- This is a simple update to Mr Ponzio's original Arexx script. I hope he doesn't mind me UL'ing this.
- This document is designed to be in conjunction with the original read me.
-
- Update.
-
- -- First: This doc. I had a hard time understanding exactly how the program was supposed
- to work, so I thought a better explanation was in order.
-
- -- Second: Mr Ponzio's script used very specific path names for file placement that wouldn't have fit
- most peoples installations. I changed these. Now input files are expected from Gcc:info/ where
- they should have been placed by default. If Gcc was installed properly GCC: should be assigned to
- whatever directory the program is in, and the info directory should have been created and its files
- automatically installed. If for some reason you're setup is different, simply assign gcc: to
- wherever the installation was created. i.e. assign gcc: work:gcc.
- Output files, that is those .guide files created by info2guide are stored in output: You will have
- to assign output: to where ever you want the file(s) created. A good place is in the Ram disk. So
- if you wanted them in the Ram disk simply do this at a command prompt. assign output: ram: or if
- you wanted them in your work:amigaguids directory say assign output: work:amigaguids NOTE: some
- amigaguide file can get quite large, > 1 meg in some cases.
-
-
- Now for finite instructions.
-
- 1) Make sure GCC: is assigned to the proper place (see above)
- 2) Assign output: to where you want the output file to go (see above)
- 3) Make sure the rexx inturpriter is running. Rexx is a seperate program needed if you want to use
- this script. You may be able to get it off of BBS's or the Internet if you don't already have it.
- 4) At a shell or cli prompt type rx info2guide.rexx filename Where filename is one of the groups
- of file in the gcc:info/ directory. For example, to process gcc.info-1 through gcc.info-23 you
- would type rx info2guide.rexx gcc This is assuming that info2guide is in the gcc:info/
- directory.
- 5) Wait for a couple of years, now aren't you gald you have a multitasking computer. :)
