- Hm, it is quite some while back that i used the shareware version of DICE on
- my old A500. However, yes DICE works from floppy only. I can remember that
- there was some .README about this, but from what i recall, put the binaries
- and the includes onto one disk, make the according assigns (dcc: -> disk1:,
- dinclude: -> disk1:include, ...), put the glue code (directory dlib) onto
- the second disk, make the according assigns (dlib -> disk2:dlib) and that should
- be it. the rest (example code, autodocs, manuals) are not needed for operation.
-
- But perhaps it was put the binaries on one and the includes and the libs onto
- the other disk... ?
-
- Anyhow, if the assigns are set right, DICE request the disk it needs during compilation.
- If you do have two floppies, that should be no problem, otherwise, try putting
- the files in the way indicated first to reduce disk changes (the glue code is only
- accessed during linking).
-
- If I still do have the .readme, i will mail it to you on monday (my Amiga is
- at home :( ).
