- INTERNET STARTER-PACK FOR ACORN RISC OS 3.1 COMPUTERS (v 1.10)
- ============================================================
-
- Starter Pack = Acorn spk archive file = 1.3MB approx
-
- This is the Internet Starter-Pack configured for Demon users.
- To get going, download the two files "sparkplug" and "StarterPak".
- (Set for binary mode transfer if via the Internet)
-
- *** Discs supplied by me may contain the !ArcFS application rather
- than !Sparkplug, just double-click to open the archive, then drag
- to your "Internet" directory to unpack ***
-
- *** The ARCADE version will decompress with !ArcFS ***
-
- When you have the files on disc, settype the file sparkplug
- to BASIC and double-click on it. This creates !SparkPlug, which
- you should then run. Drag the file "StarterPak" onto the Sparkplug
- icon, which should open up a filer window with lots of goodies.
- Do a "select all" then drag them out of the archive into a filer
- window on your hard disc. Read the text help files to find out
- how to configure it all (Look in the directory Docs & read the
- Guide first)
-
- NB. remember that after you have dragged the applications out of the
- archive and onto disc that you need to either;
-
- (1) run all the !Boot files inside all the applications, or
- (2) reboot the machine before running any of the stuff as Risc OS will
- be pointing to the stuff in the archive, not the new copies on the disc.
-
- I hope you find the Starter-Pack useful! I am extremely grateful to the
- various software authors who have allowed their programs to be included
- here. If you have any comments or suggestions about how I could improve
- the pack - please contact me via Arcade BB (gah) or Email
