- DEMON INTERNET INSTALL AmigaDIS (v2.00)
- =======================================
-
- The setup program installs AmigsNOS,TIN and the AmigaElm packages on
- your hard disk. It copies a few utilities (find, jed) to your
- SYS:c directory, arp and reqtools libraries to LIBS: and a few fonts
- to the FONTS: area.
-
- It also copies the script file "dis-startup" to the S: directory. This
- script needs to be run as part of your startup-sequence. To do this add
- the following line to the end of your "user-startup" file on S:
-
- execute s:dis-startup
-
- If you have not installed DIS in WORK:AmigaNOS then you will need to modify
- just the top line of dis-startup.
-
- Then re-boot the amiga so that the assigns in this file take effect.
-
- The AmigaDIS window should contain the folowing icons:
-
- Connect This should dial and connect to Demon Internet. When
- conected mail and news transfers will take place in
- background, with information shown in the status window.
-
- Read_Mail This starts AmigaELM mail reader. Note when your editor is
- started when you mail or reply, the editor window will be
- behind the Elm window. Press Right-Amiga+M to bring the
- editor window to the front.
-
- Read_News This starts the TIN News Reader. Any new news postings
- will be un-batchd first, this can take some time. On exit
- from news and postings you have made will be batched ready
- to transmit the next time you connect.
-
- Trim_News This Removes old News Articles after a preset time set
- when you added the newsgroup to your file.
-
- Setup Use the setup program whenever you wish to change the list
- of newsgroups that you subscrive to.
-
- NOS_Docs Various hep files about NOS, Elm and TIN. I hope to update
- these very soon.
-
- Clear_Locks If your system crashes while running NOS it may leave
- lock files behind. This just clears up the lock files.
