- !Help for AutoStart Version 1.00
- ----------------------------------
-
-
- *** AutoStart will only work on HardDisc systems ***
-
-
- Files included in this package :-
-
- !Boot
- !Help
- !Run
- Config
-
- Usage
- -------
-
- *Run (or double-click) the Config file.
-
- This creates a directory called AutoStart in the root directory of your
- HardDisc and copies !Boot onto the root and !Run into AutoStart. It also
- issues some *Configure commands to enable the !Boot file to be run at power
- on and Ctrl-Break. Remember, only the !Boot and !Run files are needed from
- now on, but keep a backup copy of the entire application so that you can
- pass it on to a friend.
-
- When you switch on, your Archimedes will now enter the Desktop and
- automatically execute all the applications stored in $.AutoStart. There will
- also be a window in the centre of the screen showing the version; the
- application currently being run; the time and an indication of how full your
- HardDisc is. When AutoStart has finished (the middle icon is blank) you can
- cancel it simply by clicking the mouse.
-
- It is a good idea to include !System and !Fonts within AutoStart because
- some applications will need them. Applications are run after their !Boot
- files except !System and !Fonts which only have their !Boot files run.
- Actually, !System.!Boot (if it exists) is run first and !Fonts.!Boot (if it
- exists) is run second. AutoStart can handle a maximum of 76 applications.
