1. Working on Single Floppy Drive Amigas
To enter MaxiPlan on a Single Floppy Drive Amiga
* Boot from the MaxiPlan Release Disk
* Bring up MaxiPlan Plus and Open Worksheet
* remove your Boot Disk and place MaxiPlan Data
Disk in your disk drive.
* Select df0:
* Click on "Click Here to See the Directory"
* Proceed as normal following the instructions
for inserting the Boot and Data disks.
2. The "D" Menu
On the Control Window and the Worksheet Window have a new Menu for
future desk accessories. This Menu has been set aside as a "hook"
for future enhancements to MaxiPlan Plus.
3. How to Maximize Memory
On a 512 K system it may not be possible to open more than
one MaxiPlan Worksheet at a time along with one Chart at a
time. If you are having trouble redrawing a Chart, such as
having parts of the Chart missing, then you may be running
out of display memory.
To get around this try any or all of the following:
* Save and then reboot the system to clear up memory
fragmentation and create larger blocks of available memory.
* Turn off Fast Cell Display
* Use the Standard 4 Color Mode
* Close the Workbench
* Operate in 19 Line Mode.
In case you open a second Worksheet and run out of memory,
the second Worksheet maybe only a partial Worksheet. If
you need to Save either the First or Second Worksheet, you
may need to free up some memory by first closing one or the
other Worksheet.
4. External Drive Designation on Amiga 2000
Since the Amiga 2000 has two internal floppy disk drives,
MaxiPlan calls these drives df0 and df1.
If you are using an external floppy drive, to access
this drive you must key in df2: in the Path Name in the
MaxiPlan File Selector Window.
5. Freeze Titles
MaxiPlan can Freeze any number of Rows from the top and
number of Columns from the left.
To execute Freeze Titles:
* select a Range of Cells such that the bottom right most
Cell designates the boundary of Freeze Titles
* pull down the Options Menu and select Freeze Titles and
then select one of the Submenu Items:
- None
- Rows (Horizontal)
- Columns (Veritical)
- Both
6. 32,760 Rows in MaxiPlan Plus
MaxiPlan Plus has been limited to a maximum Worksheet size
of 32,760 Rows.
7. Installation of MaxiPlan Plus on a new Workbench Disk
Your Amiga computer comes with a Workbench Disk. MaxiPlan Plus
is a bootable disk in that it has Workbench 1.2 installed on it
already. You may wish to transfer MaxiPlan either to a backup
copy of your Workbench or onto a copy of any new version of the
Workbench that may subsequently be released.
When installing MaxiPlan onto a new Workbench, you will want to
install a special set of Fonts which are only used by Charts in
a high resolution mode.
To install MaxiPlan on a new Workbench Disk, be certain to copy
the entire MaxiPlan drawer, not just the program.
To install the special Trantor font set:
Assuming you place MaxiPlan disk in df1 and your new system or
boot disk in df0:
From CLI type:
* COPY DF1:TRANTOR.FONT DF0:FONTS <CR>
* MAKEDIR DF0:FONTS/TRANTOR <CR>
* COPY DF1:TRANTOR/16 DF0:FONTS/TRANTOR <CR>
8. Hard Disk Installation
When installing MaxiPlan on a Hard Disk a few points must be
kept in mind.
* The whole directory should be copied not just the MaxiPlan program
* The directory should be copied to the Root directory of
the Hard Disk
* Install the special Trantor font set for using Charts in high
resolution or 44 line display mode.
9. When generating a Mail Merge output to a Disk File, there is no
Icon created. You must access the Disk File from the File Selector
or CLI.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
To Get a Hard Copy of this File from the CLI
