- [C;6;B] Start with lk®
- [J;1;N]
- lk® is a utility which works from CLI or from your \
- Workbench. In that second case you must have a prepared \
- WITH file. In any case you should have a preference file. \
- You may use 'lkopts' utility to create those files.
- In order to run lk at its full power, you should assign \
- the directory of lk as 'LK:'. That directory should include \
- 'HELP/', 'PREFS/', 'GUIDE/', 'SOURCES/', 'LIB/', 'ICONS/', \
- 'TOOLS/' directories.
-
- In any case, when you start lk on V36+, it checks global \
- variables of the AmigaDOS. You may defined a global variable \
- with the instruction 'setenv' of your CLI (you will have to \
- copy variables from 'ENV:' to 'ENVARC:' to keep them after \
- a reset.) Those variables are not necessary. The available \
- variables are:
-
- . LK/PREFS
-
- Gives the preference file name. If this file does not exist, \
- the default preference file will be searched as usuly. For \
- more informations, please refer to the following documentation:
- [C;3][LINK command; GOTO preferences] The preferences file
- [J;1]
- . LK/OBJPATH
- . LK/LIBPATH
- . LK/FDPATH
- . LK/WITHPATH
- . LK/ICONPATH
-
- Give the path of the given type. Those are unused when you \
- use the preference files: 'slink.prefs', 'dice.prefs' or \
- 'blink.prefs'. For more information, please refer to the \
- following documentation:
- [C;3][LINK paths] PATHS
- [J;1]
- . LHAOPTS
-
- This variable is used by the archiver. If you have archived \
- libraries and you use 'lha' tool, then the LHAOPTS variable can \
- be set to add some option flags to the default ones. The actual \
- command line to extract files is:
-
- lha -q e <library name> <file name>
-
- A great option is also: '-w t:' to have the temporary files \
- created in memory instead of your hard drive.
- [INDENT 6]
- [LABEL cli][B] Start from CLI:
- [B]
- . type lk followed by a list of instruction
- . create a WITH file and type 'lk with <with file>'
- . create a WITH file named lk.with and type lk alone
-
- [LABEL workbench][B] Start from your Workbench:
- [B]
- . double-click on lkopts to create the WITH file
- . click on lk icon and then double-click on a WITH file
- (You may select several WITH files)
- [INDENT 10] OUTPUT
- that type defines the output window; all lk messages \
- will be sent to that window.
- PREFS
- that type defines the preferences file name. That name \
- will overwrite the global variable LK/PREFS definition and it \
- will be used instead of the usual default 'lk.prefs' file.
- OBJPATH
- LIBPATH
- FDPATH
- WITHPATH
- ICONPATH
- those types define the given acces paths. Those \
- definitions will erase the one given in global variables.
- Note: if you define WITHPATH before or after PREFS \
- it will be used to serach the preference file.
