- NOTE TO PEOPLE who received MegaBall on a PD disk, and tried to install it
- themselves but got "Can't find IconX" errors or whatever. A number of you
- have written to me about this problem. The solution is not to install
- the version that came on the PD disk, but install the version you just got
- from me, which uses NO IconX or funny ASSIGN stuff, and is probably a
- newer version anyway.

- Hello.
-
- Well, since you're actually reading this, you're probably one of those
- people who is confused about how to install this thing. So here are some
- nice instructions.
-
- 1) Installing the req.library.
- Boot up from the disk that you will normally be booting from when you
- run the Board Editor. This should be a hard disk if you have one. If
- you're using a copy of the workbench floppy disk, you might need to make
- some free space on this disk (see C= manual if you do) (But DON'T delete
- the "diskfont.library" from your LIBS: directory). Then, open a "Shell"
- or "CLI" to type in some commands, and type this one:
-
- COPY MEGABALL2.0:libs/req.library LIBS:
-
- 2) Now, if you want to run MegaBall itself from this disk as well, you will
- also be needing a few other things:
-
- COPY MEGABALL2.0:libs/iff.library LIBS:
-
- COPY MEGABALL2.0:fonts FONTS: ALL
-
- 3) Now your boot disk is wired for MegaBall. However, MegaBall itself
- doesn't need to go on that boot disk, you just need to boot from it
- before using MegaBall's editor. Now, if you want to copy MegaBall to
- a special drawer on, say, a hard disk or something, you just make the
- drawer and then drag the icons MEGABALL2.0, BoardEd2.0, MegaBall.Music,
- and Boards into it.
-
- That's all there is to it!
-
- --Ed.
