This version of Genealogy on Display runs nicely on my A2000HD. To make it
run, I get a CLI and type:
STACK 20000
ASSIGN A: DF0:
ASSIGN B: DF2: (you may need to use df1:)
RUN DF0:MENU
and it loads and runs. The program has been compiled, so there is no need
to enter AmigaBASIC - just run it. The 'readmefirst' file suggests a stack
of 12000, but I kept getting crashes until I set it to 20K.
I have added some icons to this file, and have tried to set them up to work
as is. The 'readme' icons expect a c: directory containing LESS, so I made
a c: directory in the file. If they just flash at you and do not load the
files, check for Less in your c: directory.
It is possible to enter the Stack and Assign commands from the CLI or from
your startup-sequence, and then use the icon to run the program. I have set
the stack to 20000 in the supplied icon, but you may need to add other ToolTypes
to fit your own system. Read about Tooltypes in chapter 1, pages 2, 3,
and 12 of the Enhancer manual for 1.3.
Unfortunately, the program did NOT run on my A1000 with 512K. Even with
most of the resident commands removed, it still reported that there was not
enough memory. I cannot recommend trying to use the program with less than
1M of memory.
My thanks to Melvin Duke, who wrote GENEALOGY ON DISPLAY, and also to the
programmer who ported it to the AMiga. I'm sorry, but I do not have his
name.
