- USAGE
- If the datatypes descriptor file was activated, any attempt to load
- a MPEG System stream using GMultiView, MultiView, AmigaGuide or
- SwitchWindow will load and play the movie.
-
- INSTALLATION
- After unpacking this archive:
- Because this version does not include an Installer script, you have
- to do the installation manually through the shell:
-
- - Unpack this archive and copy the "mpegsystem.datatype" to
- SYS:Classes/DataTypes/:
-
- Copy CLONE FROM "mpegsystem.datatype" TO
- "SYS:Classes/DataTypes/mpegsystem.datatype"
-
- - Then copy the datatypes descriptor into the DEVS:DataTypes
- directory.
- If the descriptor already exists, you should not replace it,
- otherwise you may loose "toolnodes" and other settings stored in
- the existing descriptor.
-
- Copy CLONE FROM "MPEG System(%|.info)" TO DEVS:Datatypes/
