- =====================================================
- SCION GENEALOGIST 5
- =====================================================
-
- Programme Requirements:
- ----------------------
- Kickstart/Workbench v2.04 (or later). Version 2.10 (or later)
- required for locale support (alternative languages).
-
- A minimum of 1 Mbyte of RAM. 4 Mbytes of RAM is recommended.
- Hard-disk drive STRONGLY recommended.
-
- Installation:
- ------------
- The preferred method is to use the supplied "Install" programme.
-
- However, it is relatively easy to install Scion "by-hand"....
-
- (1) Create a drawer where you want Scion installed.
- (2) Drag or copy the Scion programme into this drawer.
- (3) The startup picture displayed when you run Scion is stored in a file
- named 'ScionLogo'. This file should be copied to the same drawer as the
- programme. If you prefer, you can replace this file with a picture file
- of your own (it MUST be in IFF-ILBM format), or you can delete it
- altogether. NOTE: This file has no icon - use the "Window/Show/All Files"
- menu on the Workbench to see the file.
- (4) Dearchive the "Scion.Guide" help file from "ScionSupport.lha" and store
- it in the same drawer as the programme.
-
- THIS COMPLETES THE MINIMUM INSTALLATION.
-
- (5) If you want to create your own ARexx programmes, you should dearchive the
- 'ScionRexx.Guide' file from the "ScionSupport.lha" archive. This file
- contains information on all the ARexx commands supported by Scion.
- (6) The default language of Scion is English. If there are additional
- (non-English) support files supplied, you should dearchive the files
- for your preferred language(s) from "ScionSupport.lha".
-
- The non-English files should be installed in two locations:
-
- (a) The "localisation" catalog files are -
- 'ScionProgDir/catalogs/language/scion5.catalog'
-
- where - 'ScionProgDir' is the (full) name of the Scion programme
- drawer, and
- - 'language' is the non-English language (eg 'deutsch'), and
- - 'scion5.catalog' is the non-English "localisation" file.
-
- Simply create the 'language' drawers for the languages you want
- and copy the appropriate 'scion5.catalog' files to these drawers.
-
- (b) The non-English help (.guide) files are -
- 'ScionProgDir/guides/language/Scion.Guide'
-
- where - 'ScionProgDir' is the (full) name of the Scion programme
- drawer, and
- - 'language' is the non-English language (eg 'deutsch'), and
- - 'Scion.Guide' is the non-English help file.
-
- Simply create the 'language' drawers for the languages you want
- and copy the appropriate 'Scion.Guide' files to these drawers.
-
- SPECIAL NOTE: If there is not a 'Scion.Guide' file in your preferred
- language, the (default) English help file should remain in
- the 'guides/english' drawer (or in the same drawer as the
- programme). Then the English help file will be available
- instead.
-
- (7) If you want to create your own non-English translations, you can
- use the files contained in the 'Translators' archive.
- (8) The archive "ScionARexx.lha" contains a large number of Scion ARexx
- support programmes supplied by Scion users.
