!Help for AutoStart Version 1.00
----------------------------------
*** AutoStart will only work on HardDisc systems ***
Files included in this package :-
!Boot
!Help
!Run
Config
Usage
-------
*Run (or double-click) the Config file.
This creates a directory called AutoStart in the root directory of your
HardDisc and copies !Boot onto the root and !Run into AutoStart. It also
issues some *Configure commands to enable the !Boot file to be run at power
on and Ctrl-Break. Remember, only the !Boot and !Run files are needed from
now on, but keep a backup copy of the entire application so that you can
pass it on to a friend.
When you switch on, your Archimedes will now enter the Desktop and
automatically execute all the applications stored in $.AutoStart. There will
also be a window in the centre of the screen showing the version; the
application currently being run; the time and an indication of how full your
HardDisc is. When AutoStart has finished (the middle icon is blank) you can
cancel it simply by clicking the mouse.
It is a good idea to include !System and !Fonts within AutoStart because
some applications will need them. Applications are run after their !Boot
files except !System and !Fonts which only have their !Boot files run.
Actually, !System.!Boot (if it exists) is run first and !Fonts.!Boot (if it
exists) is run second. AutoStart can handle a maximum of 76 applications.
