- Hello Amiga owning universe!
-
- Firstly, congratulations on loading this document. You are obviously a
- person of taste.
-
- I can see you're just dying to know what Amiga Interactive Guide is
- aren't you. Well it's the answer to all your dreams (probably). Yes!
- It's a complete replacement AmigaGuide document providing even more
- detail about the Amiga and Workbench. It has all the things that you
- ever wanted to know about Amiga and probably some you didn't.
-
- AiG features:
- Every Amiga ever- past, present and future!!
- A HUGE Frequently Asked Question section!!
- A complete guide to Workbench menus, commands, directories and more!!
- Quite a large guide to Operating Systems!!
- And more!!
- An exclamation mark extravaganza!!
-
- INSTALLATION
-
- To use the installation script you must boot from the device you
- wish to install it to. If this is not possible then you can either
- manually install using the directions below or make a HELP: assign
- to the Locale/Help/ drawer on your chosen installation device.
-
- If you want to read the document before you install it simply load
- the AmigaGuide.Guide file into your favourite AmigaGuide viewer
- (Multiview, AmigaGuide etc). However,you will not be able to use the
- search function.
-
- This document will be most use to you if you have Workbench 3+. If
- you are using OS2.0 then it may not install properly. However, as
- mentioned you can simply read it using your favourite viewer.
-
- REQUIREMENTS
-
- SearchGuide in the C: directory.
- An AmigaGuide compatible viewer.
- As much memory as possible, otherwise the links may be a bit slow to
- use.
- Workbench 3 to install the guide
-
- HYPERGUIDE
-
- If you have HyperGuide installed permanently AiG will function
- far better as the external links will work. Create a drawer in your
- boot device called AiGStart. You will now be able to access that
- directory from the guide using the Directory datatype. This will allow
- you to load any guides or pictures stored there. Trust me its
- brilliant.
-
- INSTALLATION
-
- I have included a simple script to install the files instead of a
- proper Installer because:
- A)I don't know how to make Installer files yet.
- B)I have A level exams in June (next Tuesday in fact), so I really
- need to do some revision.
-
- If you are installing these files manually the AmigaGuide.Guide file
- needs to be copied to HELP:English/Sys/ and the original
- AmigaGuide.Guide needs to be renamed AmigaGuide.Old.
-
- Read the actual guide file for copyright and restrictions.
- If you have any suggestions write to the address in the guide.
-
- REMEMBER. ONLY FORKS MAKE IT POSSIBLE (Erm. Hidden meaning anyone).
