Installation
------------
You will need to open a shell to install ACE. Installation consists of:
- Extracting the four archives found in the single supplied ACE
archive.
- Adding a few commands to your s:user-startup (Wb 2.x/3.x) or
s:startup-sequence (Wb 1.3) file.
The distribution archive contains:
- MAIN.lha (main ACE files with a few examples)
- DOCS.lha (documentation for ACE,A68K and Blink)
- PRGS.lha (more example programs)
- AIDE.lha (a graphical front-end for ACE)
All four will fit onto a single floppy disk in their compressed form.
So, extract these four archives into RAM:, into a temporary hard disk
directory or onto an empty floppy disk with:
lha x <ACE-archive>
eg.
lha x ACE23
You must now extract the files from each archive with:
lha -a x <archive>
eg.
lha -a x MAIN
The "-a" switch preserves file attributes (eg. the "s" bit on shell scripts)
in the archive.
If you have a hard disk, just extract all four archives into a directory
created for ACE (eg: sys:ACE). Extract MAIN.lha first. This will set up the
directory structure and main ACE files.
The extraction of MAIN.lha also creates three subdirectories for the last
three archives. Extract DOCS.lha, PRGS.lha and AIDE.lha into the docs, prgs
and AIDE subdirectories.
If you are using a floppy-only system, extract MAIN.lha onto one disk and
the last three archives onto other disks to suit yourself. The disk on which
the main ACE files reside is the volume to which the shell commands discussed
below refer.
Next, add the following lines to your user-startup or startup-sequence
script:
assign ACE: <volume or directory>
path ACE:bin add
where <volume or directory> is the name of the disk or directory where
the main ACE files now reside (eg: assign ACE: sys:ACE).
In addition, you need to add three more statements to your startup-sequence
or user-startup script:
assign ACElib: ACE:lib ; bas finds scanned libraries here.
assign ACEbmaps: ACE:bmaps ; ace looks here for .bmap files.
assign ACEinclude: ACE:include ; app uses this for include files.
Now reboot your Amiga to let the above path and assign commands take effect.
That's it!
** Note: As an alternative to these startup script modifications, you can
use the "ACEsetup" script to be found in MAIN.lha. Read the comments at
the top of that script for usage details.
