- Installation
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~
- You can install these into Blitz2 in two different ways:
-
- 1) Temporary installation: Put the .OBJ files (found in each
- specific directory of this archive ) into your
- Blitzlibs:Userlibs/ drawer and do a RELOAD LIBS from inside
- Blitz2 (this command is on the COMPILER folder). The new
- commands will be available but will be deleted when you quit
- Blitz2.
-
- ** NOTE ** For RELOAD ALL LIBS to work, the only directories
- that should be in BLITZLIBS: are
- Amigalibs
- Basic
- System
- Userlibs
-
- DO **NOT** store any folders of your own on Blitzlibs:.
-
- 2) This is the better way of doing it but you can only do this
- if you have a Blitz2 program called MakeDeflibs. This program
- scans the Blitzlibs: directory for folders and puts every
- library it finds into a new DEFLIBS file. After doing this,
- you have to delete the libraries and create a new DEFLIBS to
- remove the commands.
- To do this permanent addition then, copy the library files into
- Blitzlibs:Userlibs/ and then run MakeDeflibs. Now reload your
- copy of Blitz2 and you'll have the new commands available.
-
- If you have any probs, installing these then let us know
- and we'll sort you out.
-
- If you know of any library token clashes, please let us know
- and we will be (un)willing to change them.
-
- If you have any suggestions/comments, PLEASE write to :

-
- The libraries will be constantly updated and free updates will be sent on
- demand. We hope you find these libraries useful (you should do - we find them
- useful, nearly all the programs we've written rely on these and our other
- libraries in some way) and would appreciate any comments you want to make
- about them being sent to us. In particular, we would like
- to know about:
-
- o Bugs in the commands
- o Possible enhancements that could be made
- o Additional commands that you'd like to see in the
- libraries
- o Any problems you have using the commands
- o Anything that you hate (or luv) about the commands
- o any pleas for help or source code to these libraries
-
- And finally, if you've done something stonking in Blitz that you just have
- to tell people about them TELL US! Send us anything interesting you've
- done in Blitz or 680x0 assembly language.
-
- And finally, finally, ANY PROBLEMS - mail us at.........
