- .SDA's are .ARC files with a special bootfile at the front of it (SDA = Self
- DeArcing last I heard, but that's trivial...). The ARCAID package at milton
- contains a version of the SDA.ML bootfile. The steps involved are:
-
- 1) make a duplicate copy of the SDA.ML file with a .ARC extension
- (C0:name.ARC=0:SDA.ML).
-
- 2) create SEQ text file containing whatever you want the opening message to be
- (this option may not be available on earlier versions of SDA.ML, but is on the
- one mention above (the one I use)) This file may contain any CBMSCII
- characters, like CLR/HOME, colors, CRSR, etc. which are used to create
- special effects -- the title screen of SDA is generated by an -xp of the first
- file in the archive)
-
- 3) ARC/A name.arc textfilename otherfiles... as often as needed
-
- 4) R0:name.SDA=0:name.ARC
-
- That's all!
