Brief Installation guide (refer to the ST-Guide HYPertext for more info)
===========================================================================
To minimise the risk of other software affecting the installation of
ST-Guide perform the installation after a reboot on a 'clean' minimum
system!
Extracting the archives (Skip if your version is already extracted)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Extract the contents of the archives OR copy the contents of the
master disk onto the root directory of your boot partition/disk.
Either method should preserve the directory structure and ensures ST-GUIDE
can locate its files. Double check to ensure ST-GUIDE.ACC and ST-GUIDE.INF
reside in the root directory of the boot partition or disk.
Configuring ST-Guide Lite (Only neccessary if not pre-configured)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Using a text editor (eg Everest) you can edit the example ST-GUIDE.INF
below and save it as ST-GUIDE.INF. Carefully read through the options.
Each option is described in detail followed by the option line itself.
Lines preceded with a '#' character are NOT currently active.
ST-GUIDE should not be renamed as some applications which offer on-line
help may not be able to find it.
Example ST-GUIDE.INF file:
------------------------------------------ cut here -----------------------
# This is an example INF file. It's set with hard drive users in mind but
# floppy based users could set up a RAM disk as drive C: and run ST-Guide
# from there.
# You can edit this file using any ASCII text editor and change the paths
# to point to the locations for the various components of ST-Guide.
# It currently looks for a 'GUIDES' folder on 'C', which contains all the
# 'HYP and 'REF' files, and a 'STGUIDE' folder also on 'C' which contains
# all the tools.
# Lines beginning with the '#' symbol, like the lines you just read are
# ignored by ST-Guide and are for information only.
#
# Default search path, where ST-Guide looks for 'HYP' hypertexts:
PATHS=c:\guides;c:\stguide
#
# Default directory ST-Guide opens when calling the File Selector.
# HCP also compiles to this path:
HYPFOLD=c:\guides\
#
# Path to external viewer which is used to display unknown file types.
# The viewer must be loaded in memory!:
#EXTVIEW=NOTICE
#
# The hypertext file to be loaded via the ST-Guide 'Catalog' option or when
# ST-Guide is started without parameters:
HYPTOP=c:\guides\catalog.hyp
#
# The file used to find references:
REF=c:\guides\all.ref
#
# ST-Guide can use GDOS screen fonts if loaded, refer to main
# documentation for syntax details:
#FONT=98,9
#
# HCP is used to compile STG files into HYP files. STool uses this
# entry to 'compile':
HCP=c:\stguide\hcp\hcp.ttp
#
# The number of spaces a tab will be expanded to is set here:
#TABSIZE=4
#
# This variable is provided to install ARROWPATCH. This patch corrects
# a bug in the AES which prevents the scroll bars in windowed
# accessories from working correctly with certain TOS versions.
# If you exerience this behaviour activate this patch ON (by removing
# the preceding #).
# This patch is not needed if you are running WINX, MagiC, MTOS or
# already running ARROWPATCH.
#ARROWPATCH=1
#
# The first two values set the top left corner of the window. The
# next two values set the bottom right corner for the ST-Guide window:
WINSIZE=40,40,560,320
#
# This file will be loaded automatically if ST-Guide is started without
# parameters:
DEFHYP=st-guide.hyp
#
# These options are used automatically when HCP is called:
HCP_OPT=+zz-s
#
# That's it, wasn't too painful was it!
