- There are many techniques. What I use is this;
-
- Create a project icon (game.info).
- edit a file (startup program) to set up assigns and run the program
- (game).
- example:
-
- ASSIGN Pacman: "" ;The double quote is expanded to the current directory
- Pacman
-
- A good starting point is to look at the s/startup-sequence on the floppy
- disk. It may have the needed assigns you need. If you copy the entire
- floppy to the HD, and then run the program, and you get a requestor
- saying "Please insert volume SO&SO", you need to put that assign in your
- startup program.
