-
- Installing Istar without 'Installer' program
- --------------------------------------------
-
- (This is what Install_Istar script would do) The only step that is
- strictly necessary is (3), copying the program. The next most important
- steps are (7), so you have the right assigns on startup, and (4) so
- you have documentation available.
-
- 1. Select (or create) drawer to receive Istar system; call this Dest:
- 2. Get into the drawer/disk holding Istar system; call this Source:
-
- 3. Copy Source:Istar#? Dest:
- That copies program, icon and preferences file across
- That is all that is strictly necessary.
-
- 4. Copy Source:Docs Dest: All
- That copies all the documentation. You should at least do this.
-
- 5. Copy Source:KBs Dest: All
- That copies sample knowledge bases
- 6. Copy Source:iff.library libs:
- That is not strictly needed, but safer
-
- 7. Edit your s:user-startup, to append the following lines to its end:
- ;BEGIN Istar
- assign KBTools: <wherever your Dest is>
- assign IstarSys: <wherever your Dest is>
- ;END Istar
- That step is important for normal running of Istar.
-
- Executing Istar
- -----------------
-

- 1. Istar uses two screens - a 'draw screen' and a 'control screen'. Use
- the 'Screen' button to cycle between the two screens.
-
- 2. To load a KB, click the load button on the control screen and select a
- file. This KB can now be examined and amended by returning to the draw
- screen.
