HOW TO DRIVE MEGADISC 27
SEE FULL LISTING OF CONTENTS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS FILE
......................................................................
URGENT REMINDER: MEGADISC WILL ONLY EXIST AS LONG AS YOU BUY IT
IF YOU COPY IT, YOU'LL KILL IT
PLEASE GIVE IT SOME THOUGHT IF YOU'RE TEMPTED TO STEAL IT
FOR DETAILS ON HOW TO ORDER FROM MEGADISC, SEE THE MD_INFO DRAWER
......................................................................
Just like the others, all you have to do is click on icons with the
mouse. But to get a "full view" of it, read the rest of this doc.
TEXT & GRAPHICS DISPLAYER - FULLVIEW
To find out all about FullView's features, read the "FullView_doc" on
the MD24_B disk or our Catalogue disk, or press the HELP key right now,
or select HELP from Fullview's menu. What you used to do with Most also
works with Fullview, but Fullview has more alternatives, specifically
the ability to move up and down through the files at variable speed
using the mouse - try it now: click the mouse once to move up or down
depending on whether the mouse is in the top or bottom half of the
screen; click again to stop. To exit a file press "q" or "ESC" or use
the menu QUIT. Experiment with it, you can run it by mouse, menu or
keyboard as it suits you.
We hope you like FullView (by Jon Potter with thanks), and would
appreciate any feedback about it, good and bad.
KILLING VIRUSES
Regarding disk infestations - Use VIRUSCHECKER in the VIRUS drawer to
check and kill any and all disks and directories for bootblock and File
viruses. Just double-click on the icon, and then press the Right Mouse
Button on the VirusChecker menu bar and up will pop a little window
where you can enter the disk you want to check, say DF0: for example.
Users of NoVirus (commercial or the MD19 version) can update their Brain
File by copying the new one in the VIRUS drawer to the L: directory of
the Disk that contains your NoVirus. For example, enter into your
Shell:
COPY MEGADISC27:VIRUS/NOVIRUS.BRAIN L:
GRAPHICS
To exit the graphics in the HARDWARE drawer and elsewhere, click
the left mouse button in the top left corner of the picture; or press
the ESC key; or press the "q" key. (It's almost hard to stay in it!)
PRINTING OUT FILES - AND STRIPPING ESCAPE CODES
Fullview will print out any file from the Menu - either the current
page or the whole file.
Some printers don't like the Escape Codes that we put in the text
files to liven it up - the NX1000 colour printer tends to print out
slowly in colour, for example. Randall Crook took this problem in hand
and wrote us a little utility called SCSTRIP which takes a normal text
file (ASCII file) and strips out the codes. They can then be printed in
any normal way. Check the program out in the MD_INFO drawer of MD24,
. Meanwhile, you'll have to SAVE the files you want to print, from the
Fullview menu - up will pop a requestor so you can save it to some place
with some name (perhaps RAM:FILE). Then use SCSTRIP on it to strip the
codes, and then you can print it out, with Fullview if you wish, by
LOADing it in via the menu again.
INFO ON MEGADISC - ORDERING, MAIL ORDER, CONTRIBUTING, ETC.
Have a look at the files in the MD_INFO drawer for more info about
MEGADISC, such as how to order public domain disks or Megadisc from us,
how to buy from our mail order hardware and software service, how to
contribute to Megadisc, etc.
