NComm Amiga communications package
----------------------------------
Because the NComm distribution is so large we have supplied
it on this disk as a single, self-extracting archive file
called `ncomm.run'. This means you have to do a little bit
of work before you get to play with it.
Detailed step-by-step instructions follow, but for those who
know what they are doing, simply run the `ncomm.run' file and
it will self-extract into a drawer and icon called `NComm'.
You may supply a path as a parameter to the command, for
example ...
1> ncomm.run RAM:
... or ...
1> ncomm.run Work:Comms/
Be warned that NComm needs about 500k of disk space all told.
All the `.doc' files have been crunched with PowerPacker and
their icons have `:fullview' as their Default Tool. This
program is in the root directory of this Jamdisk, and is also
in the self-extracting archive. FullView has a Save As option
in its Project menu if you want to convert any of the `.doc'
files back to plain ASCII format.
Okay, now the step-by-step instructions for beginners ...
SINGLE DRIVE USERS
------------------
1. Boot from your Workbench disk and open a Shell/CLI window.
2. At the command line enter the command ...
COPY C:COPY RAM:
3. Format a new floppy disk and give it the name NCOMM.
4. Insert a copy of JAMDISK10 into the drive.
5. At the command line enter the command ...
RAM:COPY JAMDISK10:NCOMM.RUN RAM:
6. Insert the newly formatted NCOMM disk into the drive.
7. At the command line enter the command ...
RAM:NCOMM.RUN NCOMM:
At the end of the extracting process all the NComm files
will be on the NCOMM disk in a drawer called `NComm'. Read
the various text files for installation and operating
instructions.
DUAL-DRIVE USERS
----------------
1. Boot from your Workbench disk and open a Shell/CLI window.
2. Format a new floppy disk in your external drive and give
it the name NCOMM.
3. Insert a copy of JAMDISK10 into the internal drive.
4. At the command line type ...
JAMDISK10:NCOMM.RUN NCOMM:
At the end of the extracting process all the NComm files
will be on the NCOMM disk in a drawer called `NComm'. Read
the various text files for installation and operating
instructions.
HARD DRIVE USERS
----------------
1. Boot from your hard disk and open a Shell/CLI window.
3. Insert a copy of JAMDISK10 into any drive.
4. At the command line type ...
JAMDISK10:NCOMM.RUN <device:path/>
where `device:' is the name of the partition you want
the NComm files to be extracted to (e.g. `Work:') and
`path/' is the directory on that partition you want
the NComm drawer to end up in (e.g. `Comms/').
So the full command line could look something like ...
JAMDISK10:NCOMM.RUN WORK:COMMS/
... which would result in an `NComm' drawer being created
inside the `Comms' drawer on the partition called `Work:'.
At the end of the extracting process all the NComm files
will be inside that drawer. Read the various text files
for installation and operating instructions.
