if this disk is booted but may
not work if you have loaded workbench first. If you must load the workbench
first then the needed files must be copied to your workbench disk (see
FILES)
PRINTING
All of the document files on Anglia disks give you the option to PRINT by
clicking on Printfile at the bottom of the document screen.
PRINTING IF YOU BOOTED THIS DISK
Preferences is included and the printer driver that is selected is GENERIC.
With most printers all you need to do is make sure that your printer is
ready and click on printfile, the generic driver will produce good
text printouts on most dot matrix printers.
You can change printer drivers easily by double clicking on the Preferences
icon and selecting change printer. As many drivers as disk space allows are
included on this disk.
PRINTING AFTER LOADING WORKBENCH
Just click on printfile at the bottom of the document screen, your
workbench preferences will be used. (single disk drive users will be asked
for the workbench disk)
SCREEN COLOURS
The screen colours have been chosen in order to give the best results on
even the worst TV! you can easily change them with preferences. (this only
applies to booted Anglia disks and only to the initial screens and document
files, the colours used for many programs are normally set by the author
and cannot be changed)
IMPORTANT
Not all files or programs have icons, if you can't see what your looking
for that doesn't mean it's not there! WB2 users should select show all
files, WB1.3 users have to use the CLI or a directory utility such as the
PD program SID.
If the program refuses to work please make sure that you have tried loading
both ways before assuming that there is a fault.
FILES
A program that needs a special file or library will look on the system disk
for it. (the system disk is the disk that was used first after you turned
the Amiga on). If the file is not present on the system disk then the
program will refuse to work, it may give you a message something like
"Can't find REQ.library", but mostly it will just stop. If you wish to
use such a program after loading workbench then the correct files must be
copied to your workbench disk in the correct directory. Workbench 2 users
have the excellent "Show all Files" menu option from the workbench screen
which allows them to copy files from one place to another simply by
dragging the icon. Workbench 1.3 owners will have to use the CLI unless
they have a directory utility such as SID. In either case the file that is
to be copied over must go into the correct directory, in general if the
file is in the Libs directory of this disk then it must go into the Libs
on your workbench disk. Remember that none of this is needed unless you
insist on using the program after loading workbench.
Some files and libraries that are used by a lot of programs are:
NAME: NEEDS TO BE IN THE:
ARP. library Libs directory
REQ. Library ""
ILBM. Library ""
PPmore C directory
Xicon ""
IconX ""
There are others that you will come across but these are the most common.
Once you have them on your workbench you never need touch them again!
We hope that this file is of some help, if you need any further information
please phone and we will be happy to provide further assistance.
