Installation

Installing AWeb

Installing AWeb is straightforward. Just double-click the Install icon.

The archive contains three different Workbench icons for AWeb: for the standard Workbench, for MagicWB, and for NewIcons. The installation process will ask you which you want to install. The other icons are saved in a separate drawer so you can switch icons later.

AWeb needs some ClassAct classes. To limit the size of the demo, and to avoid including obsolete versions of classes, the ClassAct files are not included in the demo archive. See the ClassAct notes for infomation how to obtain the most recent set of files.

Installer problems

In the past, Commodore has released several versions of the Installer program with quite different capabilities. Unfortunately, some misbehaving installation procedures of other applications might have copied an earlier version of the Installer program onto your hard disk. This can result in error messages like:

   Unable to compile script

when you try to install AWeb.

If you get such error message, you should delete SYS:Utilities/Installer if it exists in that drawer, and make sure the file SYS:C/Installer is the same as the one on your Workbench 3.x Install diskette.

Configuring the JFIF datatype

If you use the JFIF datatype (by Christoph Feck, TowerSystems), then please read this:

The JFIF datatype doesn't seem to handle shareable pens on public screens correctly under all circumstances. You have to install AWeb in the datatype or else AWeb will not be able to show inline JPEG images.

In the JFIF preference editor, you must add an application named AWebIP (AWeb Image Processing), and then select Single-Pass Quantization (in the GadTools version of the preference editor) or One-pass (in the MUI version).

The AWebLib drawer

In order to reduce the size of the executable, some less frequently used parts of AWeb are located in separate files. AWeb expects these files to be found in the AWebLib subdrawer. You must not move these files out of their drawer, or else some functions of AWeb may cease to work.
